Bryan Bjerke
Founder & Sponsoring Broker, Spirit Real Estate Group
I built Spirit after spending eight years inside traditional brokerages — watching good agents lose half their commission to splits, fight to get paid, and wait days for a broker to call back. Spirit fixes every one of those pain points. You keep 100% of your commission, you get my personal cell, and I answer.
TREC rules, contracts, and ethics — every transaction, every time. No shortcuts, no gray areas.
A deal done well protects the agent, the client, and the brokerage. Speed never beats getting it right.
The story behind Spirit
Bryan started in Texas real estate in 2006, building a decade of hands-on experience as a residential agent and apartment locator across the DFW metroplex. Along the way, he worked under several traditional brokerages — and watched the same problems repeat.
Commission splits eating into agents' income. Invoicing falling through the cracks. Brokers who were impossible to reach. Agents treated like a number on a roster, not a professional running their own business.
In 2015, after eight years inside those brokerages, Bryan founded Spirit Real Estate Group with a simple goal: build the brokerage he wished he'd had. 100% commission. Real broker access. Every back-office headache handled — so agents can focus on clients, not paperwork.
Today, Spirit sponsors Realtors, apartment locators, commercial agents, LLC entities, and team leaders across Texas — DFW, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and beyond.
A brokerage should work for the agent — not the other way around.
Flat $99/mo. No commission splits, ever. Annual option saves you another $189/year.
Spirit invoices and collects every commission. You don't chase property managers — we do.
You get my personal cell number at sign-up. Texts and calls returned within 1 business day, always.
CRM, email, E&O insurance, payroll on the 1st & 15th, vendor compliance — included.
A note on faith and family
I'm a devout Christian, married, with five children. My faith isn't a sales pitch — it's the foundation I run this business from. It's why I treat every agent the way I'd want a broker to treat me, and why I'd rather lose a deal than cut a corner.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord."
"Not to us, O Lord, but to your name be the glory."
You'll always reach a real broker. Usually within 1 business day.
Every Spirit agent gets my personal cell number at sign-up. Call, text, email — whatever works for you. That's not a marketing line. It's how I've run this brokerage since day one.
