Welcome to the International eXpansion Podcast!
In this episode of the International eXpansion Podcast, Glenn Sanford chats with Claire Hughes about her transition from traditional UK estate agencies and Purple Bricks to eXp Realty’s agent-centric model. Claire shares how eXp’s flexibility allowed her to build a referral-based, hyper-local business in East London, balancing sales and lettings for residual income. She highlights how eXp empowers agents to set their own fees, control their schedule, and provide personalized service—a contrast to the structured corporate model of high-street agencies. Claire also discusses eXp’s global network, revenue share, and tech-driven support, encouraging agents to research, connect, and plan strategically before making the switch.
