The Story of the Black Sheep
How StepStone Realty became Black Sheep Broker — and why we built a home for agents who refuse to choose between traditional real estate and creative investing.
250+ professionals — not just agents, not just investors. Both.
The industry tells you to pick a lane. Be an agent OR an investor. Never both. We say that's the biggest lie in real estate.
Traditional brokerages prohibit wholesaling, wraps, and subject-to. You're forced to leave money on the table — or hide what you do.
Facebook groups full of strangers with no accountability. No ethics. No standards. Who are these people you're supposed to partner with?
Agent or investor. Licensed or free. The industry says you can't be both — and you're leaving your full potential on the table either way.
We built Black Sheep Broker because we knew there had to be a better way.
Sleazy investors vs. proper agents? That's not real. We're professionals through and through — and we're proving that real estate works better when you can do it all.
Every creative strategy — supported and supervised. Wholesale Monday, list a property Tuesday, close a subject-to Wednesday. Your license becomes a superpower, not a limitation.
CRM, deal tools, 50+ courses, Monday Motivation calls, and a community of 250+ agents doing creative deals every day. You're never figuring it out alone.
Not a Facebook group of strangers. 250+ licensed professionals who hold each other accountable, share real knowledge, and partner on real deals. This is a higher standard.
When you combine a license with investing knowledge, you become market-proof. You make more money. And you surround yourself with people who operate at a higher standard.

At a 70/30 brokerage, a $10,000 commission costs you $3,000. Here, it costs you $400.
That's $2,600 more per deal — straight to your pocket.
Same $10,000 commission. Completely different outcomes.

On 10 deals/year that's $28,350 back in your pocket
Everything you need to know about our straightforward fee structure.
No. $199/month and $400 per transaction — that's it. No desk fees, no transaction coordinator fees, no marketing fees, no E&O insurance surprises. What you see is exactly what you pay.
Yes, the $199/month covers your active license sponsorship plus access to everything: CE classes, Hub community, broker support, and creative deal guidance — regardless of your transaction volume. All the tools you need, even during slow months.
Creative deals (wholesaling, subject-to, wraps, fix & flip) follow the same flat $400 transaction fee. Whether it's a traditional listing or a creative investment deal, the fee is identical. No penalty for being creative with your business.
On a $10,000 commission, a typical 70/30 brokerage leaves you with about $6,870 after their split plus desk fees and E&O. With Black Sheep Broker you keep $9,600 — that's $2,600 more on a single deal. Do the math on your annual volume.
No long-term contracts. Your sponsorship is month-to-month. You can transfer your license out at any time — we don't trap you. We keep you because you want to stay, not because you're stuck.
You're not switching brokerages. You're upgrading to a new way of doing real estate.
"My income doubled in the first year. I went from splitting commissions to keeping everything — and I found a community I can actually trust."

Co-Founder & Operations
Broker · TREC #572467
Dan and Angie watched talented agents walk away from licensing because traditional brokerages told them they couldn't invest creatively. They watched investors avoid getting licensed because they were told brokers would trap them. Both were wrong.
So they built a brokerage where agents and investors are the same person — professionals who refuse to choose. Together, they've created a community of 250+ professionals who operate at a higher standard.
Angie leads the brokerage and educates agents on creative strategies. Dan runs operations and strategy. They built this for people like you.
Freedom without support is just chaos. Here's how we make sure you succeed — every week, every deal.
Weekly Zoom call. Agents share wins, strategies, and get real-time deal feedback from Angie. Every Monday, 9 AM CT. Recorded if you can't make it.
50+ video courses covering wholesale, subject-to, wraps, and traditional sales. Self-paced. Learn on your schedule.
Private forum where 250+ agents share deals, ask questions, and partner on projects.
Calculators, contract templates, CRM — everything in one place to manage your traditional and creative pipeline.
Our one big in-person event each year. Training, networking, deal-making with the full community. Everything else is remote.
It's not about switching brokerages. It's about joining a community of people who do real estate the way it should be done.
"I've never had a brokerage that actually understood creative deals — let alone encouraged them. The education and community here changed everything."
No pressure. No pitch. Just a conversation about your goals and whether this movement is right for you.
Pick a time that works for you. Choose between phone or Zoom — whatever you prefer.
