Former eXp Agent Michael Bjorkman Sues eXp Realty and Glenn Sanford for Defamation
Michael Bjorkman, a former eXp Realty agent named as a defendant in two sexual assault lawsuits involving the brokerage, has sued eXp Realty and founder Glenn Sanford, alleging Sanford defamed him during the company's third quarter 2023 earnings call.
The suit, filed April 19 in Spokane County, Washington, says Sanford referred to Bjorkman and fellow former agent David Golden as "two bad actors" during the November 2023 call and said the situation could involve "jail time." Bjorkman argues those remarks amounted to telling investors he committed assault, and notes that criminal charges against him were dismissed.
The complaint also alleges eXp and Sanford failed to pay Bjorkman money the company had agreed to provide, and brings claims for breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. Bjorkman seeks general damages of at least 20 million dollars plus attorneys' fees and interest.
eXp said the claims against the company and its leadership have no basis in fact or law and that it vehemently denies them.
