    The Former CEO of Keller Williams Just Joined eXp. Here's What He Knows That You Don't.

    Chris Heller has seen real estate from every possible angle. As an agent, he sold over 4,400 homes across three decades. As an executive, he served as CEO of Keller Williams Realty International. When someone with that resume makes a move, the entire industry pays attention.

    Chris Heller's Career Highlights

    4,400+ homes sold over 30+ years

    100+ homes annually for three consecutive decades

    CEO of Keller Williams Realty International (KWRI)

    President of KW Worldwide

    CEO of mellohome

    President of OJO/Movoto

    A Reunion Eight Years in the Making

    "I've been in regular contact with Glenn [Sanford] since leaving KW in 2017. And it's been incredible to watch eXp's growth and transformation over the years."— Chris Heller

    For eight years, he observed from the outside. He watched agents he respected make the move. He saw the platform evolve. He tracked the numbers. When the timing finally aligned, the decision was clear.

    More Than Validation—A Signal

    "Chris and I were once competitors chasing the #1 spot, and now we're reunited at a company that gives top producers the autonomy, platform, and scale to build empires."— Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty

    Heller's move isn't just validation of eXp's model. It's a signal to the industry about where serious professionals are placing their bets.

    What This Means for Your Career

    If one of the most accomplished executives in real estate history chooses eXp after eight years of observation, it's worth asking yourself: what do you know that he doesn't?

    The Answer

    The answer, most likely, is nothing. Which means the question becomes: what are you waiting for?
