With the addition of these new markets, eXp Realty will expand its global presence to 27 countries

BELLINGHAM, Wash., Oct. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - eXp Realty®, the largest independent global real estate brokerage on the planet and a core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), is thrilled to announce its expansion into three vibrant markets — Türkiye, Peru, and Egypt, set for 2025. In a bold move to strengthen its global footprint, eXp Realty is bringing its agent-centric model and innovative cloud-based platform to some of the world's most dynamic real estate markets.

Once this expansion is complete, eXp Realty will operate in 27 countries, empowering thousands of agents across the globe with its unique value propositions. The model is designed for success in both residential and commercial real estate, and underscores eXp's unwavering commitment to equip its agents with the tools and platform they need to thrive in real estate's evolving landscape.

“Our expansion into Türkiye, Peru, and Egypt is a testament to our relentless drive for innovation and our commitment to empowering agents around the world,” said Glenn Sanford, Founder and CEO of eXp World Holdings. “These markets are buzzing with potential, and we're excited to introduce our cloud-based model and agent-first approach to real estate professionals who are eager to elevate their careers and unlock new opportunities. The future of real estate is here, and we're just getting started.”

Türkiye, a critical hub bridging Europe and Asia, is home to a resilient and rapidly evolving real estate market, bolstered by strong domestic demand and increasing foreign investment, particularly in bustling cities like Istanbul. In Peru, the property market is thriving thanks to a booming economy and urban expansion, attracting global investors seeking opportunities in Lima and other emerging areas. Egypt, with its rich history and rapidly modernizing real estate landscape, offers unparalleled investment prospects, especially in Cairo — one of Africa's largest and fastest-growing cities.

Felix Bravo, VP of International Growth, emphasized, “These markets hold tremendous potential. Türkiye's unique position as a gateway between Europe and Asia, Peru's vibrant economic growth, and Egypt's rapid real estate development make them ideal for our agent-first model. We're excited to empower agents in these regions to expand their businesses, backed by eXp's cutting-edge platform and unparalleled support.”

eXp Realty's global expansion is driven by its agile, cloud-based platform, empowering agents with an unmatched commission structure, cutting-edge collaborative tools, and the unique opportunity to earn equity through their sales and growth. As 2025 approaches, eXp remains dedicated to supporting agents worldwide with the innovation and resources needed to thrive in any market, while continuing to broaden its global reach.
