eXp Realty announced Matt Jones has been appointed the new Country Leader for eXp New Zealand. Jones brings more than two decades of experience in real estate, as well as founding and scaling agent-first platforms, project managing new office launches and leading acquisitions for New Zealand’s largest buyer and reseller of Auckland apartments.

“Joining eXp is a natural evolution of my mission, helping agents build businesses that are truly theirs,” Jones said. “Agents don’t need more bureaucracy, they need ownership. I’ve spent the last several years helping agents ditch outdated models and build their own brands. eXp is the global platform that makes that possible at scale. It gives New Zealand agents the freedom, tech and financial upside to build real businesses, not just sell homes. This is a turning point for our industry, and I’m here to help agents take full control of their future.”

“Matt’s proven he can recruit, lead and scale. That’s why we’re handing him the keys to New Zealand,” said Félix Bravo, eXp Realty Managing Director, International. “He’s built a business that works. Agents trust him, production follows him and he knows his market cold. That’s the kind of operator we back. And now, he has the global infrastructure, platform, and reach of eXp to scale even further.”
