There are 3 main reasons to join eXp, which are the pillars that eXp is built on:

1. Increase your production

2. Net more money

3. Financial freedom

Every feature and benefit of eXp falls under 1 or more of these 3 pillars.

eXp Commercial offers more, and better training / education than any other brokerage I've ever been a part of.

To me, Support is different than Training & Education, and therefore I handle this as a separate topic.  Training & Education is how you learn how to do this business, whereas Support is how you receive help and/or get questions answered when you're actually doing this business.

Given our cloud-based business model, I often hear concerns about eXp's ability to provide support to our agents.  Ironically, it's our cloud-based model that enables eXp to provide faster and better support than any other brokerage I've ever been at!

eXp agents receive constant support from a variety of sources:

Help is available 24/7 at our Expert Care Desk in eXp World (our virtual office):

eXp World >> Go To >> Agent Support >> Expert Care

eXp Commercial Agents can also go to:

eXp World >> Go To >> Commercial

During business hours, eXp agents can log into eXp World and meet with HUNDREDS of eXp staff members who are ready and able to assist them with anything they might need.  In eXp World, you can:

• Meet with one of your state brokers

• Visit the Accounting dept.

• Get help from the Transactions dept.

• Receive Tech support

• etc.

In addition, each department in eXp World has self-help rooms which are accessible 24/7 to find information.

You can also post questions and/or direct message eXp staff in Workplace - eXp's internal communications hub.

Any experienced agent will agree - getting started in this business isn't easy.  Unfortunately, the mere receipt of our license does not really prepare any of us for a career as a real estate agent.

New agents have the benefit of participating in eXp Commercial's Mentoring Program ("Advisor Program").  In addition to coursework designed to help new agents get started, eXp will assign you a certified eXp mentor who will oversee your first 3 transactions.  The mentor will specialize in the same asset class that the new agent would like to work in.

eXp Commercial's Mentoring program is required for all agents with less than 3 transactions in the 24 months preceding enrollment.  Waivers may be granted on a case-by-case basis.

To learn more - eXp Commercial Mentor Program

** Please note that the commission structure is different for agents in the Mentoring Program - see the Commissions section on this page ("New Agents").

As a result of eXp's Revenue Share program, your sponsor and the other members of your up-line all have a direct vested financial interest in your success, and therefore they are always willing to step in and help.

In all my years as an agent, I've never seen anything like the way eXp agents support each other.  It's truly become one of my favorite things about being a part of eXp.

At most brokerages, you often hear brokers or managers saying things to their agents like "we're a family" in an effort to bring the agents together.  However, the unfortunate reality is that at most brokerages, there's no real connection between the agents, because there's no financial alignment between them.  The success of other agents in the brokerage does nothing to increase your bank account.  This lack of financial alignment means that not only are the other agents in your brokerage not your "family" - they're your competition!!  They may be wearing the same color uniform - but they are not on the same team.  

On the other hand, eXp's compensation package financially incentivizes our agents to help one another, and has resulted in a culture of unparalleled collaboration and cooperation.

As described above, eXp's Revenue Share program incentivizes the agents in your up-line to help you because they have a direct vested financial interest in your success.  They don't receive any Revenue Share unless you produce.  Additionally, the more the company grows, the more powerful it becomes, making it more attractive to both clients and agents.  

Additionally, through eXp's Stock Awards program, eXp has also created a financial alignment between the agents and the company as a whole.  As you will learn below, there are numerous ways that eXp agents receive stock, making us all part owners of the company.  As a result, whenever the company does well, we all benefit by the increased stock price.  A rising tide raises all ships.

This financial alignment between the agents, and between the agents and the company, has organically created a culture where eXp agents are not only willing, but eager to help one another, regardless of whose up-line/down-line they're in.

eXp recently created "Luna", our AI support chatbot to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to enhance agent support and increase productivity.

Luna is powered by ChatGPT and GPT-4 and is available 24/7 to all eXp agents to interact with the company, get assistance with day-to-day tasks, find answers to questions in real-time and get help on a variety of topics ranging from policies and procedures to tips for setting up listings, appointments and generating reports.  

In addition to live support, you can also visit eXp's Knowledge Base where you can search for info and/or submit tickets with questions.

eXp Commercial offers product specialty committees for more than 10 product types.  

These committees exist to foster focused collaboration and education among our new and seasoned agents.

To maintain excitement and foster an environment of community and collaboration, eXp hold multiple live events throughout each year:

• eXp Con - our annual national convention

• Annual Shareholders Summit

eXp Commercial Brand Guidelines

** eXp allows for flexible branding to feature you first!  You just have to comply with your state's marketing rules.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 28-33% of Realtors don't have health insurance.

