NextHome acquisition gives eXp a franchise growth engine

"eXp is a very healthy financial organization and they have the capital to get behind this and do something with it and they are acquiring a smaller franchise entity... They are not biting off more than they can chew by any means and nobody is going to question if eXp can operationalize around NextHome and facilitate keeping it together. Combining eXp with NextHome, means that NextHome has the chance to really explode whether that is by bringing in other franchise models or just organic growth."

"eXp can provide NextHome with capital, technology and systems that could rapidly expand the growth of NextHome without hurting themselves and I don't think eXp is done, they still have a lot of dry powder, but Real doesn't. They kind of spent it all in one go with REMAX, Murray said."

"The talent is aligned, the cultures are aligned, I have a hard time finding a negative on this one... If Leo [Pareja] and James [Dwiggins] put their heads together, which I am sure they are, I don't see a reason why they can't go big with this. eXp is very well positioned to do this, they are acquiring some great talent, so the question is where are they going to go next with this?"

"Murray sees many of the same benefits for eXp through this acquisition that McClelland does. I think it was a great move by both parties. They get a good franchise system that is already in the market and on top of that they get one of the brightest and most energetic young leaders in the industry in James Dwiggins and no one should underestimate the value of"
