eXp Realty Reviews

“I almost quit in my first year of being an agent! I was working all of the time and not making any money. I was working under Better Homes & Gardens, Metrobrokers and their methods were very old school. They taught us to get clients by door knocking, approaching strangers in the grocery store, wearing your name tag all of the time, etc. That is not my style and I was struggling to find my way of finding clients. Then I met Jamie Walzer (my sponsor) who introduced me to Kerry Lucasse and Ian Marshall. They were so focused on leveraging technology as opposed to the old school methods in real estate and I felt excited to give it another try. 

I’ve been with eXp Realty for over 6 years now and my experience has been amazing! eXp Realty focuses on utilizing technology which has really helped my business and helped me to build my client base. In my first two years with eXp Realty, most of my clients started off as being web leads. Once I was taught how to properly work those leads, my business took off. Many of those clients have since become repeat clients and referral sources.

Since joining eXp Realty, I have never been encouraged to go door-knocking or approaching strangers in the grocery store to talk about real estate, which honestly if that is what I had to do to get clients, I would not be a realtor today! I absolutely love my colleagues and the family type of atmosphere. We can go into the cloud anytime and attend classes and get advice from agents all over the country. We are not competing with one another and agents are always willing to share their methods of success. It is a very encouraging environment and there is room for everyone to succeed.

When it comes to picking a brokerage to join, it’s so important to do your research! If it seems that a brokerage’s main focus is you selling homes for the rest of your life, consider if that is your goal. Ask about things like stock options and awards, revenue share, lead generation, etc. The main thing that stuck in my mind when I met our former broker was that he said we need to have several “buckets of revenue” as opposed to just staying on the hamster wheel and showing houses for the rest of our lives. I had never met an agent who thought this way and I had no future exit strategy.  

Now I feel that my possibilities are endless! I have company stock that I have earned in the award program and stock that I have been able to purchase at a discount. I can earn passive income by building up my downline. I can get online leads through KVCore and refer those leads out to other agents. And that’s just to name a few ways of earning additional income. I highly recommend all new agents trying to decide on what broker to join, to speak to a few different longtime eXp Realty agents about their experiences with the company. You will quickly see how exciting it is to be a part of such a great company!”