To solve this problem, eXp offers health insurance to its agents at a steep discount!  On average, our agents save about $8,000 per year!!

To learn more about our health insurance plan and/or to speak with one of our consultants, visit:  eXpAgentHealthCare.com

Subject to certain requirements, eXperienced agents who like to help others and would like an additional income stream can become certified eXp mentors.

The mentor's role is to oversee the 1st 3 transactions of your assigned mentees.

Certified eXp mentors receive a % of the mentee's commissions on each of the mentee's 1st 3 transactions with eXp.

For more information about mentoring opportunities with eXp - see above:  Features & Benefits >> Support >> Mentoring Program

Even though we are a cloud-based brokerage, eXp recognizes the occasional need/desire for physical office space.  To accomodate this, eXp has partnered with Regus, which provides shared office space for professionals (like WeWork).

Regus offices are beautiful, professional environments where you can work, meet with clients, etc.

Regus has thousands of locations throughout the US and worldwide.

As a member of eXp, you will receive free access to the shared spaces in all Regus locations.  In addition, you can have access to private offices and/or conference rooms for an additional fee (discounted for eXp agents).

For more info about Regus and it's various locations, go to Regus.com

Ordinarily, you must have a license to sell in each state.  However, agents at eXp Commercial benefit from license portability, which in some cases allows for interstate co-brokering in states even where you're not licensed.

Many states allow co-brokering where the eXp Commercial Designated Managing Broker can sponsor your license on a transaction.  Please pay strict attention to state license portability laws.

** We recommend that you refer any out-of-state transactions to a local eXp Commercial agent.

eXp has the best, most sustainable commission / fee structure in the real estate industry.

eXp's commission / fee structure is based on an anniversary year (as opposed to calendar year).  Your anniversary date will be the 1st day of the month following the month you join eXp.  For example - if you join eXp in April, your anniversary date each year will be May 1st.

Open the drop-downs below to learn more about the commission / fee structure

One of exp's core values is flexibility.  Unlike many of our competitors eXp does not require any fees or minimum %'s that agents must charge their clients.

eXp just has a minimum company dollar that eXp is required to collect on each transaction (pre-cap):  the LESSER of: 

20% of a 3% commission; OR 

$500

** The minimum company dollar rule only applies to listing side transactions only, because agents don't always have the opportunity to set or control the commission received on other transaction types.

With some exceptions (discussed below) the commission structure at eXp is as follows:

80/20 split

NO Franchise Fee

$20,000 Cap (100%)

Agents start each anniversary year at an 80/20 split (20% to the brokerage) with NO franchise fee.

eXp caps your commissions at $20,000 per year.  Once you've paid $20,000 in commissions to the brokerage in a given anniversary year, your split changes to 100% (you no longer pay a commission split to the company) for the remainder of that anniversary year.

After you cap, you will only pay a capped transaction fee on any subsequent transactions during that anniversary year

• See the fees section below for more info

Each year on your anniversary date (based on when you join eXp), your commission split resets to 80/20, and your % towards capping resets to zero (i.e. the process starts all over again for that year).

Exceptions to the general commission structure are as follows:

One exception to the general commission structure laid out above is for "New Agents"

eXp Commercial defines new agents as having completed "less than 3 transactions in the last 24 months".

New agents are required to participate in eXp Commercial's Mentoring Program ("Advisor Program).  Each new agent will be assigned a Certified eXp Mentor (in their market and who specializes in the same asset class as the mentee) who will oversee their 1st 3 transactions with eXp Commercial.  

Agent's in eXp's Commercial Mentoring Program are required to split the commissions (GCI) on their 1st 3 transactions with their mentor 50/50.  The mentee's 20% split to eXp will only be paid on the mentee's 50% of the GCI.

After the agent completes 3 transactions under the supervision of a mentor, the agent's commission split goes up to 80/20, and when/if the agent reaches the $20,000 cap in that anniversary year, the split goes to 100%.

When the agent's commission split resets on the anniversary date, it resets to 80/20.

** NOTE - waivers of the mentoring program requirement may be granted on a case-by-case basis depending on an agent's previous experience and/or if the agent is joining a team at eXp.  Your sponsor can assist you with submitting a request for a waiver.

