eXp Realty Welcomes Its 1000th Agent

BELLINGHAM, WA--(Marketwired - March 02, 2016) -  eXp Realty International Corporation (OTCQB: EXPI) today announced that it officially welcomed its 1000th real estate professional into its family of agent-owners on Leap Day, February 29, 2016. The Company had 467 agents at the end of 2014 and approximately 650 agents last June.

The achievement positions the Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage among the top 50 real estate brokerages in the United States based on agent count in the context of data furnished by RISMEDIA in its 2015 PowerBroker 500 Report which contained 2014 agent count statistics for the top 500 brokerages in the country.

"We're humbled and honored by this achievement and the relatively short timeframe within which we've reached the 1000 agent number," said eXp Realty Founder and CEO, Glenn Sanford. "More than anything though, we're excited by the passion with which our agent-owners have embraced the concept of brokerage ownership, brand development, and business building, and the spirit with which they are sharing the eXp opportunity with other good professionals."

eXp Realty launched in October of 2009 with an aggressive revenue sharing program that pays agents a percentage of gross commission income earned by fellow real estate professionals whom they attract into the Company. In 2013 the Company transitioned into being a public company and in 2014 its initiative of sharing equity with its agents and brokers catapulted it to an accelerated rate of growth and retention.

eXp Realty is also one of if not the fastest growing real estate brokerages in a number of cities in the United States most notably Austin and San Antonio, Texas as well as Lafayette, LA and Atlanta, Georgia. Austin, San Antonio and Lafayette all opened in the last 12 months and have attracted some of the best and brightest in their prospective marketplaces. eXp Realty is also achieving net year over year agent growth in most of the markets it is operating in.
