Additionally, looking at how the company has leveraged technology to lower costs and enable its revenue sharing program, I believe this model is going to empower a new generation of real estate professionals and I am both proud and eager to be in business with these folks,” Frederick said.
eXp Realty President Jason Gesing stated, “In getting to know Gene since he first contacted us last November, we have come to understand and appreciate the level of his character and career achievements. With each program and every professional we introduce into the Company, we are mindful of whether or not the initiative or individual fits well within the eXp culture. I cannot imagine a better fit from a professional or personal perspective than Gene Frederick for the eXp family.”
Company CEO Glenn Sanford added, “While constructing the business plan for eXp Realty I was focused on developing what I thought the ideal brokerage had to look like in order for me to join if I were an agent. To attract and engage an industry leader of Gene’s caliber represents validation for the company and the infrastructure we continue to build. I am energized by the opportunity to know Gene and work with him for a very long time,” said Sanford.
Mr. Frederick concluded, “I know what it’s like to be part of a great organization in its earliest stages that is truly building the future of the industry. I am excited to participate again in that level of innovation.”