For more information about eXp's Mentoring Program - see above:  Support >> Mentoring Program

Another exception to the general commission structure set forth above pertains to "Personal Transactions"

A Personal Transaction is one where the agent (or a company the agent owns) is also a party/principal in the transaction (buyer or seller).

eXp allows agents to exclude 3 Personal Transactions each year from the commission split.  Instead of paying 20% to eXp, you would only pay a $500 transaction fee.

Often times agents who have already reached their cap at their current brokerage are reluctant to switch brokerages until their anniversary date because they don't want to lose their 100% commission split.  eXp does not want that to be a deterrent for you, so, subject to certain requirements, eXp will honor your capped status from your current brokerage.

If you're eligible for Cap Deferment at eXp, you will be allowed to join eXp at a 100% commission split.  You would reset to the 80/20 split on your anniversary date from your previous brokerage.

To learn more, and to see if you're eligible for cap deferment - see eXp's Cap Deferment Policy

Another financial benefit of joining eXp are the incredibly low fees.

Please note that the fees at eXp Commercial are higher than the fees at eXp Realty due to higher costs of the tools and resources provided, as well as higher costs for E&O.

Open the drop-downs below to learn more:

There are 3 transactional fees at eXp:

1. Risk Management Fee (E&O)

2. Broker Review Fee

3. Capped Transaction Fee **

All transactional fees at eXp are per transaction, not 'per agent' or 'per side'.  All transactional fees are divided amongst the eXp agents involved in the transaction based on the % of the commission they are receiving.  For example, if you're on a team, and you and your team leader are splitting the commission 50/50, you each pay 50% of the fees.

$100 per transaction and caps at $1000 per anniversary year.  

You pay nothing for E&O until you do a transaction

** Some exceptions apply - see "Summary of Commissions and Transactional Fees" below

$250 per transaction

** Some exceptions apply - see "Summary of Commissions and Transactional Fees" below

There is no cap on the broker review fee each year.

$250 per transaction 

** Some exceptions apply - see "Summary of Commissions and Transactional Fees" below

** Agent pays the lesser of the applicable capped transaction fee ($250) or 20% of a 3% commission. 

This fee is only charged on transactions AFTER an eXp agent reaches their cap ($20,000 in commissions paid to eXp) in a particular anniversary year.  You either pay a commission split to eXp OR the transaction fee - not both.

Once an eXp agent reaches Icon Status (see below), the capped transaction fee is reduced to $75/transaction for the remainder of that anniversary year.

There is NO franchise fee at eXp

$250 startup fee - this includes your 1st month's fee.  

$250 per month thereafter

Billed automatically each month.

eXp has several optional/additional services (e.g. lead generation) for which additional fees may be charged.

One of primary benefits of joining eXp is the ability to acquire an ownership interest in the company through various stock awards.

There are 3 ways that eXp agents receive stock in the company:

1. Production Awards

2. Icon Award

3. Agent Equity Program

Click the drop-downs below to learn more about each:

There are 3 different ways that eXp awards agents stock in the company based on production:

1. When you complete your 1st transaction each year, you will receive $200 in stock.  

2. When you reach your cap ($20,000 in commissions to eXp in a given year), you will receive $400 in stock.

3. When an agent that you have directly recruited (i.e. is in your Tier 1) does their very first transaction, you will receive $400 in stock.  Unlike the first 2 awards, this award only happens once - it does not repeat every year.

Notes about Production Awards:

• you are awarded actual shares of stock, not stock options

• all stock awarded has a 3 year vesting period from the date of issuance

When you reach Icon Status, you will be eligible for a total award up to $20,000 in stock.

There are 2 ways to achieve Icon Status at eXp Commercial:

1. reaching $500,000 in GCI in a given year with a minimum of 10 transactions; or

2. Paid company dollar cap of $20,000 and paid capped status transaction fees of $5,000

How the Icon Stock Award is paid out at eXp Commercial:

$12,000 in stock - received automatically upon meeting the Icon Award production requirements (see above)

$4,000 in stock - by meeting the Icon Award cultural commitment requirements

$4,000 in stock - by meeting the Icon Award event requirements ($2,000 per eXp approved event).

Notes about Icon Awards:

• you are awarded actual shares of stock, not stock options

• all stock awarded has a 3 year vesting period from the date of issuance

eXp Commercial - Icon Program Overview

eXp Commercial - Icon Program Cultural Points Guide

eXp Realty - Icon Program Terms / Glossary

In addition to the production and Icon awards listed above, eXp offers agents the ability to purchase stock in the company at a discounted price.

eXp allows you to defer 5% of each of your net commission checks, and that money will go towards the purchase of stock in your name at a 5% discount from the current market value.

