Owner, Realty of America (ROA)

Garcia rose from humble beginnings to build Chicago’s 11th largest real estate company—only to make a bold move, shutting it down to launch Realty of America (ROA). In just eight months, ROA has become one of the fastest-growing brokerages in the country, onboarding 2,000+ agents, opening in 17 states, closing $1.3 billion in sales, and paying out $1.6 million in revenue share. This explosive growth is a testament to ROA’s vision and commitment to its agents. ROA is on pace to surpass 4,000 agents in its first year – and the momentum is only accelerating. But Eddie’s mission goes far beyond real estate— he’s determined to create 1,000 millionaires before he retires.
