Then Jeff will run through the company's first-quarter performance, highlighting some key operating and financial metrics. Dave will provide an update on the driving factors behind these incredible results, which is primarily agent growth, and specifically, what is driving eXp's success with rapidly gaining market share in the U.S. I'll kick off our Q&A session before opening up to submitted questions. With that, I'll pass it over to Glenn Sanford, eXp's Founder, Chairman, and CEO. Glenn. Hey, Greg. Hey, everyone. Thanks for coming this morning or actually this afternoon. It's been a really exciting first quarter or so of the year. You guys are here, actually in, those who are actually in w orld, you're actually in the new EXPI Campus, where in just under two weeks, we're going to actually do our eXp Shareholder Summit. This is a dedicated open-access campus, that you can actually access between now and then. It's being fitted out with lots of different breakouts. You may have looked through the navigation and saw a lot of the different spaces for various different activities that will take place during the Shareholder Summit. We invite everybody to come back and to attend the various meetings, breakouts, and other things that we'll be doing. It's going to be a really big event in the Virbela campus here, the EXPI Campus. Obviously you can review the cue. You've hopefully been following the company, understand the basic value proposition of the company, which really, we created the first truly cloud-based nationwide residential real estate brokerage in the history of residential real estate in the U.S. and beyond. We've now expanded to another 13 countries, and we've got plans to be in 20 countries by the end of the year. Michael Valdes, who spoke at these events in the past, has been really galvanizing the growth into multiple markets. Last week, we launched into Colombia, and then we also had a eXp launch event in Cabo San Lucas, which was one of the first real-life events that have been taking place sort of in a post-COVID world. One of the cool things about that particular event, and it's something to note, is that it was an entirely agent-led event. There was over 700 real estate agents, eXp agents, and brokers from around the country, as well as Mexico, that all ended up in Cabo to actually talk about how to improve as an agent, grow their business, help eXp grow. We as executives, actually all three of us on stage, were invited along with a number of other executives to the event. I say invited because it wasn't actually an eXp Realty event. There's actually another agent-led event next week in Scottsdale, and then there's another large one, and there's many others going around the country that are agent-led. There's a big one that will be taking place in August in Dallas, where there'll be thousands of people in attendance. In that, Tony Robbins will actually be attending. And what's, again, interesting to note is that the booking and the bringing in of Tony Robbins was an entirely agent-led activity. This really leads back to the agent value proposition. We turned the agent, the real estate brokerage proposition on its head when we launched eXp Realty in 2009, in that agents are incented to help us grow the brokerage. We don't have a large recruiting staff internally. We have a really significant concierge staff to help agents and brokers in all the life cycle of the business. We as an organization, have created the financial opportunities that go with attracting agents or recruiting agents, and by basically building some innovation around both the compensation through cash comp and then also equity comp in growing and being productive as an agent. We're continuing to get traction in a number of different service offerings. The one that I continue to come back to because I think it's the most innovative, it has a lot of legs to grow in the short run, is the Express Offers platform. You can check that out at expressoffers.com. We continue to get traction from a number of buyers and sellers to actually transact on the iBuyer front without any capital risk from us. More importantly, we're getting thousands of listing leads into the hands of agents to go and potentially actually list, put an eXp Realty sign out in the ground, to actually market those homes as fully marketed listings. I really couldn't be prouder of our collective team. Even though we're 100% mobile and remote, we're tremendously collaborative and supportive of so many different initiatives, and that really has resulted in lots of different innovations taking place inside the company. A lot of this is all led from our NPS first position. NPS, for those of you who are not aware, stands for Net Promoter Score. There's a lot of great books that have been written about Net Promoter Score. Between Net Promoter Score and our agile management structure, we're really designed as an organization to innovate and deliver services that agents are asking for without having to use a more top-down management style. Obviously, there's always a little bit of top-down, but we really foster innovation and collaboration all the way into our small, somewhat self-organized teams to help agents and brokers just continue to generate the incomes that they do, to be able to build a business inside the business, and to ultimately create a retirement program inside of real estate. Of course, that goes all the way from the real estate brokerage side to things that are a little bit more innovative. We were the first company to build out a nationwide healthcare option for independent