In this episode of the Zero BS Estate Agency Podcast, John Savage is joined by Felix Bravo, Managing Director of eXp International, for a deep, honest conversation about where estate agency is heading — and why the self-employed model is accelerating globally.

Felix shares a behind-the-scenes view of eXp's international growth, the realities of scaling across dozens of countries, and what truly separates high-performing agents from everyone else. This isn't theory or corporate spin — it's a grounded discussion based on what's actually working in real markets, right now.

What we cover in this episode:

• Why eXp's global growth isn't accidental
• Why the self-employed model is outperforming traditional agency structures
• What eXp is doing internationally that other models can't replicate
• The real challenges of expanding an agency business across borders
• What differentiates high-performing partners from average operators
• Why freedom works for some agents — and exposes others
• How technology and AI will reshape estate agency (without replacing great agents)
• Felix's view on what the next 5–10 years of estate agency will actually look like

Who this episode is for:

• Agents questioning the traditional employed model
• Self-employed agents looking to future-proof their business
• High-performers who want scale, leverage, and control
• Agents sitting on the fence and looking for clarity

If you're serious about building a long-term, resilient agency business — and you want insight from someone who sees the industry at a global level — this episode will challenge how you think about your next move.
