Kléver’s move brings Ecuador’s top-performing team under the eXp banner, accelerating expansion across LATAM and signaling a new era of agent ownership, platform leverage, and cross-border opportunity

BELLINGHAM, Wash., May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp Realty®, the world’s largest independent real estate brokerage and a core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), today announced the official launch of its operations in Ecuador, furthering the company’s rapid expansion across Latin America. The move is led by Kléver Guanoluisa Torres, one of the country’s most influential real estate professionals, who previously led Ecuador’s top-performing team at RE/MAX.

Kléver brings nearly 30 years of experience in real estate, coaching and business development. He has trained more than 2,000 agents across Latin America and is widely recognized for his leadership approach focused on personal growth, professional performance and long-term agent success.

“Kléver’s reputation speaks for itself. He’s a proven leader and a trusted name in the Ecuadorian real estate community,” said Felix Bravo, Managing Director, International, at eXp Realty. “His decision to join eXp reflects the growing shift among industry leaders who are looking for a model that empowers agents through ownership, innovation and borderless opportunity.”

Kléver said the move to eXp represents a new chapter not only for his career, but for the next generation of real estate professionals in Ecuador.

“eXp brings together everything I believe agents need to thrive: the freedom to lead, the tools to scale and the community to grow,” said Torres. “This is more than a career move. It’s a commitment to a better future for agents across the country.”

With this expansion, agents in Ecuador gain access to eXp’s cloud-based brokerage model. Key benefits include a competitive commission structure tailored to local market needs, equity and revenue share opportunities (subject to local regulatory compliance), and a global network of more than 81,000 agents in 27 countries.