This is an optional program, but I personally highly recommend you participate in it.

Unlike stock received through production awards, any stock purchased through the AEP vests immediately - it is yours, and you can sell it whenever you want.

One if the main reasons eXp is the fastest growing brokerage in the history of the industry is its Revenue Share program.  

Personally, revenue share was a major factor in my decision to move to eXp, and it's the sexiest thing I've ever seen in the real estate industry.

Revenue Share is eXp's way of rewarding its agents for helping the company grow by "sharing the wealth".

You will receive a % of the commission revenue produced by:

• Agents you directly bring into the company; and/or

• Agents that those agents bring into the company - up to 7 levels removed from you

You don't receive anything for just "recruiting" agents into the company - the agents in your down-line must actually produce in order for you to receive any Revenue Share.

CLICK HERE for a more detailed discussion about Revenue Share

If there's one thing I've learned about business, it's that the only number that really matters is net income.  

Even with paying a commission split, partnering with us at eXp will net you more money than owning your own brokerage.  Here's how:

By partnering with eXp, you'll be able to leverage our staff, technology and resources, resulting in decreased costs and an increase in your bottom

• Less office overhead

• Less staff

• Save money on E&O

• Save money on tools and resources for your agents (CRM, websites, SkySlope, etc.)

• Save money on health insurance

Partnering with eXp can lead to countless opportunities that you wouldn't otherwise be exposed to as a broker/owner:

• More leads

• More referrals

• Access to eXp eXclusives (off-market listings)

• More money in your pocket to invest back into your business.

• etc.

Many of you became broker/owners to stop paying commissions splits and keep 100% of your money.  Partnering with eXp actually gives you the ability to keep more than the 100% you're making now, by offering you multiple streams of income beyond just commissions:

• Revenue Share

• Stock

• Mentoring Opportunities

Partnering with eXp does not mean that you have to give up receiving commission splits from the agents at your brokerage.  

eXp gives you and your agents the ability to join eXp as a team, and as team members, your agents would pay you a commission split on all of their transactions regardless of whether they're capped with eXp.

I don't have to tell you that running a brokerage requires that a lot of your time be spent on necessary, but non-income producing activities:

• Training

• Supervision

• File review

• Accounting

• Brokerage operations

• Answering questions

• etc.

By partnering with eXp, you will be able to leverage our staff / resources to outsource these non-income producing activities, and instead focus on income producing activities (or simply have more free time).

In these uncertain times for our industry, broker/owners now face more liability than ever before.  By joining eXp, you would no longer be the broker of record, so you would no longer shoulder the liability.

You would also be able to leverage the collective knowledge of all of our incredible brokers, leaders, agents, and legal team.

How many times have you put time and energy into training and nurturing your agents, only to have them leave you?

Another major benefit of partnering with eXp is the ability to leverage all of our features and benefits for your agents, who will now receive:

• More money in their pockets

• More streams of income

• More training & education

• More support

• More opportunities

• More tools & resources

• More collaboration

• More leads

• etc.

The more that agents are provided, the less likely they are to leave ("Golden Handcuffs")

The beauty of eXp is that it allows for unlimited eXpansion of your business without corresponding increases in costs, responsibility and/or liability.

There are several ways that eXp will help you expand your business significantly quicker and easier than you can now:

Unless you're the owner of a national or international brokerage and licensed to operate in multiple locations you're currently limited as to the agents you can "partner" with.  Why would an agent in other state/country join your brokerage?  To take it a step further, why would an agent who lives an hour away from your brokerage join you when there are so many other options in between?  

On the other hand, eXp's national / international presence eliminates all geographic limitations on who you can partner with.  eXp is not a franchise - it's one international brokerage!  At eXp, there's no such thing as a "territory", so you have the ability to expand partnerships to other areas, regions, cities, states and even countries without red tape, additional costs or obstacles.

Throughout this website you'll find detailed descriptions of the extensive features and benefits provided by eXp.  The more you have to offer agents, the easier it is to scale.

You can partner with agents doing either residential or commercial real estate regardless of which of eXp's brokerages you join.

Through eXp's Revenue Share program, your agents will now be financially incentivized to help you grow, which will cause your business to scale at an eXponential rate. 

You'll receive help with recruiting and onboarding not only from eXp, but from me directly through my concierge agent attraction system.

I've often said:  "the brokerage doesn't make the agents; the agents make the brokerage".  eXp is the first brokerage I've ever seen that agreed with that philosophy.

At eXp, we want agents to brand themselves, as opposed to focusing on the company.  After all - you're the ones putting in the work!

