Southern California luxury brokerage joins eXp Realty

The nation’s top brokerage by transaction side count, eXp Realty, is continuing to add agents. On Wednesday, eXp announced that Southern California-based independent brokerage Palm Realty Boutique was joining the firm. 

Founded by Brett Zebrowski, Palm Realty Boutique serves clients in the South Bay, Playa Del Rey and Beverly Hills markets.

“We’ve been courted by national brokerages for years, but I never wanted to lose what made us special,” Zebrowski said in a statement. “eXp lets us keep our brand, our culture, and everything we’ve built and then gives us a Ferrari engine to power it further.”

He also said the welcoming and attentive nature of the brokerage’s leadership, including CEO Leo Pareja, helped convince him to make the move. 

“Brett and his team represent the best of boutique luxury real estate; high-touch service, deep community roots, and incredible results,” Pareja said in a statement.

In 2024, Palm Realty Boutique’s 90 agents generated $750 million in sales volume from 370 transaction sides, according to a press release. 

Zebrowski and his team will join eXp’s luxury division, giving them access to the brokerage’s global referral network. 

“This isn’t a goodbye to who we are,” Zebrowski said. “It’s a hello to what we can become.”

On Tuesday, eXp announced that former Keller Williams CEO Chris Heller was moving his team to the company.
