Today, I'm talking to Michael Valdes, the Executive Vice President of International Expansion at EXP Realty. Michael's main role at EXP is building on the current footprint of Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom and growing exponentially into other international markets. Before EXP, Michael was a senior vice president of Global Servicing for Realogy Corporation, where he oversaw the international servicing platform for all Realogy brands, including Century 21, Coldwell Banker, ERA, Better Homes & Garden, Corcoran, Climb, and Sotheby’s International Realty in 113 countries. Michael was with Realogy in a variety of roles for 15 years. And before his career in real estate, he was the director of private banking at Deutsche bank for just under a decade. There, he oversaw a book of business of just under $1 billion. Needless to say, Michael knows abundance. What Michael also knows his humble beginnings. Before coming to the United States, Michael's father was a political prisoner of Cuba. Michael grew up in a family where they worked hard for everything they had most inspiring about Michael is that he is warm. He's loving he's giving, and he clearly knows just one mindset. The mindset of abundance.
