BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp Realty^®, “the most agent-centric real estate brokerage on the planet™” and the core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), today announced the launch of its Boost program, designed to financially incentivize qualifying independent teams and brokerages to join eXp Realty.

As part of this program, eXp Realty will provide financial incentives to independent teams and brokerages that are culturally aligned, have more than 50 agents and a minimum of $100 million (US/CAN) in sales volume in the originating country over the previous 12-month fiscal period. International qualifications to be released. Additional qualifications apply. Cannot be affiliated with any non-independent franchise.

“We’re laser-focused on attracting and retaining the best agents in the business,” said Glenn Sanford, founder and CEO of eXp Realty. “Boost aligns the interests of independent teams and brokerages with eXp Realty through a shared commitment to our values, culture and growth goals. Our platform is designed to help individual agents and teams thrive. We understand the pressures that down markets place on independent teams and brokerages, and this program is intended to alleviate that stress and streamline the transition process.”

To ease any potential financial barriers to entry, Boost provides an incentive model that simplifies a move to eXp Realty. Once onboarded, the new brokerage can immediately begin reaping the benefits of joining eXp Realty, including stock equity, no overhead costs, no brokerage risk or liability, brokerage support and operations, agent support and services, revenue share opportunities and much more.

“eXp Realty is here to help you boost your business with financial incentives while transitioning to our ecosystem,” explained Michael Valdes, Chief Growth Officer, eXp Realty. “Our aligned compensation model, where agents are rewarded for both production and contributions to eXp’s growth, brings more value than ever before.”

Leo Pareja, eXp Realty Chief Strategy Officer, continued, “We are always challenging the status quo, especially when it comes to how we support our agents.
