Key Takeaway: eXp AGNT refers to a parent company change, not a new name for eXp Realty. In 2026, eXp World Holdings moved its Nasdaq ticker from EXPI to AGNT and renamed itself AGNT, Inc. eXp Realty remains the brokerage, and agent commission plans did not change. AGNT now also owns NextHome, SUCCESS Enterprises, and FrameVR.

eXp AGNT describes the 2026 change to eXp Realty’s parent company. eXp World Holdings switched its Nasdaq ticker to AGNT and then renamed itself AGNT, Inc.
Some agents assume eXp Realty itself changed its name. The brokerage name stayed the same, because the change happened one level up, at the holding company.
This article explains how the AGNT parent company change fits into the broader eXp Realty About eXp Realty ecosystem available to eXp agents.
This guide explains what changed, what did not, and what the new parent company now includes:
Table of Contents
Did eXp Realty Change Its Name to AGNT?
eXp Realty did not change its name. The change applies to the parent company that owns it.
On May 8, 2026, eXp World Holdings began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker AGNT instead of EXPI. In June 2026, the company completed its renaming to AGNT, Inc. and moved its legal home from Delaware to Texas.
That leaves three names to keep straight:
- eXp Realty is the brokerage agents join.
- AGNT, Inc. is the public parent company.
- AGNT is the Nasdaq ticker for that parent company.
Shareholders did not need to sell or buy anything, and the company’s CUSIP number stayed the same. Existing shares simply trade under the new symbol, though older documents and filings may still show the eXp World Holdings name.
Does the AGNT Change Affect eXp Agents?
The name and ticker change did not, by itself, change an eXp agent’s commission plan, cap, sponsor, revenue share organization, or brokerage affiliation. Agents remain affiliated with eXp Realty, and their independent contractor agreement is still with the eXp brokerage entity in their state.
The change also does not place eXp agents under NextHome or any other AGNT business. Each business keeps its own structure and its own agreements. Agents still use the same eXp systems, State Broker teams, and support channels they used before the change.
Any future change to agent terms would come through eXp Realty’s agreements and policies, not through the parent company’s name. The current split, cap, and fees are covered in eXp Realty fees.
How Is NextHome Different From eXp Realty?
eXp World Holdings acquired NextHome in May 2026. The two companies were not merged into one brokerage. They use different business models.
eXp Realty is a single cloud-based brokerage. An agent or team joins eXp and works under it directly.
NextHome is a franchise. A broker-owner owns and runs a local brokerage under the NextHome brand. NextHome’s acquisition announcement said brokers who want to own a brokerage can keep doing so through the franchise model, while agents and teams who prefer the virtual model can build at eXp.
NextHome continues under its own brand and leadership team. James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson, who were co-CEOs before the acquisition and co-host the Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered podcast, now serve as President and President of Strategy. In May 2026, NextHome also launched a large-office franchise model for established, high-volume brokerage owners.
What Companies Does AGNT Own?
AGNT currently names four primary businesses:
- eXp Realty, the cloud-based real estate brokerage.
- NextHome, the national real estate franchise.
- SUCCESS Enterprises, the company behind SUCCESS magazine, SUCCESS.com, podcasts, and personal and professional development programs.
- FrameVR, a virtual collaboration platform for virtual offices, meetings, and online events, which eXp Realty uses.
On October 8, 2026, Leo Pareja, who had served as eXp Realty CEO since April 2024, became CEO of AGNT, Inc. Founder Glenn Sanford stepped down as CEO and stays on as Chairman of the Board, according to AGNT’s announcement. The announcement did not mention changes to agent commission plans or revenue share.
Each business is separate. Owning them under one parent does not merge their agents, compensation plans, or revenue share programs. AGNT describes the structure as a multi-model platform serving agents, franchise owners, and team leaders. SUCCESS and FrameVR are not brokerages, so agents do not affiliate with them the way they affiliate with eXp Realty or a NextHome office.
What the NextHome Office Moves Show
Some agents read NextHome office moves as eXp recruiting news. They are separate.
On September 22, 2026, NextHome announced that five offices with nearly 400 agents had moved from Keller Williams. About 200 agents came from offices on California’s Central Coast and in Ventura County. About 200 more came from three offices in North Orange County.
Those agents did not join eXp Realty. Their brokerages joined AGNT through NextHome’s franchise model, and their owners still run them.
That points to the reason for having two models. A broker-owner who built an office over many years may not want to move every agent into a cloud brokerage. The franchise gives that owner a different option inside the same parent company.
What AGNT Has and Has Not Announced
AGNT has said it wants a multi-model platform serving agents, franchise owners, and team leaders. Some agents read that as a sign of immediate changes at eXp. None have been announced.
AGNT has not announced that eXp and NextHome will share revenue share, compensation plans, or agent organizations. It has not said eXp agents gain access to NextHome business opportunities. SUCCESS and FrameVR remain distinct businesses.
Open questions remain. Technology, training, or referrals could one day move between the companies, and AGNT could add other real estate models. These are possibilities, not announcements.
The useful signals will come from actions over the next few years, such as further acquisitions, shared technology, and whether NextHome keeps attracting established brokerages.
What Agents Also Ask
Is eXp World Holdings the same company as AGNT, Inc.?
AGNT, Inc. is the same company under a new name. eXp World Holdings, Inc. renamed itself AGNT, Inc. in June 2026 and moved its legal home from Delaware to Texas. It remains the holding company for eXp Realty and its other businesses.
Can eXp agents join NextHome?
NextHome is a franchise run by broker-owners, so agents affiliate with a local NextHome brokerage. AGNT has not announced any special path linking eXp agents to NextHome. An agent moving between the two would follow the normal process for changing brokerages.
Did the AGNT change affect eXp revenue share?
The parent company name and ticker change did not change eXp’s revenue share program. Revenue share remains an eXp Realty program governed by eXp’s agreement and policies. AGNT has not announced any sharing of revenue share between eXp and NextHome.
Why This Matters
A parent company that runs several real estate models can shift strategy above the brokerage level, which makes understanding that structure part of an agent’s brokerage and sponsor decision. At eXp Realty, all agents receive the same core brokerage platform, including compliance, compensation, and access to company divisions. What differs is the sponsor ecosystem an agent aligns with.
The sponsor an agent selects shapes which tools, training, and attraction systems they have access to, including how clearly they explain parent company changes and what those changes mean for an agent’s plan. Agents weighing that choice should track what AGNT actually does next and compare the Smart Agent Alliance team value a sponsor brings.
