eXp UK hopes that its partnership model will appeal to more self-employed estate agents after agreeing a new partnership with iamproperty, the property auction firm.

The PropTech and auction group is offering multiple services to the firm and will work with eXp to provide compliance services through its movebutler platform, as well as auction services to its remote agents.

eXp UK is actively looking to expand its remote network of agents, from online, hybrid and traditional agency backgrounds, each of which operate their own personal brand as a self-employed agent.

Adam Day, UK lead for eXp, commented: “iamproperty is one of the leading suppliers in the property industry and we’re looking forward to building a strong working relationship, between the agents at eXp, and the whole iamproperty team.”

Tom Bailey, head of partnerships at iamproperty, says he views the eXp model as “a huge value-add in terms of the people commitment that we put into the partnership”.

“By combining eXp’s regionally tailored services with our tech expertise, we hope to give customers a well-rounded property sale and purchase experience”, he said. “In terms of compliance, iamproperty movebutler will service and assist eXp’s ongoing requirements through our agile platform.”

Ultimately, iamproperty is hoping to encourage more agents to use the Modern Method of Auction to help sell properties by diversify their offering and giving vendors more choice.

Ben Ridgway, co-founder at iamproperty, commented: “The partnership with eXp represents the future of how we plan to work with agents. Whilst we’ve had great success with providing auction services or engaging with agents through our movebutler platform to support their Private Treaty transactions, we’re now demonstrating how all of our tech can work together simultaneously and offer a truly end-to-end experience for the agent and client, regardless of the method of sale they choose.”
