The California real estate market has been anything but easy in 2025. Transactions are down, margins are squeezed, and many agents are struggling to keep their businesses afloat. But while most of the industry feels the pinch, a handful of forward-thinking California teams have pulled off something remarkable: year-over-year growth in a down market*.

What sets them apart? Each of these teams made the same strategic decision to partner with Radius, powering their operations with AI-driven technology and gaining full ownership of their brand. In return, they’ve experienced smoother backend operations, stronger client relationships, and measurable growth even with the market stacked against them.
