“We are excited, not only by our growth, but by the quality of agents that are being attracted to eXp Realty. Increasingly throughout the year, eXp Realty has become the brokerage of choice for top producing agents and teams, and for brokerage owners looking to increase profits, achieve scalable growth, and deliver the opportunity of ownership to the agents in their organization,” said eXp Realty CEO, Jason Gesing. “Our agents are entrepreneurial, high-achieving professionals who recognize agent ownership as a fundamental shift in the relationship between the agent and the brokerage. The Company is excited about its current growth trajectory and is committed to continuing to offer a value proposition that is so compelling that it would be professionally irresponsible for a real estate professional to affiliate elsewhere.”

The announcement follows the company’s Annual Convention which was held in San Antonio Texas and was attended by almost 1/3rd of the agents and brokers licensed with the company at the time.

Russ Cofano, President of eXp World Holdings stated, “The growth of eXp Realty matches up well with the virtuous cycle of Learn, Sell, Earn and Own and the “Power of We.” By synergistically aligning the goals of our agents and brokers through this virtuous cycle, together with the unique agent ownership structure that eXp Realty provides, we have uncovered a total value proposition which resonates with real estate professionals but to date, no firm had figured out how to implement. Our growth numbers clearly indicate that we have hit a sweet spot in the industry.”

Learn, Sell, Earn, Own
