As the largest brokerage in the country by transaction side count, eXp Realty is looking to make it easier for more agents to sponsor recruits and join the company’s revenue share plan.
On Wednesday, eXp announced it was adding a co-sponsor option to its revenue share program, allowing two existing eXp agents to sponsor a new agent.
New agents and advisers who join eXp can now select both a primary sponsor and a co-sponsor. Previously, new agents could only select one sponsor. According to eXp, this will “amplify leadership support, accelerate onboarding success and expand leadership support.”
The co-sponsor program will officially launch on May 1, 2025.
“Just like when we pioneered cloud-based real estate and launched revenue share, this is a moment that marks where we’re headed,” Glenn Sanford, the founder, chairman and CEO of eXp World Holdings, said in a statement. “The Co-Sponsor Program isn’t just a feature — it’s an evolution in how we grow together.”
Under the new program, primary sponsors will continue to earn revenue through levels two through seven, as well as front-line qualifying agent (FLQA) and stock awards. Co-sponsors are eligible to receive level-one revenue share and a “fast start” bonus, which is 50% of the revenue share in the agent’s first year.
“The Co-Sponsor Program is more than an onboarding enhancement, it’s a strategic unlock for agent growth and organizational scale,” Leo Pareja, the CEO of eXp Realty, said in a statement. “By enabling experienced leaders to support agents outside their organization, we’re empowering more builders to rise, more agents to succeed, and ultimately expanding our global agent base faster than ever.”
In making this change to its revenue share program, eXp is joining The Real Brokerage in allowing two existing agents to co-sponsor a recruit. Real implemented this change in November 2023.
