Metro East Illinois + Greater St. Louis

Buy with more money in your pocket. Sell for more than the home next door.

You came here for one of three reasons. You want to buy without overpaying, sell for the most the market will pay, or build a real estate business on a machine that already runs. Pick your path below and we point you straight at it.

For buyers

Buying a home is offense. We play it that way.

Most buyers shop the listings everyone shops, then overpay to win and call it a deal. Our buyers get a negotiator who finds leverage, captures seller money, and protects them from the shortcuts that cost more later.

Seller money back

$18,163

Average below-list savings on our buyers’ below-list closings. The team has put $6.31M back in buyer pockets across 728 closings (direct from MARIS).

Concessions captured

35.0%

Of our buyers walk away with seller concessions at closing, against about 30% across the market. That is roughly 17% more likely to leave with seller money in hand.

Wins without the gouge

44.9%

Of our buyer-side closings landed at or above list, nearly half, without waiving the inspection or appraisal protections that keep you safe.

👀

Access the public never sees

When our team takes a listing, we preview it to matched VIP buyers 3 to 7 days before the MLS. Our 6,000-buyer database is the distribution list. Honest expectation: a trickle, not a flood, and not in every price band.

⚖️

A negotiator, not a tour guide

We pull deed-level data that catches private sales the MLS never shows, filter comps below what a portal can see, and model offer strength before you write a number. We find leverage, not frenzy.

Become a VIP Buyer How we buy

For sellers

Get me the most money with the least headache.

Every seller is asking one question, so we answer it with a system instead of a promise. A written marketing machine runs on every listing, then we show you the numbers it produces.

Seller premium

110%

Our listings close at about 110% of their comp baseline, roughly $30,000 more on a $300,000 home (Keystone scorecard).

Premium added

$4.14M

Cumulative premium our sellers captured across 456 listings. The number is the sum of real closings, not an average dressed up.

Listings that close

97.7%

Of our core-lister listings close when sellers follow the system, against an 82% market rate (MARIS, n=49,717, excludes Artemis).

📷

The Worry-Free launch, on every home

Showcase photography, drone, a novelist-written description, a dedicated landing page, a matched email to 6,000 buyers, and paid social, coordinated before the sign hits the yard. Included, never upsold.

📊

Priced accurately on day one

We build your price from live MARIS closings and current competition. Accurate pricing in the first 72 hours is why 19.8% of our listings close above their original list, and why the rest still sell.

Get My Home’s Real Value How we sell

Anyone can promise. We show the math.

Your buyer savings and your seller premium fall out of the same machine. One measurement system, built on live MARIS and ReZen data, with disclosed sample sizes and a written process. A competitor copies a tagline in an afternoon. None of them can copy a published methodology page that traces every figure to a query a licensed agent re-runs.

The engine

One auditable system

Day-one pricing, the Worry-Free launch, the 6,000-buyer database, and real negotiation. The same assets that earn a seller premium flip to offense for our buyers.

The proof

Numbers, dated and sourced

We label the source on every stat. MARIS measures execution quality. ReZen measures scale. We refresh the figures every 90 days, so the page never drifts.

The wedge

What we won’t claim

We don’t promise a premium on every home, a faster-than-market sale, or a luxury and new-construction specialty we can’t back. Read our methodology page and re-run the queries yourself.

We score our own marketing, and publish it.

MARIS lets us measure list-side execution against every other listing in the region. Here is how the Artemis machine reads on the 2024-and-later data, the same MLS feed Zillow runs on.

Showcase usage

76% of listings

More than three in four of our 2024+ listings carry a Zillow Showcase 3D tour, the placement Zillow reserves for a small slice of each market.

Photos per listing

38 vs ~21

We shoot nearly twice the regional norm, because the listings that win the first 72 hours are the ones buyers see fully before they call.

Description length

1,048 characters

A writer drafts your listing as a story, not a feature dump. Longer, narrative copy is what makes a buyer read to the end and drive over.

Marketing Investment Score

67.1 / 100

Roughly twice the regional median. The score tracks photo count, media depth, Showcase use, and description quality on each listing.

We sell homes in these towns because we live in them.

Our agents coach the teams, sponsor the events, and show up for the causes across Metro East Illinois and Greater St. Louis. The same neighborhoods we market are the ones we call home.

Local knowledge

The specialist who knows your town

We route every buyer and seller to the agent who works that market cold, from Edwardsville and O’Fallon to Chesterfield and St. Charles. Not whoever is up next.

Roots, not reach

Invested where we work

The teams, the schools, the local causes. Our agents put time and money back into the communities they serve, every year.

For agents

We build stars. We put your name on the win.

Most agents spend years and a fortune building leads, tools, and marketing from scratch. Our agents skip that. The machine already runs, so you work what shows up and the win carries your name, not the team leader’s. Real Broker gives you the platform. Artemis gives you the system.

What areas does the Artemis Team cover?

We cover most of Metro East Illinois and Greater St. Louis, including Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, Clinton, and the St. Louis and St. Charles county markets. Tell us where you want to buy or sell and we route you to the specialist who knows that area cold. For markets outside our footprint, we connect you with someone in our referral network.

Are you a buyer team or a seller team?

Both, because the same machine works both sides. The day-one pricing, the 6,000-buyer database, and the negotiation that earn a seller a premium are the same assets that find our buyers off-market homes and capture seller money on the buy side. One system, two outputs.

Who is the Artemis Team, and where does Real Broker fit in?

The Artemis Team is a group of agents at Real Broker, LLC, a publicly traded brokerage, serving Metro East Illinois and Greater St. Louis. We build the marketing system and the proprietary tools. Real Broker provides the brokerage platform and the national reach behind every transaction.

Where do the numbers on this page come from?

MARIS for execution quality and ReZen for scale, with the source labeled on each stat and sample sizes disclosed on our methodology page. We refresh every figure every 90 days so the page never drifts from the live data. Every team-level claim is one a licensed agent can re-run.

How do I get started?

Pick your path. Buyers become a VIP Buyer in about ninety seconds and a specialist opens their off-market access. Sellers start with a real home-value report built on live comps. Either way a real Artemis person follows up, never a call center, and there is no obligation.

Two paths. Pick yours.
