It’s official. EXp has acquired NextHome. And the real question is not what happened. That’s what happens next. On this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with eXp CEO Leo Pareja to break down the strategy, vision, and impact behind one of the most talked-about moves in real estate, from how the deal came together to what it means for agents, franchise owners, and the industry as a whole.
We discuss the questions everyone has, the strategy behind this move, and what’s next when these two companies join forces. This is a candid, unfiltered conversation straight from the people behind the deals.
If you want to understand the industry and where these two companies are headed, listen to the entire episode.

This is not just a transaction. It’s about where the industry is going. From cultural alignment to expanding business models, this conversation goes deeper than the headlines and rumors.
In this episode we dive into:
Why eXp acquired NextHome, and why now? How this creates a multi-model future for agents. What this means for NextHome franchise owners. Why the two companies have minimal overlap. How size, capital, and technology impact growth.
They also address the big picture. In short, real estate is consolidating, and the companies that win will be those that can adapt without losing their identity. It’s not just about getting bigger. It’s about building something more durable.
If you’re an agent, broker, or industry leader looking to understand what’s really going on behind the scenes, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
