BELLINGHAM, Wash., April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp Realty®, the largest independent real estate brokerage in the world and a core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), today announced its official launch in Türkiye, marking its 26th international market and the company’s second global expansion in less than a month, following the successful launch of eXp Realty Peru in March. This rapid growth highlights eXp’s commitment to redefining the real estate industry through a scalable, agent-first model that meets the evolving needs of professionals worldwide.

“With every new country we launch, we’re proving that agents everywhere are ready for a better model — one that puts them first,” said Glenn Sanford, Founder, Chairman and CEO of eXp World Holdings. “Our entry into Türkiye, just weeks after launching in Peru, reflects our momentum and our mission: to deliver the most agent-centric brokerage on the planet. We’re expanding fast — not just for the sake of growth, but because agents around the world are demanding a better way to build their business.”

Türkiye’s strategic position between Europe and Asia, combined with its fast-growing real estate sector and entrepreneurial agent base, make it a strong match for eXp’s cloud-based, borderless business model — one built to empower agents with more flexibility, financial opportunity, and global connection.

At the forefront of eXp Türkiye is Yigit Portakal, a dynamic leader with deep market knowledge and one of the most influential voices in Türkiye’s real estate space. Known for his passion, community engagement, and agent-first mindset, Yigit is bringing eXp’s global platform to a nationwide audience that’s ready for change.

“This is a proud moment — not just for me, but for every agent in Türkiye who’s been waiting for a better way,” said Yigit Portakal, Country Leader of eXp Türkiye.

“eXp is built for agents who want more — more freedom, more support, more possibility. We’re bringing a model that empowers agents to grow, earn, and lead in their own careers. Türkiye is ready, and so is eXp.”
