Independent Real Estate Brokers
An independent Hayward brokerage for home sales, commercial property and property management.
Acerca de
Independent Real Estate Brokers, trading as IREB Group, is a brokerage at 860 East Lewelling Boulevard in Hayward, on the boulevard that links the San Lorenzo neighbourhoods with I-880 and Hesperian Boulevard. Bob Munoz, the chamber's contact, is listed as owner. The firm says it has been serving California since 1979 and was incorporated in 1989, and it makes its independence the selling point: no franchise rules, so it can adjust quickly when the market shifts.
Scope of work
The brokerage handles residential sales for buyers and sellers, commercial and investment property, and property management for owners who would rather not deal with tenants directly. It also states that it helps clients with financing and relocation, which for a first-time buyer in Hayward means an introduction to lenders and a walk through the pre-approval step before the house hunt begins.
Its motto is "People helping People", and it lists experience, knowledge and integrity as its values. A separate toll-free line serves callers outside the East Bay.
Working with a broker here
Before you sign a representation or listing agreement, ask which agent will handle your file day to day, how long the agreement runs and how you can end it, what the commission split is and whether it is negotiable, and how many transactions the agent closed in the past year in your target area. Sellers should ask for a written pricing rationale with comparable sales. Landlords considering property management should ask for the fee schedule, the tenant-screening process and how repairs are authorised and billed. You can look up any agent's licence number with the California Department of Real Estate.

Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and Castro Valley are the home turf, with Union City, Fremont, Newark and Oakland covered across Alameda County.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioHow do I check a real estate agent's licence?
Every California agent and broker has a licence number searchable on the Department of Real Estate website, which shows status, the responsible broker and any disciplinary history. Ask for the number and look it up.
Is the commission negotiable?
Yes. Commissions are set by agreement, not by law, and since 2024 buyers sign their own representation agreement stating what they pay. Ask what the rate is, what it covers and how it is split before you sign anything.
What does a property manager charge?
Most managers charge a percentage of monthly rent plus a leasing fee when a unit turns over, sometimes with markups on repairs. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing and how maintenance spending is approved.
How long does a listing agreement last?
Commonly three to six months. Ask how it ends if you are unhappy, whether a protection period applies to buyers introduced during the term, and what marketing the broker commits to in return.
