Episode #5: International eXpansion Podcast | Interview with Eli Torres

International eXpansion with Glenn Sanford

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. He encourages agents to embrace eXp’s technology, global reach, and consumer-first approach, which is reshaping the Puerto Rican real estate landscape
