BusinessEntrepreneurInnovation

Glenn Sanford is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of eXp World Holdings (Nasdaq: EXPI) and CEO of eXp Realty — one of the largest independent real estate companies in the world, with more than 85,000 agents across 27 countries. He also serves as the Publisher and Managing Director of SUCCESS® Enterprises, guiding the iconic 129-year-old brand into a new era of digital transformation.

After executive roles at several technology companies — including founding the e-commerce logistics firm eShippers.com in 1998 — Glenn entered real estate in 2002. By 2006, his team was closing over $60 million a year in volume, ranking among the top 50 teams nationally with Keller Williams. When the 2008 housing crash wiped out his first boutique brokerage, he started from a blank sheet of paper.

The result was eXp Realty, launched in October 2009 as the first cloud-based national real estate brokerage. Replacing brick-and-mortar offices with a fully immersive 3-D virtual environment, eXp enables agents, brokers, and staff to collaborate, learn, and transact from anywhere in the world. Under Glenn's leadership, the company has grown into a publicly traded, billion-dollar enterprise recognized by Glassdoor as a Best Place to Work.

At SUCCESS® Enterprises, Glenn is reimagining the legacy brand as a next-gen platform for personal growth, leadership, and high performance. Named No. 2 in the 2025 Swanepoel Power 200, Glenn is a sought-after keynote speaker on innovation, cloud-first business models, and building agent-centric organizations at scale.
