eXp Realty announced that the high‑producing Tampa team Maximum Tampa Group, led by Yulia Olivo and Jennifer Rivera, has returned to the platform and will launch FIG Team Maximum Tampa in partnership with Veronica Figueroa’s FIG Team. The move brings a team that previously operated under LPT Realty back to eXp, adding a proven group that closed $51.96 million in volume across 144 sides in 2024.
The partnership creates a new office in Tampa that combines local leadership with eXp’s global systems, allowing the team to recruit, develop, and expand market presence while leveraging eXp’s equity, revenue‑share and technology platform. By adding FIG Team Maximum Tampa, eXp expands its footprint in the Tampa market and strengthens its strategy of attracting top‑producing teams to its virtual brokerage model.
Management said the acquisition reflects the value of a platform that can support agents at scale. Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty, noted, "Agents building real businesses need a platform that can support them at scale." He added, "Yulia and Jennifer understand what it takes to grow, and their return reflects the importance of having the right structure, systems, and leadership in place to support that growth long term." Olivo and Rivera echoed the sentiment, with Olivo stating, "We needed a model that could support where we're going, not just where we are. We've experienced growth at a high level, and this move allows us to build with the right foundation in place," and Rivera saying, "For years, we've said we wanted to build one of the top teams in Tampa. This gives us the ability to do that within a structure that's already proven."
eXp World Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPI) has received mixed analyst sentiment, with a consensus ranging from a “Strong Buy” with a $11.50 price target to a “Reduce” with a $7.88 target. The company’s stock has shown volatility, reflecting the broader market’s cautious view of eXp’s growth trajectory. The new team acquisition aligns with eXp’s core strategy of scaling through high‑producing teams, a move that is expected to reinforce its competitive position in key U.S. markets.
The addition of Maximum Tampa Group to the FIG Team network underscores eXp’s focus on building a network of top performers while leveraging its cloud‑based brokerage model. The partnership is expected to enhance agent recruitment, deepen market penetration in Tampa, and provide a scalable framework for future expansion in other regions.
