Leo Pareja

Since his appointment as CEO in April 2024, Leo Pareja has navigated eXp Realty through one of the most transformative periods in real estate history. In 2025, Pareja solidified his status as a pivotal industry voice, aggressively advocating for consumer transparency and the preservation of the Clear Cooperation model. Pareja also spearheaded the launch of the innovative co-sponsor program and the AI Agent Accelerator, doubling down on technology to empower the firm’s 82,000 agents worldwide.

Pareja’s influence reached new heights this past year when he was named to the 2025 MarketWatch 25 list, the only real estate brokerage CEO to receive the honor. A former national president of NAHREP (the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals®), he remains deeply committed to diversity and fair housing, frequently using his platform to push for progress that benefits the entire real estate community.

“Today, the ultimate reward is watching our agents grow—seeing someone build a team, create generational wealth and completely change the trajectory of their family’s future,” shares Pareja, whose visionary leadership continues to ensure that eXp Realty remains a dominant, agent-centric force on a global scale.