contractors, with our partnership with Clearwater Benefits. All of this leads to leveraging also our enabling technology, Virbela. Obviously, we're in here today, but we've been able to leverage and stand up and to innovate in so many different ways across the globe. We're able to quickly set up space, form teams, have them even be cross-country collaborative. As opposed to most companies, they work with staff only in country for standing up various parts of the business. We can actually work multi-country, multilingual, all inside this campus, and that's allowed us to stand up multiple enterprises and to actually convert existing legacy enterprises into more virtual enterprises. SUCCESS Enterprises that we bought last year is now entirely virtual. We've just launched, and we haven't provided a lot of press around it, but we've launched our first co-work brand underneath the SUCCESS brand. It's called SUCCESS Space, and you can actually find out more information about it at successfranchise.com. We also have SUCCESS Coaching, that's stood up. It's starting to be revenue producing. We've got a speakers bureau. We've obviously got the magazine, digital, and then we've got a number of apps now, that are either in the various app stores or about to go in the app stores for various parts of the SUCCESS Enterprises piece. We've been selling lots of events and lots of private events and private campuses on the Virbela platform from the Virbela team. That team is now about 185 people on the Virbela team, including one really cool platform that was developed basically from scratch inside of Virbela, and that is the framevr.io platform. There's a lot of cool innovations coming out of that. I'm throwing out a few URLs. Hopefully, you go back, listen to the audio, grab some of these URLs, type them in, check them out. They're actually really cool technologies. They have a lot of upside. I think a lot of innovation. We've got so much stuff in the XR space and VR space that is super innovative, all of this is really the enabling technology that's allowed eXp to scale to where it's scaled. I think with that, let me turn this over to our CFO and Chief Collaboration Officer, Jeff Whiteside. All right. Thank you very much, Glenn and Greg. Welcome all to our first quarter 2021 earnings fireside chat. First page that you'll see here is a summary level of our performance, and we really delivered very strong performance in Q1. When you look at our key financial metrics, you look at one of our big ones is revenue. Our revenue in Q1 was $583.8 million. That's a growth of 150% versus last year at this time. Our gross profit was $53.5 million. That's up 91%. Net income was $4.8, and as you can see, that's favorable over 3,000% growth year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA $14.8 million, and that's a growth of 159% year-over-year. Finally, our operating cash flow was $40.6 million, and that is up 184% year-over-year. Going to the next slide, we'll go into more details on our quarterly key metrics. It's a slight eye chart, but I can take you through this. Our key metrics, what you're seeing here is you're seeing two categories. One is our operating metrics and one is our financial metrics. Pretty much what happens in our business is our operating metrics drive our financial metrics. Our operating metrics are the agent count, the units sold, the price per unit, and the volume sold. If you look at some of our numbers, we ended Q1 in 2021 at 50,333 agents, and that's versus 28,449. Our agent count was up 77% year-over-year. Our units sold was 73,878 versus 37,882, and that was up 95% year-over-year. Our price per unit was $332,000 on average versus $290. As we all know, a lot of changes in the market, the prices have gone up. Our prices of what we sold in our company was up 14%. Our volume, which is a total sales volume of our units, was $25 billion, and that's versus $11 billion in Q1 of 2020, and that's up 123%. On the right-hand side, our model is adding productive agents to the platform. It's driving unit sales, volume, gross commission. We have at the bottom of our press release that our total agent count as of today or this morning was at 53,000 globally. We're growing very healthy, and we're going to go through that and kind of take you through some of the key growth areas. Currently, as we know, the vast majority of our agents are in the U.S. and Dave is going to take us through. If you just go back one slide, please. Dave is going to take us through the U.S. and what's driving the U.S. Behind it is our global expansion that we've heard a lot about. Down the road, that's going to drive significant incremental agent growth outside the U.S. in the future. What you're going to see today, I think what we saw in the quarter, was an extremely strong U.S. performance. We saw that the whole second half, once we got past Q2 of last year. Q3, Q4, Q1 has been fantastic from a U.S. standpoint. Going down to the financial metrics, our revenue, as you saw on the first page, was $584 million versus $271. The growth is up 115%. If you look at our numbers, I'll show you on the next page, we're not going there yet. The next page is going to show you we're very strong from a revenue and a growth standpoint, pre, during, and post-COVID. The model was built at a very strong before, and as we go down the road, you'll see some of the trends, and we feel great about going forward. The cost of revenue was $530 million versus $243 million, and that gives us a gross margin. The gross margin in dollars was $53 million in Q1 versus $28 million in Q1 of 2020. As