BELLINGHAM, WA — AGNT, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGNT), formerly eXp World Holdings, Inc., today announced a key leadership change. Effective immediately, Leo Pareja has been named Chief Executive Officer of AGNT.
Pareja has served as Chief Executive Officer of eXp Realty since 2024. He now steps into the top role at the parent company, which includes eXp Realty®, NextHome, Inc., FrameVR.io, and SUCCESS® Enterprises.
Glenn Sanford, who founded the company in 2009, will continue as Chairman of the Board of Directors. He will focus on AGNT’s long-term vision and strategy.
This transition marks the next phase of AGNT’s growth. The company continues to scale its agent-centric platform both in local markets and internationally.
“Building this company from the ground up and watching our vision for a better, agent-centric model of real estate grow into the global, AI-native, multi-model platform it is today has been the privilege of my career,” said Glenn Sanford, Founder of AGNT, Inc.

“After nearly two decades leading this company, I believe now is the right time to take the next step in our evolution. Leo has earned this moment. He’s been instrumental in moving our model into the AI-native era, and I’ve seen firsthand his commitment to our agents, our people, and our shareholders. He built a successful real estate platform before joining us in 2022, so he understands firsthand the work our agents put in every day as entrepreneurs. As Board Chairman and an AGNT shareholder, I have complete confidence in Leo and in what’s ahead.”
“Glenn built something the industry said couldn’t work – a company owned by the agents who power it – and turned it into a global, AI-native platform that’s redefining what real estate can be. I don’t take that legacy lightly,” said Leo Pareja, Chief Executive Officer of AGNT, Inc.
“My focus now is making sure every agent on our platform has the tools, the technology, and the ownership stake to compete and win in an AI-native market. We’re not just adapting to where the industry is headed, we’re building the infrastructure for it. That’s the work ahead, and I’m ready for it.”
“Glenn’s vision and leadership guided AGNT to the cloud-based industry leadership position we enjoy today, and our agents, owners, employees, and shareholders are all beneficiaries,” said Randall Miles, Vice Chairman of the AGNT Board of Directors.
“As Chairman, Glenn will continue to guide our long-term strategy and the company will keep benefiting from his expertise well into the future. This transition is the product of years of deliberate, thoughtful succession planning by our Board, which voted unanimously to appoint Leo as our next Chief Executive Officer. He is a results-driven leader with a deep understanding of our business and our agent-centric model. We are confident Leo is the right person to lead AGNT forward and can’t wait to see him build on that track record as he assumes his expanded role.”
Leo Pareja has served as Chief Executive Officer of eXp Realty since April 2024. He previously held the roles of Chief Strategy Officer and President of Affiliated Services.
In those positions, he helped launch Revenos and drove key enhancements to eXp Solutions. These efforts strengthened the company’s value for agents.
In May 2026, Pareja led AGNT’s acquisition of NextHome, Inc. This marked the company’s first move into franchising and its shift to a multi-model platform that now trades on Nasdaq under the ticker AGNT.
Pareja brings more than 20 years of real estate experience. Before joining the company in 2022, he co-founded Remine, Inc. in 2016. He served as CEO and President until its acquisition by MLS Technology Holdings, LLC in 2021. Under his leadership, Remine’s MLS technology suite grew to serve more than one million real estate professionals across North America.
Earlier in his career, Pareja built one of the industry’s top-producing real estate teams. He earned recognition on RealTrends’ The Thousand, NAHREP’s Top 250, and Realtor® Magazine’s 30 Under 30. He has also been named six times to the Swanepoel Power 200 list of influential residential real estate leaders.
Pareja has long advocated for the industry. He served as founding president of NAHREP’s Metro D.C. chapter and later as the organization’s national president. He is a graduate of George Mason University, where he earned a B.A. in Integrated Studies.
