Welcome to the International eXpansion Podcast!

In this episode of the International eXpansion Podcast, join Glenn Sanford, Founder of eXp Realty, as he chats with Felix Bravo, Managing Director of eXp International, about scaling eXp across new markets and what it takes to lead global expansion in today’s real estate landscape.

Felix shares how he went from building his own Florida-based team to leading international growth at eXp—driven by the need for a platform that could support agents beyond local limitations. With firsthand insight into both the agent experience and operational complexity, he highlights why eXp’s model is so powerful for agents worldwide.

He reflects on the shared challenges agents face globally, the importance of shifting mindset from employed to entrepreneurial, and how eXp’s agent-centric model offers scalable, sustainable growth through ownership, equity, and collaboration. Felix also breaks down how eXp identifies new markets, supports local leadership, and builds early traction in franchise-dominated regions.

Today, Felix is focused on opening new countries, doubling eXp’s international agent count, and empowering local leaders to drive disruption through tech-forward, agent-first solutions. He calls eXp “a global platform built to solve the real pain points agents face”—and shares his BHAG: 10,000 agents and 10 new countries by the end of 2026.

Welcome to the International eXpansion Podcast!

In this episode of the International eXpansion Podcast, join Glenn Sanford, Founder of eXp Realty, as he chats with Adam Day, Regional Leader for EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa), about building one of eXp’s most dynamic global regions—from the ground up.

Adam shares how he launched eXp UK in 2019 as the company’s first international market, drawing from his background as a real estate entrepreneur and disruptor. With a deep understanding of both high-growth startups and traditional UK brokerage models, Adam explains how eXp’s agent-centric platform offered the infrastructure he needed to scale fast and challenge the status quo.

He reflects on key lessons learned from past ventures—including why low-commission models fail—and how personal brand, support systems, and cultural flexibility have fueled eXp’s rapid adoption across Europe and the Middle East. Adam also dives into what makes a strong country leader, the importance of retention through agent education, and why collaboration is the true engine behind global growth.

Today, Adam is focused on scaling eXp across the region by supporting local leaders, driving performance through agent-led training, and leveraging AI-native systems to simplify operations and multiply opportunity. He calls eXp “a platform for ownership”—where leaders, like agents, are empowered to build something that lasts.

Welcome to the International eXpansion Podcast!

In this episode of the International eXpansion Podcast, Glenn Sanford, Founder of eXp Realty, sits down with Virginia Restrepo, Regional Leader for CALA (Central and Latin America), to explore how eXp is transforming real estate across the region.

Virginia shares her journey from a marketing and sales background to becoming a top-performing agent and later a franchise owner—before making the leap to eXp. Starting as Country Leader for Chile and Colombia, she now leads and coaches leaders across Latin America, helping them adapt eXp’s innovative, agent-centric model to their local markets.

She discusses the unique challenges in CALA, including the lack of licensing, the need to professionalize the industry, and how eXp’s culture of ownership and education is empowering agents to build sustainable, scalable businesses. Virginia emphasizes that every country is different, and eXp’s success in the region is built on local adaptation paired with a global vision.

Today, Virginia is focused on expanding eXp’s footprint across Latin America by identifying strong leaders, supporting them with coaching and tools, and driving agent success through collaboration, training, and long-term vision. She credits eXp’s equity model and global network for unlocking new levels of opportunity—and says, with pride, “I’m the owner of eXp, just like Glenn.”

In this episode of the eXpansion Podcast, Glenn Sanford sits down with Lorraine Forés Garcés, a rising eXp Realty agent based in Puerto Rico, to explore her inspiring first-year journey in real estate. With a background in industrial engineering, Lorraine brings a process-driven approach to her business—strategically nurturing leads, leveraging metrics, and focusing on efficiency. She emphasizes how her engineering mindset has translated into success by helping her build scalable systems for client service and lead generation.

Lorraine discusses the unique real estate landscape in Puerto Rico, where most of her clients are U.S.-based buyers investing in the island. She’s built a strong referral pipeline and uses KVCore CRM and email marketing to stay top-of-mind. Though introverted by nature, Lorraine is intentionally pushing herself to embrace social media and plans to expand her digital presence in 2025.

A standout niche in her business is inheritance properties. By partnering with local attorneys and leveraging AI tools like Gamma.app, she creates professional, educational brochures to guide clients through complex situations.

Welcome to the International eXpansion Podcast!

In this episode of the Expansion Podcast, Glenn Sanford chats with Eli Torres about his journey from real estate in Texas and Florida to leading eXp Puerto Rico. Eli shares how eXp’s innovative model has enabled rapid growth on the island, bringing much-needed collaboration, standardization, and syndication to the market. He discusses the unique position of Puerto Rico’s real estate industry, balancing U.S. regulations with a more fragmented local structure, where most agents are not NAR members. Eli highlights how eXp’s partnership with MyStateMLS is a game-changer, allowing Puerto Rico-based agents to syndicate listings to Zillow and Realtor.com for the first time. He also dives into Lofty CRM, which will enhance lead generation and website functionality. Looking ahead, Eli focuses on expanding eXp Puerto Rico to 250 agents, strengthening training programs, and driving industry-wide collaboration.

Welcome to the International eXpansion Podcast!

In this episode of the International eXpansion Podcast, join Glenn Sanford as he chats with Raphael Agbandje about the evolution of the self-employed real estate model in the UK and why eXp Realty is transforming the industry. Rafael shares his 21-year journey, from corporate agencies to experimenting with self-employed models such as Purple Bricks and Keller Williams before finding success at eXp. He highlights the financial freedom and work-life balance that eXp’s model offers, contrasting it with the low-fee, high-volume approach of traditional firms. Initially, Rafael faced challenges generating leads independently, but eXp’s training and support helped him develop effective lead generation strategies, shifting from door-knocking to nurturing client referrals.