a percentage, the gross margin was 9.2% of sales versus 10.3%. A couple of things. One is that the $53 million in gross margin was a record dollar gross margin for our company. This is the highest amount of gross margin we've ever generated in the history of the company. What we can see in the marketplace is that usually Q1 is a lower volume-type quarter historically, but a lot of things have changed. With unseasonable increase in volume, it kind of resulted in a higher capping and a pressure on our gross margin percentages. The percentages were down year-over-year, but the dollar volume was way up at $53 million. SG&A, which is our costs, $49 million we spent versus $28 million. How we look at that is we look at productivity. As a percentage of revenue, our percentage of SG&A was 8.3% versus 10.2% last year. All right? That gave us productivity gain. As we scale, we're getting more and more productivity through our SG&A. Operating income, $4.9 million versus $0.2 million last year. Our net income was $4.8 million versus $0.2 million of last year. We've had positive net income each quarter since Q4 2019. The adjusted EBITDA number is kind of more of the-- it's a number, it's described, and we have a definition in all our documents. Basically what we're doing is how does the business really operate from a cash standpoint and a non-cash standpoint? Our adjusted EBITDA was $15 million versus $6 million, so we're up 167% year-over-year, and we have been positive on the EBITDA side since Q3 of 2018. Lastly, operating cash flow. We generated $41 million in operating cash flow versus $14 million. The cash at the end of the period in the business was $104 million versus $44 million. Why this is important, and if you've heard me talk before, it's a huge positive for our business, because positive cash flow, this is positive cash flow after all the expenses, the investments, and our stock buyback. We actually bought back about $34 million in stock in the quarter. All right. We've had that in place since January 19th to offset dilution, and at the same time, we have a zero debt balance on the balance sheet. Those are our metrics. A couple of questions that came up today in terms of our productivity. Although eXp is a comparable agent productivity to national averages, if we compare our productivity, our agent productivity, year-over-year, the productivity was up 13% for our company year-over-year. Now, if we take a look at our growth trends in agents and revenue since Q1 2016 through Q1 2021, you can see the chart. It's a fantastic chart. eXp has had phenomenal agent revenue growth. All right? I will give you a bit of a shortcut on this, but I'll give you something to put our growth in perspective. What this chart is showing you is that if I just take 2018, for instance, we did $500 million in revenue. We ended with 15,500 agents. 2019, we did $980 million in revenue. We ended with 25,400 agents. 2020, we did $1.8 billion. We ended at 41,300 agents. All the way coming to today in this quarter in Q1 of 2021, our agent growth year-over-year, as I've shown you, is up 77%. We're now at 53,000 agents, and our total revenue is $584. Again, to put a little bit perspective in here, we did $500 million in the entire year in 2018. We did $584 million in the first quarter of 2021. Consistent agent growth, delivering consistent revenue, consistent growth, and consistent profitability. We feel very proud of what we've done across the whole business. We've talked a lot about our growth in future areas. We've talked about international a lot. We've talked about potential commercial. We've talked about our technologies. In this quarter, and really the story of this quarter and most of last year too is really how strong our core growth in the U.S. is. I'm going to introduce Dave Conord, who has 20 years+ in the real estate industry, and all the way from an agent to running large brokerages. Dave runs our growth team. I'd like to invite Dave up right now to talk about really what's driving, why are we so successful, why are so many agents coming to us in the U.S., and what's driving our success. Dave, welcome. Great. Thanks, Jeff. All right. Welcome again to everyone. We're really thrilled about our accelerating agent growth. We've now outpaced prior quarters for three straight quarters. Coming off a record year in 2020 with over 5,500 agents added in Q1 alone, we carried that momentum into Q1 2021, we doubled our gross agent adds exceeding 11,000. We focused on attracting independent brokerages and top teams to maximize revenue. We added to our base agent growth 51 brokerages and 63 teams for more than $4.9 billion additional transaction volume in Q1. Let's cover the primary drivers for our growth. The value we provide as a brokerage increases as we scale and attract more agents. Our agent growth model is also exponential in nature, which allows us to continually scale larger year after year. This network effect is driving our growth and increasing the value that we can deliver to our agents. As more agents join, the collaboration and knowledge sharing really has been incredible. We're also committed to success at the highest level, attracting producers and ensuring that their satisfaction every step of the way, from their initial onboarding to helping them build their businesses here at eXp. I spoke with one of our agents yesterday who shared his path from closing $8 million when he joined eXp back in 2018 to closing over $100 million last year, and he's on track to double that this year. He credits access to other top producers through our platform