Like many independent brokers, Chauncey Pham joined eXp Realty to free herself of the complications and liabilities of running her own brokerage. The huge overhead, difficulty in attracting top talent, and desire for less risk led her to eXp, which provides support for all of that and much more.
Pham was approached by many agents to come to eXp, but nothing turned her head until fellow Dallas-Fort Worth broker Nicholas Good joined eXp. That got her attention quickly.
“I admired him. When he took his team over to eXp, I stopped in my tracks and started looking on my own,” said Pham.
eXp’s model, which essentially supports everything an independent broker is trying to do, such as provide training, collaboration, support and a platform to grow a business made sense to Pham, who joined eXp in September 2019. Read more about Chauncey Pham below.

Reasons for joining eXp Realty:
“I was operating an independent boutique brokerage that sounded great on paper and appeared to be a great business. When in all actuality, it stifled my growth and the agents within and was not very profitable. So I joined eXp Realty in September 2019 and I kick myself everyday for not coming over sooner.”
What makes eXp special to you?
“The fact that I can build a business instead of only having the option to be the business. There are so many different ways for me to tap into revenue-generating outlets with eXp. It feeds both my entrepreneurial spirit and my love for real estate.”
What is one thing about eXp you didn’t realize?
“That agents outside your network would be so willing to share and collaborate.”
Best tip to share with other agents:
“Always answer and return calls. These are people who need help in finding/selling a home.”
