reAlpha Tech Corp., a Nasdaq-listed real estate technology company, is rolling out a national recruitment program aimed at experienced mortgage loan officers, offering performance-linked restricted stock units as part of a broader effort to scale its mortgage operations across the US.

The initiative, announced Monday, is being led by reAlpha Mortgage, the company’s lending division. It targets high-producing residential loan officers and ties equity incentives to verified production history, continued employment, and multi-year vesting schedules under the company’s existing equity incentive plan.

Management is positioning the program as a structural reset of how loan officers are recruited and onboarded. Rather than relying on signing bonuses or short-term guarantees, the company is emphasizing long-term equity participation, standardized onboarding, and internal operational support designed to reduce administrative overhead.

Eligible loan officers may receive RSUs in reAlpha common stock that vest over four years, subject to employment and performance conditions. The company said the incentives are intended to align originator output with shareholder value creation, an approach more common in technology companies than in traditional mortgage platforms.

reAlpha Mortgage is pairing the equity component with internal lead sources, centralized training including VA lending support, and proprietary AI-driven tools. These include an internal AI Loan Officer Assistant for document and task workflows, and an AI-powered engagement system focused on lead qualification and follow-up. Management argues these tools allow originators to spend more time on borrower interaction and less on operational friction.

Jamie Cavanaugh, chief executive officer of reAlpha Mortgage, said the strategy reflects feedback from experienced originators who are increasingly resistant to conventional recruiting pitches. He framed the initiative as an attempt to remove complexity from the loan production process while offering qualified officers exposure to equity in a publicly traded technology company.

The recruitment program supports reAlpha’s broader push to build a national mortgage infrastructure as it expands across licensed markets heading into 2026. The company has been pursuing a vertically integrated model that combines brokerage, mortgage, and title services, supported by in-house AI systems and an acquisition-driven growth strategy.

reAlpha said additional details about the program and application process are available through its mortgage hiring platform.
