Relive

What Relive does

Relive (legally Relive Real Estate Inc., d/b/a Relive Realty) is a technology-first residential real estate brokerage founded in 2020 in Portugal by Jose Costa Rodrigues and Henrique Brás, with U.S. operations launched in 2022 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company operates a dual-sided model: it recruits and supports independent licensed real estate agents (600+ as of 2025) through a competitive compensation structure and in-house tooling, while serving end consumers (renters, buyers, sellers) through brokerage services across 8 U.S. metros (Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Miami, San Antonio). Cumulatively, Relive has helped more than 7,000 clients and holds a 5.0 average across 1,500+ Google reviews.

The platform's technology stack centers on an in-house mobile application, an AI-powered CRM, and an AI-driven property search tool that curates personalized listings against buyer criteria using real-time market data. The firm also operates a training program (Relive Academy) and a content initiative ('Home in America') that has reached 5+ million people on Instagram and TikTok, leveraging individual agent social media presence as its primary distribution channel. Website infrastructure relies on Squarespace hosting with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google AdSense, Facebook Advertising, and DoubleClick integrations.

Relive generates revenue through three transaction-based streams: commission splits on home sales and purchases (agents start at 70/30 and reach 100% after $15K in quarterly commissions, minus a small fee); commissions paid by apartment complexes to Relive agents on signed leases (enabling free renter service); and a 10% passive revenue share for agents who refer new recruits. The company has raised approximately $6.78M across three rounds, most recently a $5.5M Series A in February 2025 led by Indico Capital Partners, with proceeds earmarked for team expansion and geographic growth beyond Texas into additional U.S. states.