as the key to his phenomenal business growth. Lastly, our agent-centric value proposition focuses on collaboration, compensation, and cloud-based tools, attracting some of the best agents in the country. Our steadfast commitment to our agents is really one of our strongest differentiators. At eXp, we're very proud to be the most agent-centric brokerage on the planet. Our unique value proposition and cloud-based environment enables agents to work from anywhere, anytime, freeing agents from geographical constraints and empowering them to collaborate with and learn from other top producers around the globe. This innovative platform allows eXp to deliver a multifaceted compensation model and generous commission structure, differentiates eXp from other brokerages, and empowers our agents with multiple ways to earn income and achieve their personal goals as they build their business. Our community is unparalleled. The nature of our collaboration and compensation models encourages agents to actively support each other and share best practices, challenges, and successes. Through eXp World, our agents connect daily with their peers, and they develop relationships that transcend that virtual environment. We know that a brokerage is more than just a place to hang your license. At eXp, our agents and our staff are family, and we're proud of the strong and diverse community that continues to grow here. Now I'll hand it back over to Greg for Q&A. Thank you, Dave. Appreciate it, everyone. Here, let me just pop up here. Up here. I'd like to kick it off with a couple of questions, and maybe the first one can be directed at Dave, and the other speakers can jump in as they'd like. The first question I'll kick it off with is, what are you hearing from agents in terms of what they are experiencing with the continued supply-demand imbalance? I know the market's been red hot, but just curious to know if you have any thoughts there, Dave. Every kind of market represents its own challenges, right? Our agents are incredibly creative, and they're connected within their communities. They really have been resourceful in identifying sellers that are not yet on the market. They're creating opportunities to match buyers with homes in their chosen neighborhoods and communities. Multiple offers and escalation clauses continue to be the norm in this market currently. The market really requires agents to be skilled and prepared. Fortunately, our platform provides over 50 hours of training every week. They have access to it 24/7, so our agents really are prepared to continue serving their clients and meet those challenges. Great. Thank you, Dave. This question is directed at Glenn. I know there's a really serious focus on Net Promoter Scores at eXp. Net Promoter Score looks like it's continued to increase during the first quarter, up from last year again. You guys have done a great job there. Can you maybe talk to us about why this is tracked so closely internally, and what does it tell us about the agent base as the NPS improves? Yeah. For me, I track as my single most important key metric, Net Promoter Score. There was a couple books that I read a number of years ago, Stephen Denning's "The Leader's Guide to Radical Management," and then the book, "The Ultimate Question 2.0." Once I sort of internalized why it's so powerful as a tool, it really allows us as an organization to actually serve the needs of agents more intimately through one basic question, which is, on a scale of zero to 10, how likely it is that you would refer a friend or colleague to join eXp Realty? That's one of the questions. We also ask that in numerous different places in the agent lifecycle, "How was the transaction? How was the training? How was your onboarding experience? We get real-time data that we're able to actually use to actually improve the process for the next agent that comes through that particular process. It gives us really great data around that, and it allows us as an organization to circle the customer rather than trying to just sell to customers. By providing service to customers, which in our case, are our agents, it makes us as an organization more valuable to them. Then as a result, eXp is just much more sticky. In the early stages, I referred to myself as a focus group of one, which is great when you're starting a company, but eventually, you want to be able to listen as intently as possible to your actual agents. Of course, you've seen the numbers, and we published them, but we're in the 70s now, which we've seen historically, when we're above 70, we're growing very fast. We're very sticky. We have low attrition. That for us, when those numbers are up there in the 70+ category, all of our jobs are easier as a management team and as staff, which actually makes eXp a more enjoyable place to work than when there's a lot of chaos and there's a lot of agents having challenges. It's good for the agents. It's good for us, staff-wise, and so it's just a great way to operate a company. Good stuff. Yeah, you guys have just done an awesome job there. Maybe a question for Jeff, then I'll pull a few from the Slido Q&A. Jeff, I think we were looking at this, and you bought back $34 million of stock during the first quarter, which is actually larger than the total authorization of the buyback program when it was first initiated. Clearly, you guys have stepped that up as you've grown. This is maybe a good opportunity to walk people through and maybe remind us on what your philosophy is around managing the repurchases and how you're thinking about that going forward. Yep, absolutely. We