In his new role, Paine will be responsible for representing eXp in the real estate industry as well as collaborating with current and potential partners.

Cameron’s experience will advance eXp Realty’s goal of creating strong relationships among the entire real estate ecosystem.”
Paine has been recognized by Inman News as one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in Real Estate.” He was the founding CEO of the Connecticut Multiple Listing Service (MLS), and just last year was able to engineer a successful merger between his company and a neighboring one to create SmartMLS.

Additionally, he has served on the board of directors for the Council of Multiple Listing Services and on advisory councils for Realtor.com and Trulia.
