Two of America's Top Teams Just Merged Into a $1 Billion Super Team. Here's What It Means.
In August 2025, Kyle Whissel and Daniel Beer merged their two San Diego operations into a single team under eXp Realty. Both were already at eXp. This was not a recruiting win; it was two large teams deciding they were worth more combined than separate.
The numbers and quotes come from eXp Realty's announcement of the merger.
What eXp reported
- Roughly $1 billion in combined 2024 sales volume
- 160 agents and 60 support staff in the unified structure
- Five offices across San Diego
- 9,000+ homes sold and $7 billion+ in volume across both careers
Those last two are career totals published by eXp. We have not independently verified them, and neither should you.
Seven years of working together first
As of the 2025 announcement, Whissel and Beer had spent seven years running the Fast Forward Movement together — a training and community organisation eXp described as having more than 11,000 members. They merged businesses only after that.
"For the past seven years, Kyle and I have partnered through the Fast Forward Movement, and that collaboration has been better than we ever imagined. Now, we're taking that partnership to the next level." — Daniel Beer, president of Whissel Beer Group, quoted in eXp Realty's announcement.
"This merger is about building something bigger that helps our agents go further, faster." — Kyle Whissel, CEO of Whissel Beer Group, in the same release.
Why the sequence matters more than the size
The order of operations is the useful part. They collaborated publicly for seven years, then merged. Most team mergers that fail do so because the leaders discover their operating standards diverge after the paperwork is signed, not before.
If you are considering a merger or an acquisition of a smaller team, the structural questions are the same at any size: who owns the leads, how the split ladder is unified, what happens to the two databases, and what the exit looks like for each principal. Our eXp teams page covers how these structures are defined, and team growth covers the leadership tracks that sit alongside production.
The line that is easy to miss
A merger changes the team split. It does not change the brokerage cap. At eXp that cap is $16,000 a year against an 80/20 split; on Bean Group's Mega Team the eXp cap is $4,000, with the Bean Group team split as a separate line that is not capped and varies by level. Both are set out on the plans page.
