Flying Keys Joins eXp UK to Drive South Wales Expansion
South Wales estate agency Flying Keys has joined eXp UK, moving its business onto the self-employed brokerage’s Team model as it seeks to expand across the region. The agency will continue to operate under the Flying Keys brand while leveraging eXp UK’s technology, training, and operational support.
Founded by Ryan and Lauren Fletcher, Flying Keys sells close to 300 homes a year across South Wales. Under the new arrangement, members of the existing Flying Keys team will join the eXp platform as self-employed agents. This model is designed to allow the business to recruit additional agents and broaden its geographical coverage without moving away from its established brand identity.
The move follows similar transitions by other agencies, including NAKED and Willmotts, which have also recently adopted the eXp Teams platform. The Team model enables estate agency businesses to retain their own identity while operating through the wider eXp brokerage.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the partnership highlights a growing trend of established agencies adopting new operational models to support expansion and agent recruitment, while maintaining their brand and customer service standards.
