eXp UK signs three agents to brokerage model

Adam Day

eXp UK has announced that three more estate agency brand have joined its set-up under new ‘brokerage’ model.

Firstly, Desmond & Co powered by eXp, led by Darren Desmond, based in Plymouth and Cornwall.

Desmond said: “Joining the eXp family allows our business to seamlessly evolve with the changing face of the estate agency sector, providing a greater degree of autonomy and flexibility to our agents in the process.

“However, the real strength of eXp’s offering is the support provided by its global community, support which is invaluable when it comes to succeeding within the self-employed space.”

Secondly, Signature Homes powered by eXp, led by Harry Singh, based in the Midlands.

Singh commented: “It’s clear that the UK estate agency sector is changing and eXp is leading the charge in this respect, so who better to help support our switch to the self-employed space than the world’s leading self-employed platform.

“The support and guidance provided has been key and we’re looking forward to pushing our business to new heights with the resources available to us, whilst also streamlining our operational costs in the process.”

Finally, Miller Town & Country powered by eXp, led by John Simmons, covering Okehampton, Tavistock, and the surrounding villages.

Simmons stated: “We could see that the estate agency model in the UK was evolving and wanted to be at the leading edge of this.

“Our move to the Teams brokerage model has allowed us to offer the best of both worlds – a modern self-employed structure attractive to the industry’s top talent, along with the association with a strong brand in a supportive team environment.  We’re incredibly excited to see what the next chapter holds.”

eXp UK’s ‘brokerage’ model is for traditional high street estate agencies with an employed workforce to become an eXp UK partner business, and to transform their valuers and listers into self-employed agents in association with the eXp brand, whilst also keeping their existing brand.

The offering has quickly gained traction, with 10 existing and established estate agency businesses making the switch in 2024.

The head of eXp UK, Adam Day, added: “2024 proved to be an incredibly successful year for the eXp UK brand and one that saw us surpass a number of milestones as a business.

“Not only have we cemented our position as Britain’s leading platform for self-employed agents, but we’ve also seen great success with our brokerage model.

“This traction has continued to build in 2025 and we’re looking forward to another year shaking up the industry norm and offering agents the freedom and flexibility to carve their own path within the property sector.”

    Only takes rightmove to stop them hacking the system and this business model is over.

    Also a constant fight of confusion for sellers as well. Are you exp or are you Darren off LinkedIn who is constantly blessing himself ?

      It’s 2025, properties can get traded without portals more and more frequently. Would you really let suppliers determine your business model?

        AI, will hopefully render portals unnecessary soon.
