DUBLIN, Ohio, Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — reAlpha Tech Corp. (Nasdaq: AIRE) (“reAlpha” or the “Company”), an AI-powered real estate technology company, today announced that reAlpha Mortgage, its mortgage division, has launched a national Loan Officer Recruitment Program, which offers Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) awards to loan officers who join reAlpha. The program issues RSUs pursuant to the Company’s existing equity incentive plan (as amended, the “EIP”) and is designed to attract experienced, high-producing residential mortgage loan officers across the United States.
The program introduces a more consistent recruiting and onboarding framework and pairs performance-aligned incentives with operational support, intentionally designed to help Loan Officers spend less time navigating process and more time focused on production and borrowers.
Under the program, eligible originators with verified trailing twelve-month production may qualify for RSUs in reAlpha’s common stock, which vest over 4 years, are contingent on continued employment at reAlpha and subject to other conditions more fully described in the Company’s EIP and the applicable award agreements.
reAlpha Mortgage provides its Loan Officers with access to in-house lead sources, onboarding and product training (including specialized support for VA lending), and operational systems designed to reduce administrative friction. Loan officers also have access to reAlpha’s internal AI Loan Officer Assistant, which is designed to streamline document workflows and task organization, and the Company’s internal AI-powered Engagement Assistant, built to strengthen lead engagement, qualification, and follow-up so originators can focus on customer-facing activities.
“Loan officers don’t need another recruiting pitch: they need a platform that reduces the administrative load and respects the value of their contribution,” said Jamie Cavanaugh, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha Mortgage. “This program was built around what experienced originators consistently ask for: clarity, support, and fewer operational obstacles. reAlpha Mortgage is structured to offer eligible Loan Officers the opportunity to participate through an equity incentive program in a publicly traded technology company. When paired with internal leads, training, and AI-enabled tools, we’re focused on creating an environment where originators can spend more time with customers and less time managing complexity. We believe this program will accelerate our national mortgage buildout into 2026.”
The program aligns with reAlpha Mortgage’s broader objectives to strengthen its national infrastructure, support consistent onboarding practices, and reinforce operational readiness as the division continues to expand across its licensed markets.
