As part of the REaKTOR portfolio, we are proud to celebrate the recent milestone achieved by VroomBrick, an innovative real estate platform simplifying homeownership across Hampton Roads. VroomBrick has reached a significant point in its journey to positively impact both the real estate industry and our local community. We are thrilled to announce that VroomBrick has recently obtained its Virginia Values Veterans (V3) certification, further strengthening its commitment to hiring and supporting those who have served our country.
The V3 certification, awarded by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, recognizes organizations that prioritize employing veterans and creating opportunities for those who have bravely served. For VroomBrick, a company founded by Navy veteran Leland Remias, achieving this certification is much more than a procedural accolade—it’s a personal mission to support and empower fellow veterans as they transition back into civilian life. The certification reflects VroomBrick’s core values of integrity, transparency, and community.
As a technology-driven real estate platform, VroomBrick is reimagining the traditional process of buying and selling homes by reducing fees, eliminating the need for middlemen, and providing a streamlined, user-friendly experience. Leland Remias, who knows firsthand the challenges that veterans face during relocation and transitioning into civilian roles, is leveraging his military background to make real estate more accessible and to create a supportive work environment for veterans.
“Obtaining the V3 certification is an incredible honor,” Remias stated. “We are dedicated to giving back to those who have given so much for our country. Veterans bring a unique skill set, discipline, and work ethic that align perfectly with our mission at VroomBrick, and this certification reinforces our dedication to providing them with meaningful career opportunities.”
With this certification, VroomBrick is committed to hiring, training, and supporting veterans within the company—ensuring that those who served are given opportunities to build fulfilling careers beyond their military service. This aligns with their broader goal of building a culture rooted in inclusivity, support, and community engagement in Hampton Roads. The V3 certification also complements their ongoing efforts to democratize the real estate market, making home buying and selling more affordable and accessible to everyone, including veterans and their families.
VroomBrick’s journey from winning the Start Peninsula 2024 Micro Pitch competition to obtaining V3 certification shows the company’s determination to make a real difference—not just in the real estate sector but in the lives of the community members it serves. By actively welcoming veterans into their workforce and cultivating a culture of support, VroomBrick is taking an important step toward shaping the future of innovation and entrepreneurship in Hampton Roads.
As a proud member of the REaKTOR portfolio, VroomBrick exemplifies the type of visionary company we support—one that is making a lasting impact on our community and leading the way for others to follow.
