Earlier today, eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI), through subsidiary eXp Realty, announced the addition of the Brent Gove team, a leading real estate team operating in California, to its family of agents and brokers. Gove brings nearly two decades of industry experience to the Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage™. During this time, he earned a spot as one of the 11 most successful agents in the global RE/MAX (NYSE: RMAX) network, completing 429 transactions accounting for about $169 million in sales volume in 2005 alone. Gove then moved to Keller Williams Realty, where he served as CEO and team leader of the company’s most profitable market center in 2010. Despite only switching brokerages once throughout his extensive career in the real estate industry, Gove pointed to the tremendous value proposition offered by eXp Realty as a key driver in his decision to make the jump to EXPI.
“Everyone on my team is excited about the opportunity to become an owner of eXp World Holdings and to be part of a community of agent-owners working closely together with systems and infrastructure that will allow us to continue to grow both as a team and as professionals — building relationships and organizations that span across borders,” Gove stated in this morning’s news release. “eXp Realty represents the best opportunity for us as a team and as individuals.”
The addition of the Brent Gove team to the eXp Realty family continues to build on what has been an eventful October for the company. Just last Friday, EXPI announced the addition of Miguel Herrera, the top international luxury agent in South Texas, to eXp Realty. In the news release, Herrera hailed the eXp Realty business model as “the strongest in the industry.” According to an update issued last week, the company’s real estate brokerage division currently boasts a family of agents and brokers that includes more than 1,900 members across 41 high-demand markets in the United States and Canada. This marks an increase of about 120 percent from the beginning of 2016.
“We are excited, not only by our growth, but by the quality of agents that are being attracted to eXp Realty,” Jason Gesing, chief executive officer of eXp Realty, stated in a recent news release. “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.”
These growth milestones come on the heels of EXPI’s third annual real estate convention, which took place from October 5-7 in San Antonio, Texas. The company reports that nearly one-third of the agents and brokers licensed with eXp Realty at the time of the event were in attendance, representing more than a threefold increase from the previous year’s convention and marking the first time that the company has sold out one of its major annual events. Russ Cafano, president of EXPI, summed up eXp Realty’s recent performance in a news release.
“[W]e have uncovered a total value proposition which resonates with real estate professionals but to date, no firm had figured out how to implement,” he stated. “Our growth numbers clearly indicate that we have hit a sweet spot in the industry.”
