Realty Executives History – In 1965, Dale Rector founded Realty Executives International in Scottsdale, Arizona. Recognized as the first to champion the “100 percent commission” concept, Rector realized that the traditional type of real estate company was not working and he sought to change and improve the business of selling real estate.
Known to be an innovator and a soft-spoken champion of real estate professionals industry-wide, Rector’s 100 percent concept had emerged as an industry philosophy embraced by nearly one-quarter of all REALTORS® throughout the U.S.
Each year, sales volume and the number of associates have grown - proof of the concept’s wide acceptance and success. But Realty Executives rapid growth is no surprise. Give professional sales associates an environment where they can concentrate on what they love to do - sell, and they will get results.
Through Dale Rector's vision and dedication to his new concept, the real estate industry has experienced a major change—an alternative to traditional operations that have hindered the real estate profession for many years. Realty Executives has revolutionized the real estate industry by focusing on the needs of the real estate Executive.
Presidents Message – Our associates are considered to be “Executives” because they have the freedom to run their own business within the non-negotiable structure of corporate values and ethics. That’s the beauty of REALTY EXECUTIVES. Everything we do is ultimately focused on providing an environment to nurture the success of each associate, which in turn provides our clients with better counseling, more efficient marketing, better negotiating assistance, and ultimately a transaction of true excellence.
The Brokerage Support for your real estate Executive is world class. Each REALTOR® has technical help available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And, I might add, our Brokers do not compete with the Executives for business, but are simply there to help them help YOU succeed.

We are especially proud of our individual marketing assistance and our fabulous “Quarterly Events” for learning and networking with other REALTORS® enjoying the same freedom, support, and reputation that helps YOU.
