Brokerage leader eXp Realty isn’t slowing down its expansion in 2025. The company announced on Wednesday the addition of brokerage leader Abel Gilbert and ONEPATH Realty to its growing global network.
ONEPATH Realty may be an independent brokerage, but it’s no stranger to posting big numbers. The Miami-based brokerage has closed $1.77 billion in sales since Gilbert founded it in 2018. That number includes $187.2 million in closed home sales in 2024 alone, totaling 312 units
Gilbert also brings leadership experience that goes beyond his brokerage. The leader still serves as a Zillow Agent Advisory Board member since starting in 2021. In addition, Gilbert served as president of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) and residential governor for Miami REALTORS. Per his LinkedIn, Gilbert was also a broker associate with RE/MAX Advance Realty from 2015 to 2017.
Adding Gilbert and ONEPATH Realty furthers eXp’s efforts to expand its growth trajectory in 2024, company leaders said.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Abel Gilbert and ONEPATH Realty to eXp,” said eXp Realty CEO Leo Pareja said in a prepared statement. “Abel leads his team with an entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to excellence, qualities that align perfectly with eXp Realty’s values. His decision highlights the power of our platform to inspire leaders, foster collaboration, and support extraordinary growth for ONEPATH Realty.”
Gilbert echoed that excitement, praising eXp Realty for empowering his team with the best tools to succeed in the market.
“This is an exciting new chapter for us,” said Gilbert. “I’ve always been passionate about providing my agents with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive. eXp offers unmatched resources that empower agents to build not just successful careers, but lasting legacies. Their innovative tools, support, legal protection, and highly efficient staff make it an easy choice for any broker-owner or team leader.”
“Joining eXp is a no-brainer, and I’m excited for what it means for all of us at ONEPATH Realty,” he added. “We’re ready to take full advantage of this incredible opportunity to grow and thrive together.”
This move follows a trend of recruitments made by eXp Realty this winter. In late December, the company recruited Kris Caldwell and The Apollo Group, a high-producing Colorado-based team. eXp Realty also added superstar agent Joshua Smith weeks before.
