Appointment of Russ Cofano as President and General Counsel
of eXp World Holdings, Inc.
On September 21, 2016, eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI;
“eXp” or the “Company”) appointed Russ Cofano as its President and General Counsel, effective immediately.
Prior to being appointed President and General Counsel of eXp World Holdings, Inc., Cofano was the Company’s Chief Strategy
Officer and General Counsel dating back to July 29, 2016.
Prior to joining eXp, Cofano was Senior Vice President of Industry
Relations for Move, Inc., operator of realtor.com from June 2014 through September 2015. At Move, Cofano was instrumental in reinvigorating
realtor.com’s relationship with MLSs and associations and was a key influencer in realtor.com product improvements. Prior
to Move, Cofano served as Chief Executive Officer for the Missouri REALTORS from June 2011 through June 2014. In just three short
years, Cofano super-charged the association with a re-energized staff, new strategic plan, innovative member focused governance
structure, private member-only social network, and implementation of a new governmental affairs program for local markets. Prior
to his stint in Missouri, Cofano was Vice President and General Counsel to Seattle-based John L. Scott Real Estate, consistently
ranked as one of the largest real estate brokerage companies in the nation, and helped JLS weather the great recession.
Cofano was also a private practice attorney for many years where
he advised a diverse client base on matters involving real estate brokerage, REALTOR associations, MLSs, technology and intellectual
Property, mergers and acquisitions, business transactions and franchising.
Cofano was born in December of 1960 and is a graduate of the
University of Washington, obtaining his B.A (Business Administration) in 1983 and his Juris Doctor in 1987.
Mr. Jason Gesing resigned as President of eXp World Holdings,
Inc. effective September 21, 2016. The Board of Directors accepted Mr. Gesing’s resignation as President of the Company and
thanked him for his dedicated service in that capacity during a period of significant growth. Mr. Gesing joined eXp Realty in 2010
and began serving as the Company’s President in October of 2013. Mr. Gesing continues to serve as the Chief Executive Officer
