Take Your Real Estate Career to the Next Level
With eXp Realty and the Right Sponsor Behind You
If you’re a real estate agent looking to grow your business in a meaningful, sustainable way, joining eXp Realty could be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. And who you choose as your sponsor makes all the difference.
I’m not here to sell you a dream—I’m here to walk with you as you build one. Whether you’re looking for more freedom, community, income, or clarity in your career, this is the environment that can help you get there.
Here’s what I love about eXp Realty and what you can expect when you join with me as your sponsor:
Tools and Support That Truly Empower You
Technology that actually helps you work smarter.
eXp offers cloud-based systems for transaction management, virtual showings, and team collaboration. You’ll have access to a powerful tech suite that allows you to serve your clients well and run your business from anywhere. If you’re in the Greater Philadelphia area, you’ll also have access to our team office in Bryn Mawr and other shared spaces for closings and meetups.
World-class training and mentorship.
There are 50+ hours of live training each week, plus on-demand content and national masterminds with some of the best in the business. Whether you're new or seasoned, there’s always something to help you grow.
A business model that puts more money in your pocket.
With a low cap, reasonable transaction fees, and the opportunity to earn stock and residual income, eXp’s model gives you real earning power. Once you cap, you keep most of your commission—with just a small fee per transaction.
Multiple Ways to Grow—Not Just One
Revenue share to build long-term wealth.
At eXp, you have the opportunity to earn from the success of agents you bring into the company. You’ll be rewarded for helping others, and that income builds year after year. I’ll help you create a sustainable Rev Share strategy, without overwhelm or pressure.
Earn stock and build a retirement plan.
I personally invest 5% of my commission into eXp stock each transaction—it’s one small way to plan for the future, and it adds up. You can do the same.
Global reach.
eXp is expanding rapidly around the world. You’re no longer limited to your local market. If you’ve ever dreamed of working with clients (or agents) in other states or countries, this platform opens that door.
Lead programs you can actually tap into.
Through the eXp Revenos department, there are multiple lead generation channels available with no upfront cost—just a referral fee upon closing. These come with certificate trainings in topics like relocation, REO, and more.
Personalized Support from Someone Who Cares
Business coaching tailored to you.
When you join with me as your sponsor, you’re not just a number. I’ll help you build a business that fits your goals and lifestyle. From marketing strategies to planning your week, I’ll walk with you and help you stay on track.
Mentorship, if you need it.
If you’ve done fewer than three deals in the past year, you’ll be placed in the eXp Mentor Program—and if you're on my team, I’m your mentor. We’ll meet regularly, go over contracts, handle scenarios, and make sure you feel confident.
Community and collaboration.
This isn’t a cutthroat environment. We help each other. Weekly masterminds, peer-led sessions, and a culture of support make a big difference here.
Optional: Join the Team
You don’t have to join my team to work with me—but if you want additional support, systems, leads, and collaboration, it might be a great fit.
Team members receive:
First access to paid showings and lead opportunities
A transaction coordinator to handle contract-to-close
Dialer tools and lead lists (with monthly call commitments)
Exclusive team trainings and events
A lower cap option
Options for semi-team membership if you're part-time or out of state
Events and Real Connection
As your sponsor or team lead, you'll have access to in-person events in the Greater Philly area—wellness events, educational workshops, happy hours, and more. Not local? We also connect at major conferences like EXPCON, plus tons of virtual events throughout the year.
Business Planning That Goes Deeper
We don’t just set goals and leave them on a whiteboard. Together, we’ll dive into your business, build out your strategy, and work on the mindset and habits that support consistent growth.
The Most Important Thing: Sponsorship
Who you name as your sponsor when joining eXp is a big deal. It determines your community, your resources, and the support you receive long term.
I take that role seriously. If you choose to name me, I’m here to help you build not just a business—but a life you love.

