The Real Brokerage’s operations in Manitoba will be led by Susan Auch, a five-time Olympian and three-time Olympic speed skating medalist who joined Real from eXp in April. Auch brings more than 20 years of real estate experience.

“Manitoba offers its residents a strong economy, some of the most affordable home prices in Canada and a diverse mix of urban and rural settings, making it an attractive place to call home,” said Real Chairman and CEO Tamir Poleg. “We are thrilled to begin operating in Manitoba with some of the area’s leading professionals. Susan, Jesse Peters, Addison Herosian, Dale and Nigel Nolin and the agents they have brought with them provide a strong foundation from which to launch Real’s unique agent-centric model and attractive value proposition in Manitoba.”

Auch said, “Realtors are constantly on the go and a virtual brokerage like The Real Brokerage is just the thing they need to save time and money to focus on what they do best, serving clients in selling and buying real estate. I am so excited that Real is opening in Manitoba.”

Led by Jesse Peters and Addison Herosian, the Peters Herosian Group joins Real from RE/MAX Executives in Winnipeg, where they ranked as one of the brokerage’s top performing teams in Canada. Known as Social Savvy^® Realtor^TM for his use of social media and video to market his clients’ properties and raise the bar among real estate professionals, Peters began his real estate career in 2012 and has ranked among the Top 1% of agents in Manitoba for a number of years. He is also a RE/MAX multi-Diamond Award winner and was recently awarded RE/MAX Hall of Fame status. Herosian began his real estate career with real estate investment properties in 2015, and joined Peters in 2017 to form the Peters Herosian Group. They have closed more than 700 real estate transactions valued at over $234 million since 2017.

“It was important to align ourselves with a brand that shares our core values. Real’s value of ‘Word Hard. Be Kind’ is how we approach our business, and its culture of collaboration will allow us to serve our clients better,” Peters said. “It’s also very exciting to help bring Real to Manitoba. It’s not often you have an opportunity to be on the ground floor and launch something new. We have that opportunity.”

​​Founded by the father-son team of Dale and Nigel Nolin in 2014, the Nolin Group brings a total of 10 agents to Real and will serve the Brandon and Winnipeg markets. Dale Nolin launched his real estate career in 2004 with Royal LePage, where he rose to the level of Director’s Platinum. Nigel Nolin has built a reputation for helping real estate agents double their sales within 12 months through coaching, marketing strategy and high-performance lead generation and nurturing. The team joins from 3 Percent Realty, where they consistently ranked among the region’s top producers having closed more than 400 real estate transactions valued at over $100 million a year since 2020.

“Our focus has always been to provide our clients with a value-driven real estate experience. This extends beyond just saving them money to providing pre-eminent customer service in an honest and ethical way, which in turn generates consistent referral business,” Dale Nolin said.

“Real's focus on technology to increase efficiencies along with its culture of collaboration and commitment will ensure that our agents have the opportunity to continue developing a loyal client base, which will help them build long-term wealth. We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to our team and are excited to help grow the Real brand in Canada.”
