After 16 years in the real estate industry, Ray Little and his highly successful Little Property Group have decided it’s time for something new. Based in Duncan, British Columbia, on stunning Vancouver Island, Ray and his three-person team have made a significant shift, joining eXp Realty in March 2025.
A Calculated, Well-Considered Move
For nearly two years, Ray and his team carefully considered their options, weighing the benefits of joining eXp Realty. Their sponsor, eXp agent Chris Molenaar, provided unwavering support and patience throughout the process, allowing them to take their time to ensure this transition was the right fit.
Their attendance at a real estate event in Texas and eXpcon in Toronto last year solidified their decision. What stood out wasn’t just the expansive opportunities eXp offers, but also the sense of community, inclusion, and collaboration.
“We felt like we were going to be part of something bigger than us. We also felt included, seen, listened to, and valued,” Ray explains. “We get it. eXp makes sense in more ways than one, and we are excited to show the world what we can do and what Vancouver Island means to us.”
A Sit-Down with eXp Leadership
A pivotal moment in their decision-making process came when Ray and his team had a private meeting with eXp Founder Glenn Sanford, CEO Leo Pareja, and SVP of Canada Growth Nadia Habib during eXpcon in Toronto. That conversation made it clear – they weren’t just joining a brokerage; they were becoming part of an international real estate powerhouse with a strong sense of community and collaboration.
A Legacy of Excellence on Vancouver Island
For over 16 years, Ray and his team have built a reputation as one of Vancouver Island’s top-performing real estate groups. With $40 million in closed sales on 89 units in 2024 alone, their expertise spans different types of residential real estate – from waterfront estates to farms, and condos. The team is looking to expand into the commercial sector as well.
Ray’s track record speaks for itself:
- #1 agent in the Duncan Pemberton Holmes office for 9+ years.
- Top 2-3 agent company-wide for 9+ years.
- Recognized with Top New Agent awards, Monthly Sales Leader awards, and ranked in the top 5-10% of the company consistently.
A Brokerage That Aligns With Their Values
For Ray and his team, real estate isn’t just about transactions – it’s about hard work, listening, caring, and having fun. They strive to master their craft while ensuring they enjoy the process. At eXp Realty, they’ve found a culture that aligns perfectly with their philosophy.
Ray describes eXp Realty as an international brand with incredible outreach, a welcoming network of agents, and a leadership team that truly listens. “Everyone seems happy to help and share, and we feel that is what life is about,” he adds.
What’s Next for the Little Property Group?
With this transition, Ray and his team, including agents Melinda Banfield, Errik Ferreira and office administrator Taunya Jardine are looking forward to leveraging eXp’s technology, global network, and agent support systems to take their business to the next level. They are also excited to continue showcasing Vancouver Island’s unique real estate market on a broader scale.
And for those who love a fun fact – Ray can now add Hallmark holiday movie extra to his resume, even if it was just for two seconds! But real estate remains his true passion, and with eXp Realty, he and the Little Property Group are ready to make an even bigger impact.
