Agents join people, not platforms.
Stelo is built by the team behind The Paid Agent — seller outbound for listing agents across 47 states, with over $500M in sales volume generated for clients. Before asking you to move your license, you should know exactly who we are.
Brayden Benz
Founder
Brayden spent the last three years growing The Paid Agent — the outbound seller cold-calling operation behind the $500M+ above. He’s the systems mind at Stelo: technical, hands-on, and focused on systematizing every part of the real estate transaction — from the online and social presence that fills the pipeline to the AI back office that runs it.
Rick Ojeda
Designated Broker
Rick is coming up on four decades in real estate, with over $1B in personal sales volume. He’ll serve as Stelo’s designated broker — the oversight and compliance behind every founding agent’s business.
“After three years running outbound for listing agents at The Paid Agent, we kept seeing the same thing: great agents spending half their week on work that doesn’t close deals — and paying their brokerage for the privilege. So we’re building the brokerage we wished existed for them. One that handles the busywork, fills the calendar, and never asks you to recruit a downline to get ahead. The agents who join first are betting on us early, and we don’t take that lightly — founding agents get our best, first, for as long as they’re with us.”
