Mendoza, who built Keller Williams’ Northwest Region into 30 Market Centers and 3,500+ agents, brings his Arizona-based family team to eXp after 29 years.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — eXp Realty®, the most agent-centric™ real estate brokerage on the planet and the core subsidiary of AGNT, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGNT), today announced that former Major League Baseball player and longtime real estate leader Mike Mendoza has joined eXp Realty Luxury after 29 years with Keller Williams.
Mendoza brings more than four decades of real estate experience and approximately 6,500 transactions to his career. As founder and former Operating Principal of Keller Williams Northwest Region, he grew the company’s footprint across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska into a network of 30 Market Centers and more than 3,500 agents.
“Mike’s career is what happens when talent, discipline and an entrepreneurial mindset come together,” said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. “His decision to choose eXp after 29 years speaks volumes about where experienced leaders see the strongest opportunities for their teams and families. We are proud to welcome Mike, Jude, Josh and the entire Mendoza Team to eXp.”
Mendoza was introduced to eXp by longtime real estate friends Lou Ronayne and Gene Frederick. As he learned more about the company, he saw a platform equipped to help his family and team evolve alongside a rapidly changing industry.
“There is more opportunity for me, my son Josh, and the rest of our team with eXp,” Mendoza said. “It’s a cutting-edge company with technology that is also focused on agent support. I like the forward-looking mentality to help agents grow and succeed in a constantly shifting industry.”
Joining Mendoza at eXp are his wife and business partner, Jude Mendoza; his son, Josh Mendoza; and agents Rob Castellini, Cheryl Kvasnicka, Megan Bradley, Brad Turk and Taylor Turk. Together, the Ahwatukee-based Mendoza Team serves residential and luxury clients throughout Phoenix, the Valley and surrounding metropolitan areas.
Mendoza spent decades building offices and opportunities for thousands of agents. Now, he’s channeling that same focus into his own family’s team.
