Black Lion Our Story

A different kind of real estate firm.

Black Lion is an eXp Realty branch built to bring institutional discipline to residential real estate. We believe a home sale or purchase is one of the most significant financial decisions a family will make — and it deserves the same rigor, strategy, and care as any major transaction.

Rather than operating as a single team, Black Lion is structured as a growing network — Black Lion Alpha is our flagship team today, with the standard and infrastructure in place to bring on more as we scale.

The Name

Why Black Lion?

Not every lion has to roar to be dangerous. Kerry explains why the name isn't about being loud — it's about being the rare one that's been through the fight and is still standing.

"Black lion has everything to do with being the best of the best. There are lions out there — it's only a few black lions, and they dominate, bar none." Kerry Ferdinand, Founder

Your Team, Next

Growing the Network

Black Lion is built to add more teams under one standard. If you're an agent looking for that infrastructure, let's talk.

Strategic Networking

Black Lion Veterans Alliance Golf Classic

This isn't a community-service checkbox — it's Black Lion's highest-leverage relationship event of the year. As a veteran-owned brand, we built the founding summit of the Black Lion Veterans Alliance: veterans, corporate sponsors, and business leaders in one room, building the partnerships, referrals, and long-term relationships that compound long after the last putt drops.