get a lot of feedback from investors. Since I've been here, and I'm sure from Glenn's early days, about dilution in the stock. A big part of our agent value proposition is to provide agent ownership, equity ownership in the company. It's massive. It's a big deal for us. The investors' concern was dilution. Basically, what we've done with the buyback, Greg, our goal is to offset the agent equity awards from a dilution standpoint. After we get to the end of this year, our goal is to have zero dilution from the awards that we've given out as part of our model. It works for both sides, and we're very happy. We think it's a great investment with our cash. We look at our cash balance, and we make sure that we have the proper amount of cash to invest in the company to grow, and we believe we have that. We have a limit in terms of what we want to make sure we have, and anything above and beyond that goes for the buyback. The goal is to offset the dilution, and that's kind of what we're working on this year. Great. Really helpful. Dave, maybe just a couple more questions for you as well. I guess the question is, what are we seeing now that we're over a month into the second quarter here? I guess, have you been surprised with some of the dynamics of the U.S. residential real estate industry, and what do you foresee happening as we look out throughout the rest of 2021? Sure. Yeah, Greg, we're seeing the usual seasonality of the market. It's strengthened by a general shuffling of homeownership in many markets as a result from all the work from home opportunities caused by the COVID pandemic. After last year, everything's a little bit different. First of all, we continue to be really impressed by the resiliency of our agents. They've really responded well to the changes in the market. A combination of historically low rates, and increasing home equity is really continuing to create demand. We anticipate the market will remain strong. Okay. Very helpful. Obviously, there's just such a major market share opportunity here in the U.S. that remains. We talked a little bit about the U.S. growth and international growth, just maybe if you could comment briefly on balancing your approach to entering new markets, with continuing to capture market share in the U.S., specifically in the U.S. Some comments maybe on how you're moving into more urban areas, densely populated areas, if you could. Sure. Yeah. I mean, fortunately with our model, it really allows us to expand into the other new markets, internationally with speed and comparatively low capital investment. It really doesn't impinge our ability to grow here domestically. Our model is different from a franchise model or a larger structured model or even an independent brokerage model, where there has to be economies of scale in order for it to work. They have to have a certain agent count and a certain production amount to drive the revenue to make it worthwhile to have the physical space, the staffing, the leadership and the management, et cetera, all of the costs that go along with that. Where we can drop into virtually any market in the United States, large or small, and pick up a single realtor. There may be a spot, in a more remote area, where maybe there are cattle farms, valuable land, but not enough space to have a lot of realtors in that area. We're able to go in there and find the top agents and the agents doing business there and have them be on our platform without having to invest large amounts of money and resources and staff to be able to serve that. That really opens up the entire U.S. to us. It's easy for us to go into any city or any rural area and everywhere in between. Really, our growth is unlimited for those spots. Thank you, Dave. Yeah, Glenn, a couple questions directed at you from myself and from the Slido presentation. The SUCCESS acquisition was really interesting in that you've continued to focus on personal development, especially for your agent base. Would you mind talking a little bit about how that's folded into the eXp ecosystem? Then, maybe sort of what's changed in a major way since coming under the umbrella of eXp? Yeah. We've been mailing the magazine since 2019 to all of our agents. It may be 2018, we may have started sending that out. It really was because it was something physical, from eXp that showed that we cared about our agents. We did it on our own dime to kind of reinforce personal development as something that is important in sales and in life for that matter. With that, obviously, came the opportunity to acquire the magazine. Since then, Ted Laatz, who's in the room here with us today, in the audience, but he and a number of people have been working on extending the brand beyond the magazine and the digital history that it's had into things that are additive to the real estate industry indirectly. One of those is, and this is one I'm really excited about, is the SUCCESS co-work franchise. As broker owners in the residential real estate space work to convert their real estate office to eXp in a cloud-based way, the question is, what do I do with my space? What do I do with my office? With the SUCCESS Space co-work opportunity, for those who have the right type of space, it creates a way that they can actually go and convert it to a 125-year-old personal development brand that re-imagines the coworking space to actually provide coaching, training, and help to entrepreneurs and others. It creates a really unique ecosystem. We talked about the speakers bureau, we talked about some of the other things that are core to SUCCESS. We're also looking