Former Purplebricks agents help drive self-employed brand’s UK expansion

Self-employed agency brand eXp UK has attracted a trio of former Purplebricks agents as it continues its expansion into Scotland and across the UK.

The majority of eXp UK’s business has been in England and Wales, however the plan now is to further push expansion throughout Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland too.

It has named Ross Walker as divisional sales director (DSD), recruiting him from a similar role with Purplebricks.

Alongside Ross, a further three agents have joined in and around the Fife area, including Mark MacDonald, Angela Shanks & Brad Saxton. Stephen Sarsfield has also joined the estate agency network operating in and around the Glasgow area.

Meanwhile, two former Purplebricks agents, James Hummerstone-Pope and Scott Morland have also moved across to the eXp brand.

Adam Day, international expansion leader for eXp UK, said: “Our growth across the UK since we launched a few short years ago has been pretty relentless and in order to achieve our next level of success I am keen to further expand within Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland as well as England and to demonstrate our acknowledgement that UK regions vary in their approach to selling property and so we will support local agents accordingly.

“Any ambitious, independently minded agents with at least two years’ experience in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that would like to discuss expanding their estate agency career and earnings should get in touch with me or any one of our existing 350 agents.”
