Devin Doherty’s background in technology and passion for innovation in the real estate space brought him to the conclusion that eXp Realty is the best platform for real estate professionals.
Doherty’s accomplishments and track record of success in the real estate industry are substantial. Over the last few decades, Doherty has consulted for Fortune 500 companies (including KPMG), run highly successful real estate sales and investing businesses (including his current top-producing team, Doherty Real Estate Group based in Orange County, California), and co-founded one of the top five real estate sales networks in the country (Five Doors Network of Keller Williams).
He has also served as a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Mega Achievement Productivity Systems (MAPS) coach to the top-tier agents and leaders at Keller Williams, and enjoyed being part of Gary Keller’s mastermind group for years.
In 2019, Five Doors was honored by REAL Trends as the sixth-highest producing real estate team in the country with 1,856 closings and $476 million in sales volume. As Five Doors grew rapidly over the past several years, Doherty met with every top brokerage owner and company in the country to discuss whether any of them could meet the needs of an innovative business that was growing exponentially. Through these meetings, Doherty learned what the executives of every top company in the country could offer, but in the end, he felt eXp had what he was looking for and he decided to move his license to eXp.
“I was hampered in my ability to grow,” Doherty said when speaking of his previous brokerage. “I kept running into objections, red tape, and excessive costs demanded by franchise owners and the traditional broker mindset. I’m a straight shooter and see things as they are. I’m always solving for what the market needs, and I found my solution.”
In addition to these limitations, Doherty also saw that eXp’s generous financial model for agents and brokers makes great business sense.
“eXp Realty is a frictionless brokerage platform. With no borders or limits, it is the clearest and most rewarding program for those of us who are passionate about helping other real estate professionals succeed,” said Doherty.

We get to share in revenue and to have the financial benefits of owning a brokerage, without all the liability and many other issues of being an independent broker.”
eXp President of U.S. Growth, Dave Conord said, “It’s a great testament to the versatility of the eXp platform to have an industry innovator like Devin choose to grow his substantial business with us. After assessing the many options available to him, Devin saw the greatest opportunity to grow a thriving business here with eXp Realty. We’re thrilled to welcome him and look forward to being a partner in his continued success.”
At a young age, Doherty was a computer wiz who caught the eye of IBM, where he was hired as a teenager in its student technology program. He eventually worked for Apple in its early days, collaborating with founder Steve Wozniak in the Irvine office.
Doherty was enticed to look seriously at a career in real estate in 1991, through his wife’s family. He found himself working on everything from bank-owned properties, to short sales, investing, 1031 exchanges, flipping and building, and even getting his general contractor license.
Regarding his move to eXp, Doherty stated: “I debated, researched and thought long and hard on this decision. There could not be a better time to join eXp. We are moving into a virtual, digital-first world. I feel like my entire career is starting all over again – I have an ownership stake in the brokerage of the future and I can finally grow and support other real estate professionals with no limits.”