at what are the lever points to reinforce the eXp brand proposition and looking at how it ties to luxury, how it ties to rewards and recognition. There's a lot of different overlaps. Of course, I'd be remiss not to mention that we've now started to build relationships with other people, huge influencers, because of our association with SUCCESS. Not the least of which is Grant Cardone and all the things he's doing. Part of the attraction to the eXp Realty model was, in fact, the fact that eXp is now the owner of SUCCESS Magazine. There's opportunities to do things with big influencers in the residential real estate space that normally wouldn't take place without writing really big checks. It's kind of giving us a sort of under-the-radar marketing platform to actually get other influencers into the eXp ecosystem to provide coaching, training, and support to our agents, brokers around the world. That's great, Glenn. Thank you. A question from Slido. As we're talking about other sort of segments within the eXp umbrella, what other clients is Virbela working with right now? Any notable that have sort of popped up and how is it helping to bridge the gap as more companies, schools, and day-to-day activities are still remote? Yeah. We're now in a position where the offering last year at this time, Virbela was just one of many technologies that companies were scrambling to try in the short run to solve for the fact that all of their employees were home. There weren't events that they could do in real life. They still wanted to try to figure out some sort of event. Last year was all about sort of brainstorming around how do you do a remote organization? What are the stuff you put together? Obviously Zoom is still probably the predominant way that people are doing meetings. What we've found now is that we've finally matured the offering. We've got great relationships with PwC, HTC. We've got, obviously, Stanford has been with us for quite some time, but we've got lots of big events, and a lot of the big tech companies are now looking at using it for parts of their organizations. Our client base is starting to actually get some depth rather than just a shallow, we need something right now to, wow, this thing actually has some legs and has some potential. We're starting to see some of the bigger contracts that we had hoped for last year starting to be more noticeable and those conversations are going further into actually getting done. We had to do a lot of stuff around InfoSec, information security. That was a big one, especially when we're talking to the likes of these large organizations that have these big security audits. We've had to do a lot of things around that. That's been a big part of the engineering. We're also developing new tech to make this more deployable as we continue to scale. We've got kind of the group of 50 or so relatively large clients. You can certainly go on virbela.com r ead about some of their case studies there. It's continuing to flow out. Jeff, you know some of the other clients, some of the clients as well. Yeah. One thing that's really interesting is that a large percentage of their customers are coming from overseas. All right. We have people in Japan, we got people in Korea, we got people all over Europe, actually, and now we're in Asia. That was really interesting because I think a lot of those countries are really moving towards this type of work. What I'm seeing, Glenn, is that as we talk through bigger customers and we talk more and more about this is still the only platform that exists end-to-end, where you can run your entire business and scale it globally like we do at eXp. I think the other thing I'd mention too is that as we form new partnerships in our companies, SUCCESS as an example, but there's a lot more on the horizon. They start looking at this and they're saying, "Wow, this is a great way to work." We're building it up that way too. Right. Really helpful. This is actually a really interesting segue into the next set of questions, and I'm not sure who this would be directed at, but I'll say it and let maybe Dave jump in or Glenn in. The question is, how do you decide which country to enter in eXp Global? Then just sort of as a follow-up and a tag-along to that, how are you ensuring that the agents in new markets get sort of the same sort of support as agents in the U.S.? Yeah, I can jump on that. The selecting of countries is, Michael Valdes, who ran international for Realogy for quite a number of years, has a really deep experience in international growth. The interesting thing is that when he joined us, he joined us right sort of as COVID was taking place, and he didn't have to jump on a plane. He was typically on a plane and traveling 150- 200 days a year in his previous role. He's been able to open all the countries that he's opened up since he's been here without getting on a plane going to those countries. Because of our eXp World, we're able to co-collaborate in real-time as if we were in real life in each of these countries. He selects the countries, makes sure it fits the model, makes sure that we've got the right leadership in place in those countries, makes sure that we've got the right staff, contracts, works with our legal team, makes sure all the legal and everything else is done, which in reality is a fairly inexpensive lift for the amount of potential benefit that we're bringing into the marketplace. We've got definitely work that we do, but it's really a collaborative effort to find the right leadership, make sure that the countries are large enough for us to go and