Armed with a finance degree and a high-flying career with corporate giant Ernst & Young, eXp Realty agent Christina “Koko” Kokologiannakis knew how to scale her real estate business with laser focus and best practices.
And yet, even as one of Apple News’ Top 10 agents in California in 2023, Christina admits how much of an edge eXp Realty has given her since joining in 2017. Kokologiannakis Real Estate and Strategy delivers white-glove service to VIP clients with the full confidence and support of the world’s most technologically advanced real estate brokerage.
In 2022, Christina singlehandedly sold more than $11.5 million and is on track to exceed $15 million in 2023.
eXp Delivers Support and Encouragement To Get to the Next Level
It has been both a professional and personal boon, Christina said, pointing to a “pivotal moment” at eXp Realty that transformed her into a confident, powerful entrepreneur.
“That took place during the Sprint Conference, a gathering of top agents in growth mode. Despite my achievements and numerous awards, I still struggled to see myself as a leader. However, after engaging in conversations with fellow agents at the event, my confidence transformed. They expressed their admiration and encouraged me to share my unique approach through videos and content creation. Many even generously offered guidance on how to get started,’’ she said.
“This collaboration, this unwavering support, fundamentally changed me. I wouldn’t trade any of these experiences for the world. eXp Realty has fostered a culture of collaboration that is truly exceptional, and if you actively seek it, a world of opportunity awaits.”

What eXp Realty also gives Christina is a way to excel by delivering tailored real estate services to her high net-worth clients without sacrificing her commitment to motherhood. eXp’s cloud-based platform gives her instant access to a worldwide network of agents, mentors and experts. She is also fond of the revenue-sharing that further rewards Christina’s hard work.
What Were You NOT Getting From Your Prior Brokerage?
“I had this deep-seated feeling that I wasn’t truly owning my path in my previous brokerage. The fees weighed heavily on me, and it often felt like I was paying for services I never used. The office was there, but it didn’t feel like a place of learning or community. You’d hope to find support and camaraderie, only to discover empty desks and an absent broker. In the end, it boiled down to more than just fees — it was about not having a real sense of ownership or belonging. I craved a place where I could truly thrive, connect, and contribute.”
What Is One Thing About eXp That Surprised You?
“eXp’s innovation is truly remarkable. When I first joined, it was a small, budding community with limited resources, but I’ve witnessed its growth and what’s available today – it’s nothing short of impressive. The challenge now lies in selecting the opportunities that align best with my goals and aspirations.”
