$150M Sarasota real estate firm merges with global agency

A real estate firm based in downtown Sarasota that generated $150 million in sales last year has merged with eXp Realty, which has more than 85,000 agents worldwide.

Living Vogue Real Estate is now brokered by eXp Realty, a move officials say will allow the firm to scale the business while maintaining the boutique culture it has developed since its founding in 2019.

“We built something special, but the behind-the-scenes work of running a brokerage became overwhelming,” Mark Coppens, chairman and founder of Living Vogue, says in a statement. “With eXp Realty, we get to keep our unique brand and culture while offloading the operational burden. It’s the best of both worlds.”
