In this episode of the HyperFast Agent podcast, the hosts dive into the question of whether eXp Realty is a good platform for real estate teams. Drawing from their own experiences with running a highly successful team at Keller Williams and eventually transitioning to eXp Realty, they share insightful comparisons and explore the advantages of eXp for team leaders. They outline four major benefits that make eXp Realty a top choice for team-oriented real estate businesses.
First and foremost is the **cost structure**, which is especially beneficial for large teams. At eXp, team leaders can benefit from lower caps compared to other brokerages. For example, team leaders with 10 or more agents qualify as a "mega team" with a $16K cap, while each team member has a $4K cap. Additionally, team leaders who reach the icon level, which many large teams do, receive their $16K cap back in stock, making the cost structure even more attractive. This makes eXp not only cheaper than most traditional brokerage options but even more affordable than running an independent brokerage. The hosts explain that if team leaders want to focus solely on recruiting, training, and supporting their agents, eXp’s structure saves them from the financial and time burden of legal and transactional responsibilities typically handled by a brokerage.
Secondly, they highlight **training and collaboration**, which are often overlooked benefits. At eXp Realty, agents and teams are immersed in a collaborative environment where top producers share insights and strategies, facilitated by the platform's stock ownership model that aligns everyone’s goals. The hosts compare this to their experience at an independent brokerage, where they felt isolated and missed out on the wealth of knowledge that comes from being connected to top-performing agents. At eXp, training programs, conferences, and local meetups with high-level agents are readily available, fostering a culture of learning and growth without the need to join costly coaching programs.
The third benefit is eXp’s **stock award program**, which rewards team leaders with significant stock bonuses. Team leaders can accumulate stock through their own production, capping, and team recruitment. For example, a team leader could earn up to $16,600 in stock annually just for hitting their production goals and recruiting agents who complete their first deal. Over time, these stock awards compound into significant wealth creation, offering team leaders a way to build long-term financial stability while growing their teams.
The final benefit is the **revenue share program**, which enables team leaders to earn passive income by recruiting agents to their team and to eXp. As team members grow and develop their own teams, the original team leader continues to earn revenue share, creating a long-term, scalable income stream. This program allows team leaders to maintain business relationships with agents who may eventually outgrow their team, providing a way to stay connected while benefiting from their success. Over time, revenue share has the potential to surpass the team leader’s income from their own sales, with lower risk and liability. This added business layer enhances the eXp platform's appeal to team leaders looking for financial freedom and security.
The hosts also note that eXp Realty’s **financial strength** and **sustainability** set it apart from other brokerages. Unlike newer digital brokerages, eXp has been profitable since 2019 and has not needed to rely on private equity funding. This financial stability gives team leaders confidence that eXp will continue to thrive, making it a reliable platform for long-term business growth.
By joining eXp, team leaders gain access to lower fees, high-level training, stock awards, and revenue share opportunities, making it an ideal platform for real estate teams. The hosts conclude by inviting interested agents to reach out for a confidential conversation to learn more about how they can benefit from joining eXp and partnering with them in growing their businesses.
