A high-producing Tampa real estate team has returned to eXp Realty after a stint with another brokerage.

Maximum Tampa Group — led by Yulia Olivo and Jennifer Rivera — will now operate as FIG Team Maximum Tampa in collaboration with Veronica Figueroa’s FIG Team.

The move comes after Maximum Tampa Group had joined LPT Realty as founding members.

“Agents building real businesses need a platform that can support them at scale”, said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. “Yulia and Jennifer understand what it takes to grow and their return reflects the importance of having the right structure, systems and leadership in place to support that growth long term.”

Olivo and Rivera built Maximum Tampa Group into a team that closed $51.96 million in volume across 144 sides in 2024, averaging between 120 and 150 transactions annually, according to RealTrends Verified.

They will step into leadership as co-team leaders of FIG Team Maximum Tampa — marking FIG Team’s first expansion into the Tampa market.

“We needed a model that could support where we’re going, not just where we are,” said Olivo. “We’ve experienced growth at a high level, and this move allows us to build with the right foundation in place.”

FIG Team Maximum Tampa will focus on recruiting, team development and expanding market presence across the Tampa region — integrating media, systems and agent growth into a unified platform.

“For years, we’ve said we wanted to build one of the top teams in Tampa”, said Rivera. “This gives us the ability to do that within a structure that’s already proven.”
