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.
