Former mixed martial arts champion and top-producing agent expands his high-performing team at eXp Realty, leveraging the brokerage’s innovative model to fuel growth and excellence.

BELLINGHAM, Wash., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp Realty^®, “the most agent-centric real estate brokerage on the planet™” and the core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), is proud to welcome Tim Stout and the Tim Stout Group of Newnan, Georgia to eXp, bringing 16 agents who closed more than $70 million in sales on 208 units in 2024.

Stout is a former mixed martial arts champion who turned to real estate sales in 2012, growing from an individual agent to building a team specializing in residential sales and high-net-worth investors.

Stout was introduced to eXp Realty by real estate powerhouse Brandon Brittingham, whose success in investing inspired him.

"At first, I wasn’t considering a move, but the more I learned, the more it made sense," said Stout. "Brandon has built an incredible investing business, and proximity to leaders like him is the fastest way for me to grow. eXp’s model provides unmatched support, cutting-edge technology, and a collaborative environment that allows my team to scale while maintaining exceptional service."

"Tim Stout represents the kind of disciplined, high-performance leadership that thrives at eXp Realty,” said eXp Realty CEO Leo Pareja. “His relentless drive and focus on team growth align perfectly with our mission. We are thrilled to welcome Tim and his team and look forward to supporting their continued success."

Stout’s transition from combat sports to real estate is a testament to his discipline and tenacity. Raised in a modest 900-square-foot home in Tennessee with six siblings, he learned early on that success comes from hard work. After a decorated career in mixed martial arts, he sought a new challenge where effort and results were directly correlated.

"I knew I was a hard worker and wanted to be rewarded for my dedication," said Stout. "Real estate was the perfect fit because it allows me to put in the work and see the results firsthand."

Beyond real estate, Stout remains deeply involved in his community. As co-founder of Apex Predator Training, he provides self-defense education and offers free training sessions for local law enforcement every Wednesday. His leadership extends beyond business, focusing on mentorship and agent development.

"In fighting, success meant outmatching my opponent. In real estate, success is about delivering the best service and results for my clients. Now, as a leader, my priority is ensuring my agents provide an unmatched experience," Stout said.
