    From Corporate Agent to Building a Business for Life | Angat Kamboh

    Angat Kamboh was a corporate estate agent who had become tired of agency and was considering his options — including the attraction of moving to Dubai.But was it really agency he was tired of, or simply the environment he was in?When we met, I encouraged Angat to think bigger and, more importantly, think long term. Not about the next year, two years or even five years, but about building a business that could create genuine time, location and financial freedom for the rest of his life.In this episode, we talk about Angat’s journey, why he chose to partner with eXp, the reality of building your own business, and why nothing amazing comes without hard work. There are no shortcuts, but with the right model, the right people around you and a willingness to follow the process and put the work in, you can build an incredible business and lifestyle for yourself, your family and the agents you bring on the journey with you. Angat, it’s amazing to be in partnership with you and we’re very grateful to be part of the journey.

    From Sceptic to Believer | Matt Leitch on eXp, Buying Agency & eXp Con Paris

    This week I'm joined by Matt Leitch – an experienced corporate agent turned buying agent – to talk about his journey with eXp. We cover why he was initially sceptical of the model, what changed his mind, and how he's realised he doesn't have to choose. He can build a successful buying agency and grow an eXp business at the same time. In fact, joining the network has strengthened both. We also chat about eXp Con Paris, the power of the international community, the relationships he's built, and why he's now fully embracing the model. If you've ever wondered whether eXp is right for you, or whether it can work alongside a buying agency, this episode is well worth a listen. Hear Matt's story and make up your own mind.
