eXp Realty Commission Splits

There is an 80/20 commission split until you reach your $16,000 annual cap. For those of you that aren’t familiar with a commission cap, that just means that once you’ve paid eXp $16K, you keep 100% of your commissions for the remainder of your anniversary year. Once you’ve reached your cap, there is just a $250 transaction fee for the next 20 transactions and $75 after that.

** Please note that new agents or those who sold fewer than three (3) homes in the past 12 months will be in the eXp Mentor Program. There is an additional 20% split for your first 3 transactions with your local mentor.

In order to keep your monthly costs down, eXp elected to charge your E&O (Errors and Omissions) Insurance by transaction. You pay just $60 per sale until you reach the $750 annual cap (updated in 2024). There is also a $25 broker review fee to ensure your contracts are rock solid!

Agent Savings

In the video, we also looked at what real estate agents would take home at the end of the year versus the average real estate brokerage. For the typical agent who sells about 10-12 homes and does $80,000 GCI, they could potentially save over $8,000 per year with eXp Realty. For top producing agents who are selling about 25 homes and generating $300,000 GCI, the savings averaged about $60,000. See the full example of the eXp Realty commission splits / fee breakdown in the video above as well as the different options for you to earn back some or ALL of the money you pay into the brokerage each year.

eXp Realty Offers

eXp Realty offers some fantastic opportunities to earn additional income that will help you recoup any splits or fees you paid to the brokerage of the year. The first option is the EXPI Stock Awards where you can receive stock when someone you sponsor closes their first real estate transaction.

There are occasional changes to the eXp Realty commission structure, fees and/or awards, so if you are seriously considering joining our brokerage, please contact eXp Agent/Owner Kerry Lucasse to receive the latest presentation with a breakdown of offerings and fees.

How to Keep 100% of Your Commission

option 1

eXp Stock Equity Plan

The first option is the EXPI Stock Awards where you receive stock when someone you sponsor closes their first real estate transaction. With eXp Realty’s Sustainable Equity Plan, our agents receive stock awards for accomplishing specific goals each year.

option 2

ICON Agent Award

There is also an ICON Agent Program that allows top producers to receive their $16,000 cap back in EXPI stock. You just have to sell 20 homes after capping and/or earn at least $500K GCI annually and paid at least $5K in transaction fees. As of 2023, you’ll receive $12,000 worth of stock when you meet the qualifications, we well as an additional $4,000 based on certain cultural requirements such as mentoring, teaching, and/or attending eXp events.

OPtion 3

Revenue Share Program

The third way that you can earn additional income is by participating in the eXp Realty revenue share program and attracting agents to the brokerage, who then meet the production and closed transaction requirements. You’ll not only receive $400 worth of EXPI stock* for each agent you introduce after they close their first real estate transaction, eXp will also share 3.5% of whatever your sponsored agent sells until they hit their $16K cap.

If your agent sells a home that generates $15,000 in gross commission, eXp will share 3.5% with you (i.e. $525).If you bring six agents (cappers) to eXp, you have the ability to earn $16,000 in revenue share every year if the minimum production and closed transaction requirements are met. This program creates an environment where everyone really wants to help one another success and it’s working!
