eXp Realty vs Traditional Brokerage: Which Is Better for Growth-Focused Agents?
If you are comparing eXp Realty vs a traditional brokerage, the real question is: do you want an office to sit in, or a platform and community that accelerates your growth? For agents who care about production, leverage, and long-term wealth, the differences are significant.
Traditional brokerages often revolve around physical offices, cubicles, and occasional in-person meetings, with limited collaboration outside your local area. eXp Realty, by contrast, is a cloud-based brokerage built around freedom, flexibility, and scale, connecting you with agents across the U.S. and internationally for referrals, masterminds, and business growth. You are not confined to the four walls of one office or market.
From a financial and business standpoint, eXp’s cap-based model allows producers to keep 100% of their commissions after capping (minus small transaction fees), and top agents can earn their cap back through the ICON Agent program. In addition, you can earn revenue share from agents you attract to the company, receive stock awards for production and contribution, and build long-term ownership instead of just collecting commission checks. You also have healthcare options and a global footprint in more than 27 countries.
Where many agents get stuck is implementation—knowing how to actually leverage everything eXp offers. That is where Agent Uplift comes in. By joining eXp and naming Shaina McAndrews as your sponsor, you step into Agent Uplift’s personalized onboarding, strategic planning, mindset coaching, and 90-day roadmap designed to launch and scale your business. You also gain access at no additional cost to elite networks like FastForward Movement, The Network, Four Aces, and Honey Badgers Nation for high-level masterminds, training tracks, and business coaching.
So if you are weighing eXp versus your current or a traditional brokerage, ask which environment gives you more leverage, more opportunity, and more support to grow—not just a place to print business cards.