do the heavy lifting, which isn't that heavy. That's how he prioritizes is which ones are going to have the biggest impact, and where can we make the biggest impact in the shortest period of time. Our goal is eventually to be in 100 countries. This year we'll be in 20. Next year, we'll probably add another, 10, 15, 20 countries next year. Within the next four to five years, we could be in 100 countries and then be scaling. Our ability to scale, because of the way we use all these collaborative technologies, is pretty easy. Really, the language barrier is probably the biggest challenge is just making sure we've got a great way to translate and to understand culturally what real estate's like in other countries, so we can make sure our systems match up with what the customary process is. That's incredible and very helpful. Thank you for that. A question related to G&A for you, Jeff. One of the analysts wants to know just a sense of what G&A expense dollar growth is likely to be for calendar year 2021. Yeah. When we look at 2021, we look at kind of percentages. I think we're looking at somewhere around a percentage of eight point, no, around, I'm sorry, probably somewhere around the 6.5% overall for the year. That's kind of what we talked about a little bit this morning. We're leveraging as the revenue goes up, but we used to be at 10.3%, right? The company was much higher for logical reasons. We are getting productivity, and we see this year the SG&A number coming in somewhere around 6.6%-6.5%. That's kind of what we're targeting. Again, one thing I want to make clear is that if we have an opportunity to grow and a lot of our growth is being hit on the SG&A line, so international growth, commercial growth, we're going to do that. We are doing it. If we have an opportunity to invest now for a bigger return in the future, we'll do that. We are getting leverage, and the leverage looks like it's going to get us to somewhere around 6.6% of revenue this year. That's a really good point, Jeff. I've seen the company over the last several years do this quite a bit, just think strategically and invest, and ultimately it's paid off and helped us achieve the growth we've seen today and continue to see. Really good segue into the next question. I think from an M&A perspective, Glenn, are there any areas you're specifically prioritizing and things that you're searching for that could potentially be in the next 12-24 months? Well, we're continuing to look for products and services that could help agents sell more real estate. Obviously, on an international basis, there's a lot of different tools, technologies, and companies that may be able to go country to country, but because of the way that countries operate totally differently, may not get the understanding of the different markets that we might in operating in multiple countries. I could see us acquiring some tech platforms that help us create an analog to an MLS in these other countries. Like Mexico, for instance, and as a lot of countries are, real estate's a fairly fragmented business. It's not well organized from a personnel perspective, and in some cases, and Mexico's one of those countries where in a lot of the country, there's no licensing requirements attached to it. With that, we see some reasons why certain tech might benefit the organization of real estate in a way that actually makes real estate more accessible to consumers, but also the profession of real estate be more organized from an agent perspective. There's a number of them. CRMs are certainly always top of mind for me. I'm always looking for something innovative on the CRM front. We want to be able to integrate with all the other systems that we're building internally. We're investing heavily in automation of the transaction management workflow. That's going to be something that hopefully by first quarter of 2022, we're going to be able to roll out some automation that just helps the agent using some AI, some image recognition, data processing, machine learning. We think we can streamline a lot of the sales process. Those are the types of things. We could be looking at things in the title and escrow space. Mobile notaries would be another space that would be kind of cool to be involved in and thinking about the entire vertical chain in the residential real estate space. Right. Okay. Yeah. Obviously, everything you're looking at is to accelerate growth or increase margin in some capacity. That's helpful. Really the last question I'd like to sort of weave things off with, and this is for anyone to comment, but sort of long-term goalposts. I think a lot of people are wondering, and I've gotten this question a bunch of times here. What do you expect the company to look like in 5-10 years? This could be related to profitability, revenues, agents on the platform, countries you're in, just sort of an open floor, and curious to know what you think about that. Well, it's one where you do the math, obviously we get pretty large into the hundreds of thousands of agents on a worldwide basis. For that, I think the continued emergence of ideas from self-organized teams inside of eXp to become its own city, for all intents and purposes, with all the products and services that an agent and their clients could want. That's where we think about eXp as being a platform. It's a platform for real estate professionals. It's also a platform to support real estate professionals and their clients and to create an ecosystem where people can participate in various different ways. The way I think about it is this 500,000 people will eventually