Just spotted a brutal thread over on the GBP Help Forum and wanted to see if anyone managing real estate clients is running into this.
Apparently, Google's live verification teams are explicitly telling some real estate agents that they are no longer verifying eXp agents, leading to instant denials and profile suspensions. Even for realtors set up as a Service Area Business (SAB) with state licensing. Google seems to be aggressively cracking down on cloud brokerages and ones using virtual/shared addresses.
The only current "workaround" seems to be scrubbing eXp from the realtor's business name and positioning the business/realtor as a completely independent entity from eXP, but that obviously creates massive brokerage compliance headaches.
Anyone else dealing with a spike in GBP real estate / eXp suspensions right now? Think this is this a new policy or just a glitch?
