Who is Optimum
Optimum Realty was founded in 2018 by Aaron Habicht (licensed since 2004) on a conviction the franchise model keeps disproving: agents don't need a tower, a bullpen, or a national brand tax to run a serious business. They need low overhead, modern tools, real leads, and a broker who answers the phone. We built the brokerage mobile-first and 100% locally owned — no franchise fees flowing out of province, no desk-fee real estate to subsidize — and passed the difference to our agents and their clients.
What's Included
- Broker Access — 22+ years licensed in Regina; when you call with a deal problem, questions, or even just to chat or vent, you get Aaron!
- Quick Start — Aaron handles all transfer documents and designs and orders your signs, business cards, and more, to make the move fast and smooth.
- Cloud-Based Brokerage — fully paperless; work from anywhere with no mandatory office time.
- Proprietary CRM — built in-house for how Regina agents actually work: contacts, deals, FINTRAC handling, and compliant client communication in one place.
- Secure Proprietary Document Portal — built by Optimum Realty for Optimum agents: your files, organized and accessible from any device.
- Your Own Website — professionally structured with your bio, your listings feed, your reviews, and SEO markup, maintained at brokerage expense. Direct leads from it are 100% yours.
- Leads and Growth Support — we help you build your business, without micromanaging how you run it.
- Listing Startup Package — 3 For Sale signs, business cards for life at Optimum Realty, and free access to the tools and systems above. Open houses? We can put a package together for that too!
Who this fits — and who it doesn't
A good fit if you:
- Already produce and are tired of watching splits eat your income
- Run your own schedule and don't need an office to feel like an agent
- Want a broker who answers the phone, not a leadership funnel
- Prefer a small roster where you're a colleague, not a headcount
Probably not a fit if you:
- Want daily in-office structure and floor time
- Are looking for a brokerage to hand you a full-time salary
- Want to build income by recruiting other agents
One thing we don't do
There is no downline here. Nobody will ask you to recruit other agents, attend rah-rah sessions, or build a “revenue share organization.” You sell real estate; the brokerage supports you. That's the whole relationship.
Why agents moved here
“Aaron is a very available broker, always there to answer questions and more affordable than my previous brokerage.”
— Kim Windrum, Optimum Realty agent since 2021“To be blunt, a combination of the ease of the cloud brokerage model and I'm saving about $10 to $12 grand a year over my last brokerage.”
— Gordie Chan, Optimum Realty agent since 2019Questions agents actually ask
A flat fee — not a percentage split. Both fee structures are laid out in full, line by line, on our Introduction to Optimum page for agents — monthly fee, deal fees, caps, and what's included, with nothing held back. Then bring your last brokerage statement and we'll do the comparison together.
No. None. Your income here comes from selling real estate, full stop. If another agent joins because you recommended us, great — but nothing about your compensation depends on it and nobody will ever pressure you to recruit.
Everything runs digitally: transactions, conveyancing, document storage, and client management through our own CRM and secure portal. You work wherever you work best — home office, car, cabin. Deal support and broker guidance happen by phone, text, and video, usually faster than walking down an office hallway ever was.
Simpler than most agents expect: a licence transfer through the SRA, moving your active listings and pending deals (we'll walk through each one with you so nothing is disrupted), and getting you set up on our systems — typically all inside a few days. Start with a confidential conversation; nobody will know you're looking.
Start a confidential conversation
No pressure, no pitch deck, and complete discretion — broker-to-agent. Tell us a bit about your business and Aaron will reach out personally.
Proudly serving Regina, SK & surrounding area.
