Earlier today, eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) announced that the Tucson-based Marsee Wilhems Team, one of the premier real estate teams in the country, has joined the Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage®. The addition continues on eXp Realty’s recent trend of attracting top real estate professionals from across the country to its ranks. Within the last six weeks alone, the company has welcomed the Brent Gove Team, one of the top real estate teams in California; Darren James Real Estate Experts, which was ranked 51st in the nation by The Wall Street Journal in 2015; and the Eric Burch Real Estate Team, which is currently among the top two real estate groups in all of Arkansas.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates the continuing and growing appeal to the very top teams in the United States whose entrepreneurial leaders and members benefit from one low universal cap across all markets, a centralized and collaborative team meeting location that can be accessed from anywhere, and access to some of the top lead generating systems and programs in the industry, while building an ownership interest in the brokerage that they contribute to, own and help build,” Vikki Bartholomae, president of eXp Realty, stated in this morning’s update.
The accomplishments of the Marsee Wilhems team stack up favorably with the very best in the industry. In 2016, Wilhems earned the top spot in The Wall Street Journal’s real estate rankings for the State of Arizona, as well as the 16th spot on the national list. As the former owner of RE/MAX (NYSE: RMAX) Majestic, she and her team sold more than 4,000 homes in Greater Tucson while generating more than 600 new buyer leads monthly through innovative marketing efforts. In addition to establishing her position atop the Arizona real estate market, this performance also helped Wilhems become the only agent in Tucson to earn the official endorsement of Shark Tank investor and New York real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran.
“Our team has been fortunate to achieve market share and great success in Tucson over the years,” Wilhems noted in this morning’s news release. “We’ve invested a lot in our business, in our marketing and in our agents so this is a big move for us and we make it knowing that eXp Realty represents the best opportunity for us as a team and as individuals.”
As of November 15, eXp Realty had attracted a roster of more than 2,130 real estate professionals across 41 states, the District of Columbia and Alberta, Canada, marking an increase of more than 150 percent over the end of Q3 2015. The rapid growth of the company’s agent base has sparked similar financial growth, with EXPI reporting $15.7 million in total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, a year-over-year rise of 112 percent. This performance also garnered EXPI an upward revision to both near-term and long-term growth forecasts from independent research firm Fundamental Research Corp. (http://dtn.fm/MsH84).
