On today’s episode of RealTrending, we talk to the newly appointed CEO of eXp Realty, Leo Pareja. He has over two decades of real estate and entrepreneurial experience, and it was just announced last month that Leo was to move from his role as Chief Strategy Officer into the role of CEO, which was previously held by Glenn Sanford. Sanford moves to Chairman of eXp Holdings. In today’s conversation, Leo shares eXp’s plan for future growth, how they are educating agents on the terms of the NAR settlement and how technology at the company is evolving. He and Tracey talk about the importance of proper agent support systems, the challenges happening during the transition of compensation models, and how eXp is embracing generative technology to aid in long-term growth. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: There is a need for real estate agents to treat buyers and sellers as valued clients and provide full support throughout transactions. There is a paradigm shift in the real estate industry with compensation models and technology adoption, and the lack thereof. Embrace technology to stay ahead of industry trends, specifically the use of AI and generative language models to enhance processes. Collaboration among agents is more important than you realize, and there are real benefits of proximity to successful peers.
