The future of luxury real estate is going global

eXp Realty, “the most agent-centric real estate brokerage on the planet™” – and a core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. – is continuing the expansion of its luxury real estate programme, eXp Luxury, into the dynamic international markets of Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom as well as South Africa.

Andrew Thompson, director and country leader of eXp Realty South Africa, says: “We are incredibly proud and excited to announce the expansion of the eXp Luxury brand into the vibrant market of South Africa. This marks a significant milestone in our journey, and we are enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead as we bring unparalleled high-end international luxury real estate expertise to the country.

“With a commitment to excellence and innovation, we look forward to elevating the real estate experience. Our first agent from South Africa to join eXp Luxury will be Cape Town–based property practitioner Michiel de Vogeleer, who is no stranger to the luxury market,” he continues.

Having built an impressive 1 100 members and counting across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico over the last 15 months, eXp Luxury continues its exponential growth trajectory. The programme made its debut in the US in October 2022, followed by a launch in Canada in September 2023 and, most recently, it extended its reach to Puerto Rico, further expanding its presence.

The remarkable success and high demand for eXp Luxury have paved the way for this launch into new international territories, providing eXp Realty Luxury agents unrivalled access to extraordinary investment opportunities. With memberships that provide the ability to showcase remarkable listing campaigns through exclusive partnerships, elevate brand aesthetics through a bespoke design centre, and foster growth through robust learning events and vibrant networking opportunities, agents can truly thrive in luxury real estate.

“eXp Luxury represents our dedication to empowering elite real estate professionals with unparalleled tools and resources to enhance production and strengthen their individual brands while elevating their customer service offerings,” says Michael Valdes, chief growth officer at eXp Realty. “This strategic international expansion marks a pivotal moment, showcasing eXp Realty’s unwavering commitment to not only revolutionising the global real estate landscape but setting a new benchmark for excellence in luxury real estate.”
