Neema Bardi, Youngest Real Estate Broker in CA History
Neema’s journey to becoming a Broker started early on, as a kid addicted to Legos. He built the White House, the Empire State Building, and even the Taj Mahal. When he turned 10, he started visiting Open Houses with his parents on the weekends. By 18, he was immersed in the world of entrepreneurship, launching his first business: electric scooter charging at the height of the micro-mobility bubble. Another was a mobile coffee cart company, that served $8 Lattes and Americanos to college students on the USC campus before $8 coffees were cool. Perhaps most successful, was a commercial real estate syndication for fast-food companies like Burger King and Starbucks that needed drive-through accessible locations.
While at USC, Neema studied Real Estate Development. Upon graduation, he became a licensed realtor and started working for Rodeo Realty, one of the premier real estate brokerage firms in LA (the firm has about 1200 agents and does $5B+ in annual sales). After breaking the record for the number of deals closed by the first-time agent, and realizing that the 70-30 commission split was not in his best interests, he decided to go out on his own. He reached out to The California Department of Real Estate, with a request to take the brokerage exam (most agents are required to work 2+ years before applying to take the exam). They granted his request, and he passed the exam, subsequently becoming one of the youngest Real Estate Brokers in CA history.
Within a few weeks, he launched Atllas, a tech-focused real estate brokerage built by agents, for agents. Atllas provides a unique payout structure that enables real estate agents to retain all their commissions. It also provides a suite of tools purpose-built for streamlining an agent's marketing efforts, online presence, and open houses. Since its inception, the Beverly Hills-based platform has attracted more than 10,000 agents from all over the country. Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to hear firsthand what happens when someone is bold and brave enough to pursue their personal legend.
