Jill Boudreau Joins eXp Realty, Bringing a Luxury Eye for Multimillion-Dollar Flips

Boston-based luxury real estate agent Jill Boudreau has always been a disruptor and she’s doing it again, joining eXp Realty’s luxury division in early 2025.

Her move to eXp Realty wasn’t just about change – it was about aligning herself with a brokerage that supports innovation and independence. Having been an early adopter of real estate technology, she was drawn to eXp’s cutting-edge resources and its agent-centric model.

“I’ve always been a disruptor in the best way possible,” Jill shared. “At Coldwell Banker, I pushed for branding and team building when it wasn’t the norm. At Compass, I was recruited as a founding agent to help open the Wellesley office when they were still establishing their presence in the Boston suburbs. Now, eXp is the next big wave, and I’m ready to ride it.”

A Gift for Spotting Million-Dollar Opportunities

Boudreau’s career is a testament to her exceptional eye for value and transformation in real estate. Her most recent deal on Cape Cod is a perfect example of her expertise. After identifying a well-maintained but outdated home in a coveted location in Chatham, she recognized its potential for a high-end flip.

Initially listed at $2.7 million, the property lingered on the market before experiencing price drops. Boudreau encouraged her client, a developer, to take another look when the price fell to $2.2 million. With her negotiation skills, the property ultimately closed for $2.05 million, giving her buyer/developer significant room for renovation and resale at an estimated $3.5 million.

“Every room in that house needed to be kissed. It wasn’t in disrepair, but just needed some love. Everything was mauve. I love to renovate, so when I saw this, I thought, ‘this is gold.’”

Her keen ability to identify opportunities isn’t just limited to real estate – Boudreau has a personal history of embracing bold challenges. In 2023, she completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, covering 2,200 miles while still managing to average $2.7 million in sales. The experience, she says, reinforced her resilience, discipline, and ability to push through tough conditions – qualities that serve her well in luxury real estate negotiations.

The Wellesley Listing That Made Headlines

Among Jill’s many career highlights, one of the most talked-about was her listing of a grand 10,000-square-foot Georgian mansion on 11 acres in Wellesley. Originally listed with another agent, the property struggled to attract attention despite its prestige. When Boudreau took over, she knew she needed a game-changing strategy.

To ensure top exposure, she orchestrated an extravagant open house event featuring none other than “Shark Tank’s” Barbara Corcoran. The event, by invitation only, brought together 150 of Boston’s top agents. Complete with valet parking, a police detail, a string quartet, and a fully catered experience, the showcase turned the listing into the talk of the town. It garnered significant press coverage, including a full-page feature in the Boston Herald, and ultimately attracted a buyer from London. The event was a masterclass in luxury real estate marketing.

A Move to eXp for Technology and Growth

Unlike traditional brokerages, eXp’s cloud-based structure allows Jill to tap into a nationwide network of top producers without being tied to a physical office. She also appreciates the collaborative culture, something she found invaluable while coaching with Tom Ferry’s network.

“The willingness to share best practices at eXp is unlike anything I’ve seen,” she said. “There’s a generosity in knowledge-sharing that makes a huge difference in scaling your business.”

Expanding Her Luxury Portfolio

With a high sale of $11.5 million, Boudreau is firmly established in the luxury space. But she doesn’t limit her expertise to just the top end of the market – her passion lies in transforming homes, whether they’re multimillion-dollar estates or smaller properties needing a refresh.

“I treat every listing, big or small, with the same level of marketing and attention to detail,” she noted. “I love helping buyers and sellers see the potential in a home, whether they’re looking for their dream house or an investment opportunity.”

Boston, the Cape and Beyond

As she settles into eXp, Jill is excited to relaunch her brand in Boston under the brokerage’s umbrella. With her deep connections in Wellesley, out to Cape Cod, and with plans to establish her brand out of state, she is well-positioned to continue dominating the luxury market while expanding her development portfolio.

“I’m ready for this next chapter,” she said. “eXp gives me the tools, technology, and network to do what I love at an even higher level. I’m looking forward to growing, collaborating, and continuing to disrupt the industry in the best way possible.”
