Comparing Traditional Brokerages To EXP Realty (And How Shaina Supports Agents Through Transition)
Agents considering a move often feel torn between staying in a familiar traditional environment and stepping into a newer, cloud‑based model. Each structure has pros and cons, but the real question is which one supports your goals today and in the future. eXp Realty offers a modern alternative, and partnering with Shaina McAndrews helps agents navigate the transition smoothly instead of feeling overwhelmed.
What Traditional Models Typically Offer
Traditional brokerages often provide a physical office, in‑person meetings, and sometimes local brand recognition. In exchange, agents may experience higher splits, additional fees, and limited pathways to ownership or residual income. Training and support can vary widely from office to office, and growth can feel capped if there is no clear track beyond solo production.
For some agents, these environments can be a good fit early in their career, but over time the lack of leverage and wealth‑building vehicles becomes more noticeable.
How EXP’s Model Changes The Equation
eXp’s cloud‑based structure reduces overhead and redirects value back to agents through features like stock opportunities (where eligible) and revenue share. Training, masterminds, and collaboration happen virtually, which expands access to top producers across markets instead of limiting learning to whoever happens to be in your local office.
Shaina helps agents understand the real numbers behind the move: current versus potential net income, fee structures, and how production, equity, and revenue share can work together over time. She also walks them through tech setup, business planning, and communication with clients so the transition feels organized instead of chaotic.
If you are weighing a move and want someone to walk you through how a shift to eXp could look step‑by‑step, schedule a partnership consult with Shaina.
