The Biggest Mistake Agents Make When They Join eXp
If you are thinking about joining eXp Realty, you are probably focused on the big questions. Is eXp worth it. How does rev share really work. What does the support look like. Will this actually help my business grow. All of those questions matter.
But there is one decision that matters even more than most agents realize: who you join under.
The biggest mistake agents make when they join eXp is treating the sponsor choice like it does not really matter. They join under the first person who talks to them. They join under someone who promises big things but has no real systems. They join under someone who is great at recruiting but not great at building agents. They join under someone who disappears once the paperwork is signed. And then they wonder why eXp feels underwhelming, confusing, or no different than where they came from.
Here is the truth.
eXp is a powerful platform. But a platform without the right environment is just software and logos. Your sponsor and the team you plug into determine:
How much real support you actually get
Whether you have systems or are still guessing
Who helps you when deals get complicated
Whether you grow faster or stay stuck
Whether rev share becomes a long‑term asset or just noise
On the Shaina McAndrews Team at eXp Realty, we do not use eXp as a sales pitch. We use it as the foundation for building real businesses. We focus on:
Helping agents grow their production first
Clear processes for buyers, sellers, and transactions
Real contract and strategy support
Smart use of technology to create leverage, not overwhelm
Paths to leadership, expansion, and additional income
A culture that rewards contribution, not just headcount
We want our agents to win, not just join. We want you to build a better business, not just change brokerages. And yes, we want you to grow here—even if that growth eventually leads you into leadership or building something bigger inside or beyond the team. That is not a threat to us. That is the point.
If you are going to make a move to eXp, do not make the most common and costly mistake. Do not join under someone just because they were first, loudest, or flashiest.
Talk to me first.
Before you choose who to join under at eXp, schedule a confidential, no‑pressure call.
We will talk about your business, your goals, what you actually need, and whether our team is the right platform for your next level. Choosing eXp is one decision. Choosing the right environment inside eXp is the one that actually determines your results.
