โ CLEAR, HONEST ANSWERS
Everything agents ask before partnering with us.
Straight answers on contracts, commission caps, revenue share, Florida broker support, and what transition week actually looks like.
What happens to my active listings and pending deals if I switch?
Pending contracts almost always close at your previous brokerage under your existing commission agreement. For active listings, most brokers will allow you to transfer them with owner consent, or you can leave them at your previous brokerage on a referral fee while launching all new business at eXp Realty. James will personally help you map out the timing so you don't lose a penny.
Is eXp Realty an MLM?
No. eXp Realty is a full-service, licensed cloud real estate brokerage publicly traded on the NASDAQ (symbol: EXPI). It operates under standard state real estate commission laws. The revenue share model is often confused with multi-level marketing, but with one critical distinction: you sell real estate to consumers, not products to other agents. Revenue share is paid exclusively from eXp's 20 percent company dollar, never from the agent's 80 percent split. If an agent never introduces another person to eXp, they simply enjoy the 80/20 split, low $16,000 cap, and enterprise tools.
Does James mentor agents on short-term rentals and condotels?
Yes! James brings extensive hands-on experience in the sale, purchase, and property management of short-term rental properties and condotels, which he discusses extensively on his Salt Air Sessions YouTube series. When agents in our organization work with vacation rental buyers, investors, or condotel listings in Florida and beyond, James provides direct 1-on-1 guidance on rental regulations, HOA budgets, cap-rate analysis, and turnkey management workflows.
Do I have to do social media or video if I don't want to?
Not at all. While Mike Sherrard's Social Agent Academy is world-class for agents who want inbound video attraction, our organization supports multiple paths to production: open houses, investor networking, cold calling, sphere of influence marketing, and Airbnb co-hosting. We help you double down on the lead generation pillar that fits your strengths.
How does the Certified eXp Mentor program work for new agents?
Every new agent who has closed fewer than 3 transactions in the prior 12 months is enrolled in eXp's mentor program for their first 3 transactions. As a Certified eXp Mentor, James Jestes works directly with you on writing contracts, structuring offers, pricing CMAs, and negotiating inspection items so you have hands-on guidance from day one.
Can I keep my own personal brand, team name, and logos?
Yes! eXp Realty is designed for agent-centric branding. You can maintain your personal logo, team identity, and domain names on all signs, marketing materials, and websites, provided you include the standard eXp Realty brokerage identifier required by state licensing laws.
Who holds my real estate license in Florida?
In Florida, your license is held by eXp Realty, LLC with a designated state Managing Broker. eXp maintains full-time state brokers, compliance managers, and transaction staff accessible live through eXp World, email, and phone during business hours.
What does it cost to join eXp Realty?
eXp has no franchise fees, no desk fees, and no annual association dues to the brokerage. Startup costs are simple: - $149 one-time startup fee (includes 1,000 business cards, tech setup, and first month fee) - $85/month cloud tech fee (includes kvCORE CRM, eXp World, Enterprise back office, and 80+ hours of live weekly training) - Standard 80/20 commission split capped at $16,000 per year
