I’m sure you’ve heard about some top producers who’ve been moving to eXp lately, along with other agents in your market. I get asked about it all the time. I’ve been an eXp agent for 14 years, and I’ve watched the brokerage change a lot, so I updated this list for 2026.
Some of the reasons are the same ones that have drawn agents for years, like owning stock and a low cap. Others are brand new: award-winning training programs with free leads, a Canva Enterprise account, and industry-leading AI tools that connect to your business data and simplify your life.
Top 10 Reasons to Join eXp
1. You can earn stock in more than one way
eXp is a public company (Nasdaq: AGNT), and agents can own a piece of it. You earn stock when you close your first deal each year, when you hit your cap, and when you bring in an agent who closes their first sale. You can also buy stock at a discount through the stock purchase plan. Top producers can earn the ICON award, which can give you your whole cap back in stock. Most awards vest over time, so here’s how every stock award works.
2. You keep more of your commission
You split 80/20 until you hit your $16,000 annual cap. After that, you keep 100%, minus a transaction fee. There are no desk fees, franchise fees, or royalty fees. See the full breakdown of splits and fees.
3. FastCAP: an award-winning training program
FastCAP is a six-week program with live classes three days a week, taught by top producers. You get a daily prospecting plan, and your activity is tracked so you stay on task. It won two Gold awards this year, and it’s covered by the monthly fee you’d pay anyway. See how FastCAP works.
4. Free leads during FastCAP, and for 12 months after
You get free buyer and seller leads from eXp’s realty.com partnership, with no referral fee. You can start getting leads before you even finish FastCAP, as long as you meet certain criteria. Graduate, and you keep access for 12 months. Canadian agents get leads through Zoocasa, which do carry a referral fee. See how FastCAP works.
5. 60 hours of live training every week, plus a mentor for your first deals
Live classes run all week, and you can watch recorded how-to videos any time. New agents also get a mentor who guides them through their first three completed transactions. See eXp’s training and mentor program.
6. AI and tech tools that make your life easier
eXp gives you a business website and CRM through BoldTrail. The AI Accelerator teaches you to use AI for marketing, follow-up, and listings. And eXp just launched a way to connect AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to your eXp business data.
7. A Canva Enterprise account, included
U.S. agents get a full Canva Enterprise account, loaded with eXp-approved branding, real estate templates, and the eXp Listings App, which fills in your listing photos and details for you. Many agents tell me it replaces a paid design subscription. Here’s how Canva works at eXp.
8. Earn from the agents you introduce to eXp: revenue share and FastATTRACT
When you introduce agents to eXp, you can earn from their sales through revenue share, seven levels deep. FastATTRACT is a six-week training that shows you how to attract agents and build your group. Learn how revenue share works.
9. New tools for your listings and clients
eXp just announced eXp Ready, which can fund home prep for sellers, up to $50,000, paid at closing. ShowGo lets agents cover showings for each other. A mortgage company, Revenos Mortgage, is planned for early 2027.
10. A virtual campus and community you can use from your phone
eXp’s virtual campus is open from your computer or the eXp mobile app. Got a question? You’ll usually get an answer fast, so you’re never stuck figuring it out alone.
Bonus: Health care options
eXp offers agents access to health coverage options through a partner, Clearwater Benefits. Options and savings vary, so read how it works.