on the platform. I might be ambitious to say that that's a five-year goal, but someplace in the next 10 years, we'll certainly be something akin to that. I mean, just thinking about all of the various different places where we can allow innovation to take place and to provide a platform for people to innovate on all kinds of parts of the value stream, from coaching, training, lead gen, to relocation companies, to unique title and escrow offerings, to mortgage, to all of this stuff. It's on the verge of starting to emerge. I think if we look out two more quarters, we'll start to see some of these actually taking root and then also creating some fruits from what's going on. So ExpressOffers would be like one of those first ones, where it was a unique offering. We're the first ones to kind of bring this unique way of aggregating buyers into a platform to create an iBuyer-like experience. We've got a number of other pieces on the SUCCESS side and how it integrates with it, how the Frame VR piece integrates with it, and being able to set up virtual offices for mortgage companies and title escrow companies and other things in the residential real estate space. I think all of this creates a different ecosystem when we start to look out a couple of years from now that we'll just look different. Great. Well, I guess I'll stop there and make a general comment that I personally believe it's amazing what you guys have been able to accomplish. Your agent-first approach has created some massive opportunities, not only for the agents, but clearly for the company as a whole. Congratulations to the entire eXp team on the company's continued explosive growth. With that, maybe I'll turn to you, Glenn, for some closing comments. Sure. I got at least one direct question. Somebody messed with me. Just asking, one of the questions was around the upcoming shareholder vote around the authorized shareholder increase to 900 million shares. I just want to touch on that because I do get this question quite a bit. Like, doesn't that dilute the company? It actually, all it is just the number of shares the company has available to it to use for various purposes. When we did the stock split a couple months back, we could only do a two for one stock split because our authorized was such that we couldn't do more than that, even though the stock was trading, at that time, around $70 a share. By doing a stock split, effectively brought us to $35. We felt internally that maybe getting it back into a range of around $20 a share would have been more ideal. We're blocked on our ability to do that just because our current authorized didn't allow for that. By having that extra flexibility, it's not dilutive in any way other than if we went and bought somebody with equity, or we use that, and that would then be the dilutive factor. We would do that from a business case perspective, not a "dilutive perspective". When you do a stock split, there's actually no dilution on a percentage basis. It's simply a increase in the number of shares, and that makes it better for our stock programs for our agents and brokers. I just want to address that one because that one came direct to me and address that. To wrap this up, first of all, thanks everyone for coming. I know that I'm honored. I know that all of us are at eXp are honored to grow this company on behalf of our agents, brokers, staff, consumers, and ultimately, if we do a great job, it's going to reward us all as collective shareholders well. That's really our focus is to build a great company, recognizing that over time, that will provide the results to everyone that everyone's looking for in being involved in what we're doing. It really comes down to iterating around the agent value proposition. We truly want eXp Realty to be the most agent-centric real estate brokerage on the planet, where agents literally would be irresponsible not to have their license with us. Not just financially irresponsible, but just the way that we're supporting them collaboratively and through all the different innovations that we do here. Obviously, it extends to the other companies as well. These are all companies that synergistically work together to deliver this value proposition and then extend that into other spaces and other industries. Our primary goal is to build the largest real estate brokerage brand, not based on trying to get agents, but by trying to create the best agent experience, and get there through innovating around that agent value prop. Want to thank everybody for coming. Looking forward to seeing many of you here in just a week and a half or so at our eXp Shareholder Summit, which will be back in the eXp World that you're in now. We'll have expos, we'll have a lot of keynotes. We'll have, obviously, our shareholder meeting, which I think is actually technically only about 45 minutes long. Inside of the three days in eXp World and a couple of days in real life in different parts of the country, there's going to be a lot of stuff that you're going to be exposed to and hopefully get a chance to rub shoulders with agents, brokers, staff. Ask questions, learn more about what we're doing to really change the business in favor of the agent, give them something that ultimately allows them to thrive and grow as individuals and as real estate professionals. With that, I'll sign off. Thanks, Jeff. Thanks, Dave. Thanks, Greg. Unless anybody else has got anything else to say. No, I think we're good. Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Thank you, guys. Thanks, everyone, for being here. Thanks, everyone. Yeah. Thank you.