FULL TIME AGENT PATH:
Build a Real Estate Business That Supports the Life You Actually Want to Live
You’re smart, capable, and driven. You’ve done deals, made sacrifices, and figured out a lot on your own. But if you're craving more structure, support, and balance without giving up your autonomy, you might be ready for a team like this one.
I’ve built a local hybrid real estate team that’s designed to help agents grow—without the chaos. If you are in Pennsylvania and serious about building something that’s both profitable and fulfilling, let’s talk!
What You Get When You Join
One-on-One Support That Actually Moves the Needle
I meet with each agent one-on-one every Monday for a 30-minute pipeline call. We also have monthly accountability check-ins, quarterly growth sessions, and a yearly business planning workshop so you’re never wondering what your next step is.
Tools and Systems That Save You Time
We use Lofty as our CRM so you can manage and follow up with your database efficiently. You’ll unlock access to Calendly for scheduling, Canva for branded marketing templates, BombBomb for video emails, and ChatGPT prompts for writing smarter, faster.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel—I’ve already built what works.
Training and Resources That Make You Better
You’ll get access to TOP National masterminds and training calls, plus a full library of videos for client education, contracts, and explaining the buying and selling process.
We also provide ready-to-go buyer and seller presentations, guides, email templates, and marketing assets that help you stay consistent.
Leads and Leverage
Once you hit your eXp cap, you will unlock lead. You’ll also have my support if you want to build your own Rev Share group. I’ll show you what’s worked for me and help you avoid the mistakes I made.
You’ll plug into a local brand people trust—and client events you don’t have to plan. Photos with Santa, summer BBQs, and other appreciation events are open to your SOI. You just invite them with our plug and play system and show up.
What It’s Like on This Team
We care about doing great work and being good people. We’re not here to compete with each other—we’re here to build real businesses, create freedom, and enjoy the ride. If you want to feel like someone’s in your corner, this is that kind of team.
You’ll Fit In Here If:
You’re already producing and want to grow
You’re tired of doing everything yourself
You want systems and support but also freedom
You love being local and building real relationships
You want to bring balance to your work-life.
Let’s Talk
If this sounds like the kind of team you’ve been looking for, let’s have a real conversation about where you’re at and where you want to go.

PART TIME Agent PATH:
Launch Your Real Estate Career with Clarity, Flexibility, and a Proven Plan
If you’re balancing another job or personal responsibilities but want to grow your real estate business, this path is for you.
We’ve created a flexible option for part-time agents in Pennsylvania who are serious about building a career—at their own pace—with support from someone who understands what it takes to go from a few deals to a full-time business.
Whether you're brand new or relaunching after time away, this path helps you move forward without getting overwhelmed.
What You Get When You Join
A Clear Roadmap
We’ll meet for regular one-on-one pipeline coaching to help you make the most of your available time. You’ll get focused action steps and consistent check-ins so you always know what to do next.
Contract & Offer Support
When you're writing an offer or presenting a deal, I’ll help you navigate the process so you’re never left guessing. You’ll gain real experience with the safety net of a mentor by your side.
Marketing & Outreach Made Simple
You’ll get access to plug-and-play marketing materials and guides so you can stay visible, even with limited hours. We’ll show you how to build your brand and start growing your business in your current zip code.
Foundational Training & Resources
You’ll receive access to team-created videos on contracts, the transaction process, and how to talk to clients with confidence. We’ll support you in laying the groundwork to eventually go full time if that’s your goal.
What You Won’t Get—And Why
This path is designed to be flexible, so unfortunately if your schedule cannot allow for 1-on-1s when they are available, you may miss them and that’s okay when you are on the part time path, you are already juggling!
As you gain traction and shift toward full-time, you’ll have the option to upgrade your level of support and unlock more systems.
You’ll Fit In Here If:
You’re working another job or raising a family and want to grow real estate on the side
You’re serious about learning the business—not just dabbling
You want mentorship, community, and structure
You’re ready to show up consistently—even with limited hours
You’re based in Pennsylvania and love building local relationships
Let’s Talk
If you’re ready to take the next step in real estate, even part-time, we should have a real conversation about your goals and how I can support you.

