"I came to eXp on the recommendation of my good friend and realtor David Gerwels out of Hilton Head Island. David has helped me expand my downline and is always there when I need him. “Once you see it you can’t unsee it” referring to the business model, there are plenty of extra ways to make money through eXp. From revenue share, to growing my downline, becoming a relocation specialist and getting corporate referrals, and even becoming a certified mentor. David helps me get new mentees onboarded and gets them going. You rock! "

David was the driving force and an excellent source of information in my switching to EXP. I am so glad we met for lunch that cold dreary January day . EXP is truly my business . I could not imagine my former broker writing me a dividend check or issuing me stock in his company . It has been a good move . Thank you David !

As an independent real estate agent, I was drawn to eXp Realty because of its value, responsiveness, technology, tools, programs, and agent-focused support. From day one, I’ve found the resources and encouragement to be readily available, making it a great place to build my business while providing the support needed to better serve my clients. I would highly recommend eXp Realty to any agent looking for an innovative, responsive, and supportive brokerage.

In 2022 David Gerwels took the time to introduce my business partner Rick Saba and I to the cloud base real estate sales model.Throughout the last 4.5 years, David has kindly offered his superior knowledge and clarity in this new segment of the real estate industry.. We started COAST brokered by eXp Realty on Hilton Head not knowing where it would go. The sales came , agents joined we built an office - before you know it COAST had become the No.1 ranked team in the brokerage across South Carolina with the help of David. Last year our team grew to 75+ agents with 450+ transactions!