If you chose to partner with eXp, you can keep your name, logo, branding, etc. - your marketing just has to be legally compliant.

It's lonely at the top...

As the broker/owner:

• who do you turn to when you have questions?  

• Who do you collaborate with?  

• Who do your agents turn to when you’re not available?

By partnering with eXp, you’re joining a national and international network of thousands of agents and business owners who are all financially incentivized to help and collaborate with you and your agents.

eXp is not a franchise, so there are no franchise fees or corporate fees other than the low fees set forth above.

"What do you call an agent's retirement party?  

-- a funeral"

What's your current exit strategy?  Do you have one??

Retirement:  do you have enough money saved to retire?  Do you have any other income streams?

Sell the Brokerage:  this is often not as easy as you might think, primarily because you don't own the real asset you're trying to sell - your agents!  Furthermore, this is a 1 time payment, as opposed to residual income.

Perhaps you're young and not thinking about an exit strategy at all yet; but have you ever asked yourself - what would happen if I got sick/hurt and couldn't work?  

Partnering with eXp gives you a true exit strategy, by providing you with additional income streams that will continue to grow even after you stop working! (Stock and Revenue Share).  

eXp offers various financial incentive programs to help ease the transition and lessen any financial barriers to entry.

Interim Team Leader option if Team Leader Cannot Join with the Team and has a signed Revenue Share Placeholder Addendum (RSPA):  

If a Team Leader must remain on a Revenue Share Placeholder Addendum (RSPA) for a period of time prior to onboarding, an Interim Team Leader will need to be identified and will have all responsibilities of the true Team Leader until such time as the true Team Leader on the Revenue Share Placeholder Addendum (RSPA) becomes active with eXp Realty, thereby replacing the Interim Team Leader.

A Personal Transaction is one where the agent (or a company the agent owns) is also a party/principal in the transaction (e.g. buyer or seller).

eXp allows agents to exclude 3 Personal Transactions each year from the commission split.  Instead of paying 20% to eXp, you would only pay a $500 transaction fee.

eXp has no minimum % that you're required to charge your clients (sellers/buyers) - that includes yourself!

eXp just has a minimum company dollar it's required to collect:  the lesser of 20% of a 3% commission; or $500.

This gives you a lot of flexibility on your investment deals, even after you've exhausted your 3 personal transactions each year.

My organization at eXp in particular is filled with "Investor Agents" (investors who primarily only use their license on their own investment deals).  

We provide a lot of additional, specialized training designed specifically for investors, showing you how to leverage your license to benefit your investing business, and vice versa.

eXp has no minimum number of transactions you're required to perform each year.

Revenue Share

** ALL agents joining eXp after 3/1/23 are automatically included in the Accelerate program.

If you’re committed to joining eXp, but aren’t quite ready to move your license, you can submit a request for a Revenue Share Placeholder Addendum (RSPA) to the Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA).  

The RSPA is literally a "place-holder" for you at eXp while you're preparing to make the transition.

The main benefit of the RSPA is that it allows you to begin recruiting agents to eXp (i.e. build your downline) even before you have officially joined eXp.

For example, if you’re a broker and you want to start moving your agents over before you’re ready to close down your brokerage, you can submit an LOI, and begin moving your agents to eXp while you’re winding things down.  You won’t be able to actually receive revenue share from agents you recruit until you yourself join eXp, but you won’t lose the opportunity to bring people in under you while you’re getting your ducks in a row.

Important notes about requesting an RSPA:

• In order to get an RSPA, you must submit your application to join eXp, and sign your ICA; however, you won’t transfer your license to eXp yet.  Your onboarding will be in “hold” status until you are ready to actually join eXp.

• No one (e.g. your current brokerage) is notified that you have submitted your application and a request for an RSPA.

• Your monthly fee at eXp does not begin until you officially join eXp (you don’t pay anything during the RSPA period).

• The RSPA will be in effect for 90 days - i.e. - you have to transfer your license to eXp within 90 days.  Extensions can be granted on a case by case basis.

• The request for an RSPA must be submitted immediately after you submit your application to eXp and sign your ICA.

RSPA Policy & FAQ's

Sample RSPA

If you're capped at your current brokerage (meaning you’ve reached the annual maximum amount of commission split paid to the brokerage and are now receiving 100% of the GCI on your transactions) and don't want to lose your 100% split, you may be eligible for a Cap Deferment at eXp.

Subject to certain conditions, eXp may allow you to join at a 100% split, and you won’t pay a commission split to eXp until your anniversary date with your current brokerage.
