Real Leadership
Decades of Experience. A Team Built to Win.
Joe Ballarino founded Amerivest Realty in 1997 with a simple mission: put agents first. Over the next 27 years, he led the company with a people-first approach, empowering agents through support, trust, and fair compensation. That foundation helped Amerivest Realty grow into a respected national brand — and laid the groundwork for a top-performing 100% commission real estate team.
In October 2024, Joe made the strategic decision to bring Amerivest to Real Broker, aligning his team with a modern platform built on the same values. Today, the Amerivest Pro-Team is one of the Top 20 real estate teams in the U.S., giving agents access to elite-level collaboration, tools, and opportunity with no monthly fees.
Joe serves on Real’s Leadership Advisory Board — one of just 12 agents chosen to represent the company nationwide — and is part of the Florida Broker Team, supporting Real agents with compliance, training, and deal management.
“I’ve always believed in creating the kind of team I’d want to work for — one where agents are treated with respect, given real support, and offered a path to build wealth.”

What Agents Are Saying
Real stories. Real results. Real momentum.
“Real is a modern brokerage platform that finally feels aligned with how I want to do business — professional branding, transparent culture, and agent-first energy. It’s a refreshing shift from the old-school model.”
“Being part of the Amerivest Pro-Team means I’m not just working alone — I’m collaborating with one of the top-producing teams in the country. That gives me confidence and momentum every day.”
“It’s the best commission plan I’ve ever seen. I keep more of what I earn, hit my cap faster, and still get stock and rev share — just by doing what I’ve always done. It’s smart business.”
“Real’s tech blows everything else out of the water. From the AI assistant to the Real Wallet to mastermind events and training, I feel like I’m set up to grow — not just grind.”
“The fact that I can now be a mortgage broker too means I’m earning on both sides of the deal — while Real Title handles the closing. It’s a powerful way to build wealth inside the business I already love.”
