Romy Stepniewski, a high-performing brokerage leader in Paris, is making waves by bringing her brokerage, Avenue de Paris, to eXp France. With over €18 million in transaction volume and a deep understanding of two of France’s most sought-after markets – Paris and the South of France – her move signals a major shift for independent brokerages looking for a better way to grow.
Why This Move Is a Game-Changer
Paris is one of the most important global referral hubs in real estate – a market where prestige, high-value transactions, and international buyers drive business. Until now, many independent brokers in the city have operated traditionally, without the flexibility and global connectivity that today’s agents need.
That’s what makes Stepniewski’s decision so significant. She isn’t just moving her brokerage – she’s bringing a new model of real estate to the heart of France’s most competitive market.
“This is a milestone moment,” said Samuel Caux, Country Leader of eXp France. “Having a top team leader in Paris strengthens our position in one of the most strategic markets in the world.”
Why eXp and Why Now?
For Stepniewski, the choice wasn’t just about a brokerage change – it was about future-proofing her business.
“The way brokers I knew were speaking about eXp was really full of joy and hope for a new real estate world,” said Stepniewski. “Especially in France, where the last years were not the easiest ones. Their enthusiasm was contagious and really made me want to discover what eXp France had to offer.”
After meeting the team, she was convinced. eXp France provided what she needed to expand in both Paris and the South of France – without the overhead and limitations of a traditional brokerage.
“My goal is always to move forward, but also to keep my freedom,” she said. “In a very competitive real estate world, you have to offer a lot to agents to make them come to you. The obvious solution was to join a big group.”
What This Means for Agents and Clients
This move isn’t just a win for Stepniewski – it’s a signal to other brokerage owners that there’s another way to scale. By joining eXp, she’s giving her agents the ability to leverage:
- An international network for cross-border opportunities
- Cutting-edge technology to streamline transactions
- 100% commission opportunities that reward their success
And for clients? Better-equipped agents mean better service.
“When you have the right tools, it’s easy to bring your agents to the best position in front of their clients,” Stepniewski said. “Confidence translates into better service, more successful transactions, and ultimately, happier clients. And a happy client brings more clients – that’s how long-term success is built.”
The Future of eXp France
Stepniewski’s move represents more than just another brokerage transition – it’s proof that eXp is reshaping real estate in France.
Her advice to other brokerage owners? “Be curious. Reach out. Discover how eXp can transform your brokerage.”
With momentum growing in Paris, eXp France is positioned to continue expanding into key luxury and international markets. And this is just the beginning.
