Training Showdown for New Agents: Keller Williams vs. Agent Uplift at eXp
As a new agent, training is often your biggest concern—and it should be. You do not just need information; you need a paced, proven system that takes you from “licensed” to “in production” without burning out or getting lost. Keller Williams and eXp with Agent Uplift both talk about training, but how they deliver it looks very different.
At Keller Williams, training is typically centered around your local market center: in-person classes, office meetings, and locally led workshops. That can be a great fit if your specific office has strong trainers and a culture of hands-on mentorship, but the experience can vary widely depending on leadership, schedule, and who is willing to pour into you. You may get some great sessions—but you may also find gaps in follow-through, accountability, or advanced training once you are past the basics.
Agent Uplift within eXp is built from the ground up as a structured launch and growth system. New agents can access pre-licensing guidance, CE Shop support, companion study videos, and then transition into a 90-day launch program with daily plans, account setup, tools access, onboarding, and accountability once licensed. They are then supported by ongoing pipeline and conversion coaching, weekly group calls, 1:1 support, systems setup, and motivating community, as well as production and training programs like eXp’s FastCap, which offers live daily Zoom calls, trackable weekly objectives, scripts, presentations, and replays.
This means you are not relying on whatever happens to be offered in your local office that month. You tap into a national ecosystem of training tracks such as New Agent Launch, Solo Agent, and Revenue Share Growth through the FastForward Movement, plus a searchable library of replays and plug-and-play strategies. All of this sits on top of eXp’s full tech and business platform—CRM, transaction management, collaboration hub, branding tools, and more—included with your split.
There is no separate coaching fee to access Agent Uplift. Your only cost is joining eXp Realty and naming Shaina McAndrews as your sponsor, which unlocks Agent Uplift, FastForward, The Network, and Honey Badgers Nation at no additional charge beyond being an eXp agent. If you want training that is structured, repeatable, and not dependent on one local office, go to https://agentupliftcommunity.com and see how this path stacks up against a traditional Keller Williams experience.
