Glenn Sanford, CEO of eXp Realty, talks about converging technologies leading to meaningful change in everything, including the real estate brokerage. Swanepoel T3 Summit is the annual think tank for Real Estate Thought Leaders.
The Swanepoel TRENDS Report is widely accepted as the leading source of real estate strategic knowledge that not only tracks trends, but objectively monitors shifts in thinking, innovation, and new business opportunities.
eXp had the privilege and rare opportunity to present The New York Times Best Selling Author and real estate visionary Stefan Swanepoel in an exclusive live online event Wednesday, May 22, 2013.
Stefan is an international best-selling author of 20 books and a motivational speaker with over 700 presentations (500,000 people) for groups ranging from 100 to 10,000 people. With his British accent, passionate personality and abundant energy Stefan is an engaging, dynamic and entertaining presenter. Whether you are looking for intellectual or inspiring, Stefan’s talks are different and most certainly memorable.
Stefan’s books (business trends, business fables, leadership, real estate and technology) have appeared on numerous best seller lists including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Amazon.con, INC Magazine, 800CEORead, etc. He is widely acknowledged as the leading expert on real estate trends, has been listed as “One of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Real Estate” and has presented some 900 talks to over 600,000 people.
Last week I had an opportunity to go to the T3Summit in Las Vegas hosted by Stefan Swanepoel. It was an amazing event with some absolutely Amazing presenters.
The first Keynote was by a gentleman named Darren Hardy who is the Publisher of Success Magazine. To say he shifted my direction over the last week and a half would be an understatement, however I really give credit to Stefan in putting together a who’s who of the industry to help shape the direction of those who are leading real estate organizations into the future. Some of the individuals who we had an opportunity to listen to and learn from included the CEO of HomeServices of America, the CEO of Coldwell Banker and my personal favorite was Mark Willis, CEO of Keller Williams.
This last week I put in place a number of new habits which I intend use to stay on track with a number of goals which I think are important to our collective success.
I read the above quote this morning… It’s a Jim Rohn quote. I was led to Jim Rohn as there are a number of people who have quoted him over the years and sighted him as one of their mentors. Darren Hardy quotes him liberally in a audio book I’m currently listening to called, The Compound Effect.
The quote that resonated with me the most this morning is this:
Formal Education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. – Jim Rohn
I think the reality is that I personally believe we are all our own personal science experiments. We are pushing the buttons of life to see what happens. We also have self imposed pain tolerances… Those pain tolerances determine to some extent the amount of risk (emotionally, financially, spiritually) that we are willing endure to determine what is real for us, however the reality is that I think we all know that most of what “we desire” (we are goal seeking creatures – so we all desire something) lies just outside our comfort zone. Our comfort zone is for all intents and purposes defined by our education to this point of our life, whether formally or even informal (personal observations and experimentation’s)…
My personal opinion is that the most important self-education that any of us will work on is our Leadership Education… Keep in mind that Leadership is like riding a bike. Reading about Leadership won’t make you a leader just as reading about riding a bike won’t make you a great bike rider… However the business we are in IMHO is working on you (me in my case)… If you do you will attract the types of people who are looking for the leadership that you provide and your business will grow accordingly…

BELLINGHAM, WA – eXp Realty is pleased to announce that Kerry Thornhill is heading up the expansion and growth of eXp Realty in the state of Texas, with headquarters in Dallas.
“I saw an outstanding opportunity for Texas agents to get on the ground floor of a national brokerage that’s on the cutting edge of technology and change in our industry,” says Thornhill. “This will be the best decision that some real estate professionals will make in their careers.”
A broker in the DFW area since 2007, Thornhill first heard of eXp Realty through Suzanne Fuqua, eXp Arizona broker. While he was considering becoming a managing broker for North Texas, the opportunity came up to guide the state and Thornhill jumped at the chance.
A self-proclaimed techie, eXp Realty has proven to be a great fit. “I believe eXp’s cloud based brokerage model is the future of real estate,” says Thornhill. Recruiting for like-minded agents will begin in the Dallas area and then spread outward to other regions of the state, each having its own managing broker.

BELLINGHAM, WA – eXp is pleased to announce that it has partnered with HelloFax to bring its agents another effective, efficient way to do business in the cloud.
“Providing our real estate professionals with HelloFax gives them electronic fax and digital signature capability in one paperless solution to execute contracts with ease,” says Brian Culhane, Co-Founder and Chief Cultural Officer of eXp Realty.
With HelloFax, eXp agents never need to print, scan or hand-sign documents again. Contracts are simply uploaded from desktops or online locations, completed and sent to clients via email or fax – all within the easy-to-use HelloFax platform.
“eXp aims to be a completely paperless brokerage and HelloFax has helped become part of that system. It only makes sense in these days of technology not to have to print, sign and then either scan it back in or put a piece of paper into a fax machine. HelloFax will be the demise of the fax machine, may it rest in peace,” says Kirk Johnson, IT and SEO Manager for eXp Realty.
HelloFax is equally excited about the partnership. “eXp Realty is on the forefront of the virtual, paperless office,” says Joel Andren. “We have built our online faxing and eSignature tools for forward thinking offices like eXp.”
