Noelle Nielsen, one of the women who claims to have brought the alleged sexual assault and harassment issues at eXp Realty to light back in 2020, is claiming that the company has retaliated against her, in a new lawsuit filed last Thursday.
Filed in Minnesota District Court in the County of Hennepin, the suit names eXp Realty, eXp World Holdings, Glenn Sanford, James Bramble, Brent Gove, Parker Pemberton and Pemberton Homes as defendants.
Nielsen, a broker in Minnesota, began her career in 2014 and joined eXp in 2019, after running her own independent brokerage with roughly 20 agents. She was recruited to eXp by Michael Bjorkman and David Golden, who are defendants in some of the sexual assault and harassment suits involving eXp Realty. According to the complaint, Nielsen was the whistleblower for allegations in the Acevedo suit, as well as others.
Bjorkman is no longer with the company and Golden has since been suspended.
According to the complaint, in late 2023, she learned that the defendants had allegedly been “secretly and systemically retaliating against her for years due to her reporting of sexual harassment and other serious misconduct and illegal activity in 2020.”
Nielsen allegedly confronted the defendants about this, however, instead of making amends, the complaint claims that “eXp doubled down on its efforts, refused to help Nielsen, and in fact told her that no one at corporate was allowed to speak to her anymore.”
