Days after announcing its acquisition of the franchise brand, eXp reported a 5% year-over-year bump in revenue as net losses improved.

Though losses mounted and revenue fell, the luxury brokerage’s CEO says he has more confidence in the company’s future now “than at any point in my tenure.”

Leaders from HomeSmart, HomeServices and Lamacchia Realty noted that agents have different priorities, and brokerages must “meet the agent where they’re at.”

The franchisor reported declining revenue and rising losses in Q1 — a trend the company hopes to change with its pending acquisition by Real.

The cloud-based brokerage’s “significant growth” in Q1 demonstrates “the continued strength of our platform and agent value proposition,” CEO Tamir Poleg said.

The brokerage giant embraces the M&A trend, inking a deal eXp says will create “a more robust company” and give agents more choices as consolidation ramps up.

Having “the courage to dream” spurred Real’s rapid growth, Tamir Poleg said. But, he warned, the “industry is doomed” if brokerages don’t prioritize consumers.

Tech and scale converge as an iconic global franchise brokerage brand meets a technology-driven, high-growth platform. Why now? And what is going to change?
