On this week’s KGCI Real Estate On Air Live , host Ian Wheatley sits down with Leo Pareja , CEO of eXp Realty , to break down what agents need to know about industry consolidation, culture, and the AI revolution already transforming the marketplace. From the Compass/Anywhere merger to global MLS differences and eXp’s debt-free growth model, Leo shares a clear-eyed look at where the business is headed — and how agents can adapt, stay relevant, and lead through change.
