NŌVEM Real Estate Joins The Real Brokerage in New York City

10-agent boutique brings agent-focused model and luxury focus to Real

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), a real estate technology platform focused on innovation and agent culture, today announced that NŌVEM Real Estate, a New York City-based boutique team led by Ethan Leifer, has joined the company. The addition expands Real’s presence across key New York markets, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and Westchester County.

Founded approximately two and a half years ago as 74 West, the newly launched NŌVEM Real Estate is a 10-agent team that operates with a boutique approach, serving a range of clients from everyday homebuyers to luxury clientele.

Prior to launching his own brokerage, Leifer led a successful team at Compass. He established his own brokerage with a vision of delivering high-level service and support to agents at all stages of their careers, creating an environment where agents can build and scale their personal brands while receiving the resources typically reserved for top-producing teams.

“I set out to create a more supportive, agent-focused environment where everyone has access to the tools and guidance needed to grow,” said Leifer. “As we look to scale, having the right economic model allows us to reinvest in our agents and our business in a meaningful way. I was truly blown away by the technology and the culture. It’s the complete package, and those elements are what really set it apart.”

Leifer brings significant industry experience to Real, having closed more than $1 billion in real estate transactions over the course of his 13-year career.

“NŌVEM represents the kind of entrepreneurial, agent-first team that thrives on our platform,” said Jason Cassity, Real’s Chief Growth Officer. “Ethan’s focus on supporting agents and building a scalable, sustainable business aligns closely with Real’s mission, and we’re excited to welcome him and his team.”
