In a crowded industry, the Qamar Group succeeds through volume, velocity and vision. After joining REAL Broker in 2024, the team rose to national prominence, becoming the largest REAL team in the Midwest and ranking among the top 20 teams nationwide. With just 25 agents, the team is on track to close $150 million in sales this year, backed by over $750 million in lifetime volume, more than 2,500 transactions and nearly 1,000 verified five-star reviews.

Founded by Rafay Qamar and Jana Pierce, the Qamar Group blends precision, hustle and heart. Featuring agents fluent in over 13 languages, the team maintains an unwavering commitment to serving first-time buyers, luxury clients and institutional investors. “We’re not here for transactions,” insists Daniel Manosalvas, senior agent. “We’re here to change lives through strategy, honesty and execution.”

The Qamar Group’s mission is deeply personal. “Most people who want to become homeowners could — if they’re willing to be coached and mentored through the process,” explains Noah Robinson, senior agent. Partner Steve Davis, a relentless advocate for first-time buyers, emphasizes the team’s long-term impact: “From day one to well after closing, we stay in our clients’ corner.”

The team’s culture forms the backbone of its success. Pierce shares that the Qamar Group was built on “loyalty, grit and love,” describing these elements as “our foundation and our edge.”

The Qamar Group has earned Top Producer honors from the Chicago Association of Realtors and the North Shore-Barrington Association of Realtors, as well as national recognition from REAL Broker and The Wall Street Journal. In 2025, the team plans to launch new verticals in mortgage, insurance and property management — creating a one-stop real estate ecosystem for clients, agents and partners.

“We don’t just close deals,” Qamar says. “We build billion-dollar legacies — and we’re just getting started.”
