44 eXp Realty agents and teams earned 54 total placements on the prestigious annual list, while ranking as the No. 1 named brokerage/network brand in the Enterprise Team category by volume.

It speaks directly to the caliber of professionals who are looking at the landscape and choosing eXp," said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. "What stands out this year is the sheer diversity of success. We are seeing individual agents, fast-rising teams, and the country's most massive enterprise organizations all building successfully inside our ecosystem. This tells a powerful story about agent-led growth and proves exactly what happens when top-tier professionals are given the platform, economics, collaboration, and ultimate flexibility to scale a business around their own vision."
Across the 54 placements agents and teams earned, eXp Realty represented 20,532 transaction sides and $11.8 billion in sales volume on the 2026 RealTrends + Tom Ferry The Thousand.
Key Performance Highlights:
- Exponential Year-Over-Year Growth: eXp Realty expanded its elite footprint on the list by 10% from 2025 to 2026.
