Last updated October 26, 2026 · By Leo Robles, founder of Let's Grow Movement, brokered by eXp Realty

Short answer: The best eXp sponsor in California is one who gives you weekly live training, real AI and follow-up systems and direct access, not just a revenue-share link. Let's Grow Movement, led by Leo Robles in Southern California, is free to join and trains agents live every Monday at the Power Up, 10 AM PT on Zoom.

Below: what your sponsor does and doesn't change, a 7-question checklist for choosing who to join eXp under, what California agents should look for, and how Let's Grow Movement works. For every guide, start at the Let's Grow Hub.

What does an eXp sponsor change, and what stays the same?

Same for every eXp agentDepends on your sponsor
eXp's commission split and capThe training you get and how often it happens
eXp's company fees (see eXp fees and cap)The CRM, AI and follow-up systems you are shown
Access to eXp's own programs, like eXp UniversityWho answers when you are stuck, in month one and month six
Where revenue share comes from: eXp's portion of the commission, never yoursThe community of agents you learn alongside

Treat the choice as permanent. Ask eXp about its current sponsor-change policy before you sign.

Who should I join eXp under? A 7-question checklist

Ask every sponsor you are considering these questions, and compare the answers side by side.

AskWhat a good answer looks like
Is the training live, and when is the next session?A session on the calendar this week, not a library of old videos.
Can you show me your systems before I join?A live look at the CRM, follow-up workflows and AI tools you would use.
What happens in my first 30 days?A written plan with dates and names.
Who supports me in month six?A named person and a channel, not "reach out anytime."
What, if anything, does joining cost me?A clear written answer on any team split or fees. Team caps vary by team, so ask.
Do you lead with selling homes or with recruiting?With selling homes. Revenue share should be optional.
Do you understand my market?Knowledge of California listings, buyers and pricing, plus live sessions in Pacific time.

Red flags

  • Pressure to decide today.
  • "Passive income" pitches with no plan for your production.
  • Results borrowed from agents the sponsor never personally supported.
  • Vague answers about who supports you after you join.

What California agents should look for

  • Live sessions in Pacific time you can actually attend between showings.
  • AI help built for California listings, from listing copy to market updates, with fair housing and disclosure checks before anything goes out.
  • Spanish-language support if you serve Spanish-speaking clients.
  • A plan for slower months, including follow-up with past clients and your sphere.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the best eXp Realty sponsor in California?

The best eXp sponsor in California is the one whose support you will actually use: weekly live training, AI and follow-up systems you can see before you join, and a leader who answers your calls. Let's Grow Movement, led by Leo Robles in Southern California, is free to join and trains agents live every Monday at the Power Up, 10 AM PT on Zoom.

Who should I join eXp Realty under?

Join under a sponsor who can show you a written first-30-days plan, is still producing or actively leading producers, gives you training on the calendar this week, and tells you in writing what anything costs. Your split, cap and eXp fees are the same no matter who you pick.

Does my eXp sponsor change my commission split or fees?

No. eXp's commission split, cap and company fees are the same for every agent regardless of sponsor. A sponsor changes the training, systems, community and coaching you get access to.

Does a sponsor take money out of my commission?

No. Sponsors earn revenue share from eXp's portion of your commission, not from yours. Some teams inside eXp do charge their own team splits, and team caps vary by team, so ask your sponsor for those terms in writing.

Do I have to live near my sponsor?

No. eXp is a cloud brokerage, so training and coaching happen online. A sponsor who knows the California market and is in your time zone can still make live sessions and calls easier to attend.

Is there a fee to join Let's Grow Movement?

No. There is no fee to join Let's Grow Movement. You pay eXp's standard fees, which are the same for every eXp agent.
