AGNT, Inc., formerly eXp World Holdings, Inc., announced Leo Pareja has been named Chief Executive Officer. Pareja has served as CEO of eXp Realty since 2024 and was a key leader in the company’s acquisition of NextHome, Inc., as well as the company’s shift to a multi-model platform and overall expansion into franchising.
“My focus now is making sure every agent on our platform has the tools, the technology and the ownership stake to compete and win in an AI-native market,” Pareja said. “We’re not just adapting to where the industry is headed, we’re building the infrastructure for it. That’s the work ahead, and I’m ready for it.”
Pareja succeeds Glenn Sanford, AGNT Founder, who will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
“Building this company from the ground up and watching our vision for a better, agent-centric model of real estate grow into the global, AI-native, multi-model platform it is today has been the privilege of my career,” Sanford said. “After nearly two decades leading this company, I believe now is the right time to take the next step in our evolution. Leo has earned this moment. He’s been instrumental in moving our model into the AI-native era, and I’ve seen firsthand his commitment to our agents, our people and our shareholders. He built a successful real estate platform before joining us in 2022, so he understands firsthand the work our agents put in every day as entrepreneurs. As Board Chairman and an AGNT shareholder, I have complete confidence in Leo and in what’s ahead.”
Pareja has more than two decades of real estate experience, including serving as founding present of NAHREP’s Metro DC chapter and co-founder of Remine, Inc., which was later acquired by MLS Technology Holdings, LLC., and has been a longtime advocate for the industry.
“Glenn’s vision and leadership guided AGNT to the cloud-based industry leadership position we enjoy today, and our agents, owners, employees and shareholders are all beneficiaries,” said Randall Miles, Vice Chairman of the AGNT Board of Directors. “As Chairman, Glenn will continue to guide our long-term strategy and the company will keep benefiting from his expertise well into the future. This transition is the product of years of deliberate, thoughtful succession planning by our board, which voted unanimously to appoint Leo as our next Chief Executive Officer. He is a results-driven leader with a deep understanding of our business and our agent-centric model. We are confident Leo is the right person to lead AGNT forward and can’t wait to see him build on that track record as he assumes his expanded role.”
