A lower-cost digital brokerage for real estate agents
The residential real estate market has not yet been brought into the 21st century. People looking to buy and sell homes have to deal with high commission rates, while real estate agents deal with legacy in-office brokerages that operate slowly. There is a lot of friction and time wasted in real estate transactions that can be saved with digital tools.
This is where The Real Brokerage steps in. As a cloud-based brokerage, it offers a digital brokerage and software tools to real estate agents who want to escape legacy brokerages. You see, every real estate agent is required to use a brokerage to process residential real estate transactions.
However, historically, these brokerages would take a large cut of the commissions earned by real estate agents, a process still employed today even with modern internet real estate portals.
With no offices and a software-first approach, The Real Brokerage has lower costs and therefore can take a smaller cut of transactions for real estate agents who work for the platform.
Lower costs and robust software tools are driving agents to switch to The Real Brokerage. In the first quarter of 2025, the number of agents signed up with the brokerage grew 61% year over year to around 27,000. More agents mean more real estate transactions, which led to a 76% increase in revenue in the quarter to $354 million.
Since going public, The Real Brokerage's revenue is up more than 10,000% cumulatively, making it one of the fastest-growing companies on the planet.
Macroeconomic headwinds turning to tailwinds?
The Real Brokerage is growing quickly despite the fact that existing home sales have frozen in the United States because of high interest rates. Annualized transactions have fallen to 4 million in recent quarters, compared to around 6 million in a normal environment.
Fewer transactions in residential real estate mean weaker demand for The Real Brokerage. However, it is still taking a ton of market share and should benefit once this eventually unfreezes.
Think of this as a slowly filling demand for potential home purchases. People want to buy homes or move, but cannot afford to because of mortgage rates and home prices. As this changes, investors could see huge growth in existing home sales, which will help the growth of The Real Brokerage.

Why The Real Brokerage could become the next Palantir
What makes The Real Brokerage like Palantir is not only its fast growth, but its embrace of AI. It has launched Leo AI, a digital AI concierge for real estate agents to help with busywork around homebuying and selling. As mentioned above, buying a home is an arduous process for both the buyer and the agent. This is a tailor-made situation for AI, and The Real Brokerage is building products for it.
Over the long term, The Real Brokerage is working to build an AI-assisted real estate portal for clients, which would likely compete with Zillow Group. While it's a long way away from being widespread, The Real Brokerage has large ambitions and is executing at a blistering pace to try to become the AI and software layer of the residential real estate market.
Today, you can buy shares of The Real Brokerage at a market cap of just $823 million. The company is not yet profitable and close to breakeven, but this is quite a small feat for a company that generates $128 million in gross profit and is growing revenue at more than 50% year over year.
It does not come without risks, but The Real Brokerage looks like a potential huge stock winner for those who buy shares today.

HII Summer Interns Research Top Use Cases for AI, Present Findings to Company Leadership
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII's (NYSE: HII) summer interns are collaborating on a research project designed to investigate the top use cases for artificial intelligence in HII's corporate office. 'Internships are an invaluable way of developing the next generation of leaders to help shape the future of our company and the shipbuilding industry,' said Edmond Hughes, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at HII. 'At a time when there is a generational increase in demand for ships, manufacturing labor challenges and rising wages in the industry, we need to seriously focus on attracting the brightest and best that can solve the challenges of today and tomorrow.' This cohort-led project by HII corporate office interns explores how AI can enhance current processes at the company's headquarters. The intern team conducted research and interviews, developed surveys, and worked across departments to reach their conclusions and develop a comprehensive presentation for senior leadership. 'This experience has been an incredible opportunity to apply what I've learned at school to a real world setting,' said Courtney Cruce, a HII intern and rising senior at Virginia Tech. 'Researching AI has proved to be challenging but very rewarding.' Photos accompanying this release are available at: HII offers summer internship opportunities with the HII corporate office and all three HII divisions: Ingalls Shipbuilding, Mission Technologies and Newport News Shipbuilding. Summer interns work full-time (40 hours a week) for 10 consecutive weeks and are able to gain invaluable experience that prepares them with the skills and knowledge needed to start a rewarding career serving national defense. 'To attract the best we know it is key to offer interns competitive pay, and in select locations provide those we can with housing assistance,' Hughes said. 'The more assistance we can provide enables a larger pool of interns we can attract. It's a win-win.' HII will start accepting applications for 2026 summer internships this fall.

On the map: Canada's first ‘supertall' building adds to suite count amid project review
When sales of condo units in The One were halted in 2023, less than a quarter of the troubled downtown megaproject remained unsold. Now that the 85-storey mixed-use building has officially become Canada's first supertall skyscraper by surpassing 300 metres in height, that number has risen to about one-third. Article content That isn't because any sales agreements have been rescinded. Rather, it's because Tridel has increased the total number of units from 416 to 476 after taking over from Mizrahi Developments as developer, builder and sales manager of the rebranded One Bloor West in May 2025. Originally launched as The One in 2016, construction of the tower has been hampered by various delays and financial complications that led to it being placed in receivership in October 2023. As of early July, Tridel had not set a date for restarting sales. Article content 'As part of the transition plan for this community, we've been conducting feasibility and efficiency studies so we can see how to best optimize the project to completion,' explains Tridel president and CEO Jim Ritchie. 'Part of this included identifying opportunities to reconfigure and improve the layouts of suites in some areas of the tower, and supporting a greater mix of suite types. This has raised the total suite count of One Bloor West from its original design.' Article content As was the case with The One, the 308.6-metre tower will still be home to a luxury hotel and extensive retail in one of the city's most prominent and transit-connected locations. 'World-class retailers' are currently being selected to occupy the building's six-level commercial podium, Ritchie says. The same goes for the new 'five-star hotel' that will occupy several floors between the podium and the condo units. (The previous intended occupant, ANDAZ, a luxury boutique hotel brand under Hyatt Hotels, bowed out in 2024.) Article content Article content Article content The residential side of One Bloor West is being redesigned 'with a clear understanding that today's buyers are looking for efficient layouts, quality finishes and access to amenities that genuinely enhance daily life,' Ritchie says. 'The market may be facing an adjustment, but the fundamentals haven't changed. People still want well-located, well-designed homes that offer long-term livability and support their lifestyle.' Article content While Tridel has stated that revised suite designs and updated finishes will be announced upon completion of the review, it has already outlined key components of One Bloor West's residential offering. These include fitness and wellness facilities, indoor and outdoor lounges, concierge services, dedicated residential access points separate from commercial and hotel components, and outdoor amenity terraces. Article content Given that 300 units have already been purchased, it is unlikely that unit features and finishes, as well as communal building amenities, will change markedly from what was slated for The One. Open-concept layouts will almost certainly predominate given that the building's hybrid structural exoskeleton minimizes interior obstructions. Suite owners who bought through Mizrahi were enticed by features such as nine- and 10-foot ceilings, custom built-in benches next to exterior glass walls, marble and stone countertops and backsplashes, and frameless glass-enclosed showers, and there's no reason to think much of that will change. The tower's location above the Bloor-Yonge interchange will undoubtedly facilitate direct access to both Line 1 and 2 of the Toronto subway system, while most of the Mizrahi-designed amenities — such as a concierge-staffed lobby, underground valet parking, an elevated garden terrace, a fitness centre, and various club rooms and event spaces — align with Tridel's component outline.
