As a seasoned blogger in the real estate industry, I’ve witnessed countless trends and changes over the years. But none, perhaps, as compelling as the rise of virtual brokerages like eXp Realty. Today, I want to discuss a recent development that underscores this shift — the story of Sonny Bhinder, a respected real estate leader from Vancouver, British Columbia, who made the leap of faith to eXp Realty from running his own traditional brokerage.
Bhinder, with his formidable team of agents and support staff, brought in a whopping $49.2 million in closed sales volume across 58 transactions in 2024, primarily in the residential real estate sector, showcasing their real estate prowess. Their choice of aligning with eXp Realty now begs the question – is the future of real estate rooted in virtual brokerages?
When Bhinder launched his own independent brokerage in 2022, his mission was to leverage his years of leadership and success in the Vancouver real estate market. However, he soon found running his own brokerage to be a demanding task filled with challenges and distractions from his primary passion – helping his clients and mentoring his team. He admitted that it was like being in an “adult daycare,” pulling his focus away from what truly mattered to him.
Enter eXp Realty – a tech-savvy, forward-thinking brokerage that is redefining the future of real estate. Bhinder was initially skeptical of eXp Realty, but after due diligence and insight from other successful eXp Realty agents, he decided this virtual brokerage was not ‘too good to be true’ but rather a trailblazer in this ever-changing real estate landscape.
Bhinder’s decision to switch to eXp Realty was heavily influenced by the promising advancements they offer. According to him, “The industry is evolving quickly, and eXp’s platform allows us to stay ahead of the curve.” eXp Realty’s cloud-based model, combined with its trailblazing revenue share program and stock options, offers a level of support and innovation that traditional brokerages cannot compete with.
Interestingly, Bhinder’s story is not unique. Many real estate professionals around the country, like those in Southern California, are recognizing the benefits of a virtual brokerage like eXp Realty. As both a real estate expert and a curious observer, I can’t help but feel that we’re standing at the precipice of a transformative era in the real estate industry.
