BELLINGHAM, Wash., Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp Realty, the largest residential real estate brokerage by geography in North America and a subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:EXPI), today announced that the company exceeded 8,000 real estate agents across North America.

This significant event marks a doubling of agent count from eight months ago and 196 percent year-over-year growth of agents who joined the eXp Realty family. In February, the company also launched in Nebraska, marking the company’s operations in 47 U.S. states.

"We started off 2018 with a bang and we’re not slowing down! It is amazing to see this phenomenal growth just a few weeks into the new year,” said eXp Realty Chief Operating Officer Mary Frances Coleman. “To ensure that our superior level of agent service continues to match growth, we are bringing on additional industry leadership and staff to provide the instant, live agent services, technology and finance support that agents love.”
