How Keith Andrews Helped Launch eXp Commercial | Real Estate Investing, CCIM & Global Expansion

In this episode of The LiT Real Estate Show, Jason P. Jordan sits down with Keith Andrews, CCIM — a founding force behind eXp Commercial and a nationally recognized expert in commercial real estate investing, mentoring, and brokerage.

Keith shares how his military background, finance degree, and 20+ years in global telecommunications uniquely prepared him for a successful second career in commercial real estate. From earning his prestigious CCIM designation (achieved by only 7% of professionals worldwide) to helping build the foundational systems for eXp Commercial’s U.S. and global footprint, Keith’s journey is packed with value for real estate agents, brokers, and investors alike.

🎙 In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ Why Keith transitioned from telecom to commercial real estate
✅ How he became one of the first eXp Commercial state advisors
✅ The importance of the CCIM designation (and how to get it)
✅ How his team connects global investors to hyper-local market experts
✅ The behind-the-scenes work that launched eXp Commercial nationally
✅ His philosophy on authenticity, professionalism, and relationships in the CRE world