How to Become a Real Estate Agent in PA:
Here is a link to the Pennsylvania Department of State website, where you will find the requirements for licensure in Pennsylvania:
Pennsylvania Department of State- Real Estate Salesperson License.
To obtain a Pennsylvania real estate salesperson license, you will need to meet several qualifications:
You must hold a high school diploma or equivalent.
You must pass a criminal background check.
You must take and pass two courses (Real Estate Practice and Real Estate Fundamentals). Sign up for Pre-Licensing Courses HERE
You must apply for, take, and pass the state-administered licensing exam.
*If PA is your secondary license, you MUST join PAR!
Eligibility & Requirements: Real Estate Salesperson License by the Standard Method
Real Estate Salespersons may be granted licensure by the standard method once they have completed and passed both portions of the Salesperson Examination. Real Estate Salespersons who have held an active salesperson license in another state within the last five years do not need to complete the General/National portion of the examination in order to be eligible for licensure in PA.
To qualify to sit for the examinations, applicants must complete 75 hours (5 credits) of basic real estate courses from an accredited college or an approved real estate education provider in this Commonwealth. Courses must have been completed within 5 years prior to the date of successful completion of the licensing examination. You may also qualify if you received a bachelor’s degree with a major in Real Estate from an accredited college, a juris doctor degree from an accredited law school, or completed 75 hours of pre-licensure coursework in another state or other jurisdiction that was approved to meet the requirements for licensure in that state or other jurisdiction. Please read section 35.272 of the Real Estate Commission regulations for all information about educational requirements.
If you are currently licensed in another state and wish to be licensed in Pennsylvania, you must first contact Pearson Vue to register to sit for the Pennsylvania State portion of the examination only. You must first meet the educational requirements outlined in section 35.272 of the Real Estate Commission regulations. Once you have passed the PA State portion of the exam, you are able to apply for licensure.
If you have never been licensed in any state or jurisdiction, you must complete the education requirements as outlined in section 35.272 of the Real Estate Commission regulations before registering for the exams. Please read the full section of the regulations for all information about educational requirements. Once you have passed both portions of the exam you may apply for licensure.
I personally like The CE Shop for classes:
Education’s complete! Now what?
Finish both courses. Pass both course tests.
Use the transcript you receive, and a designated form, to apply for and take the state licensing exam.
The exam is offered at approved centers or via webcam proctoring.
It costs ~$49 every time to take the exam.
It consists of 120 questions divided into two sections. You have 3 hours to complete it. You must pass each section with a score of 75 or higher.
You’ll learn immediately at the testing center/online whether you passed or must re-take the licensing exam.
If you pass, you’ll receive a receipt. Keep it to claim your license.
Remember, you must pass a criminal background check to verify your license eligibility, and you must hold a high school diploma or its equivalent.
You must be affiliated with a real estate broker in PA who will serve as your legal supervisor so reach out to Shaina to get started!
The state will mail your license to your broker. Now you can start work!

FAQ:
Will you pay for me to get licensed?
I will not sponsor your license. You need to do it on your own. If you like to have things handed to you, this is not the right career path for you.
How much will I make as a network member?
You would be an independent contractor- how much you make is up to your ability to do the activities we tell you and do them well. There is no salary. Some opportunities to earn cash for showings etc. will be available.
What is the process to join?
Each individual will have a slightly different journey depending on their background. The best way to start is to schedule a phone call via Calendly with me.
I am an experienced agent, can I join?
Absolutely! After walking you through the onboarding process, I will customize a program for you if you are an experienced agent to make sure you are getting exactly what you need. I will connect you with who you need to know and provide guidance on setting up multiple streams of income. The Network offers great information to help grow your business and I will make sure you are tuned in to the important events and conversations that will help you grow your business.
