MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), a real estate technology platform focused on innovation and agent culture, today announced that entrepreneur and JPAR Real Estate founder JP Piccinini will be working with Real as a Growth Leader. In this role, he will work closely with Chief Growth Officer Jason Cassity to support agents, teams and brokerage leaders across the Real network.

Over the course of his career, Piccinini has served as an agent, brokerage owner, franchisee and franchisor, giving him a broad perspective on the real estate industry at every stage of business development.

"I've spent my entire real estate career helping agents grow," Piccinini said. "I've always believed success is about more than production. It's about building a business that creates freedom, stability and long-term wealth. Real shares that philosophy. It gives agents the tools, collaboration and opportunities to grow their income in multiple ways, and I'm excited to help them unlock that potential."

Based in Texas, Piccinini will also host regular in-person events throughout the state, including monthly roundtables focused on growth strategies, leadership development and business-building best practices.
