Can a real estate team or brokerage move to eXp Realty?

Updated Oct 21, 2026 · By Leo Robles, founder of Let's Grow Movement, brokered by eXp Realty · $4.7B career sales · 7,990 closings in 2025

Short answer: Yes. eXp Realty says individual agents, teams and independent brokerages of all sizes are joining, and it offers two transition programs, Boost for independent brokerages and Thrive for culturally aligned producing teams. The move works best when the team leader or owner plans it with their sponsor and eXp's team integration staff before anyone fills out a join application.

What does eXp offer teams and brokerages that move over?

Program or option What eXp publishes What it means for you
Boost An incentive program for independent brokerages that need extra support in admin, tech and more (exprealty.com/join-exp) If you own a brokerage, ask whether you qualify before you set a move date. Eligibility is decided case by case.
Thrive Supports team operations and eases the transition for culturally aligned teams (exprealty.com/join-exp) If you lead a producing team, ask about Thrive early. Current incentives and eligibility can change.
Team structure Team members sign an eXp team addendum with the team leader, and team splits are entered on each transaction in SkySlope (eXp knowledge base) You keep your own team split and structure. Team caps vary by team, so ask your sponsor and get yours in writing.
Live overview A live eXp Explained session runs daily at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET (exprealty.com/join-exp) A low-pressure way for your agents to hear the model before your team meeting.

How does a team or brokerage move to eXp, step by step?

  1. Talk to a sponsor first. eXp tells teams to talk to their sponsor or a local eXp agent. A good sponsor helps you map your current costs and splits against eXp's.
  2. Ask about Boost or Thrive before you apply. Incentives are easier to discuss before anyone registers.
  3. Check your state's rules. Team names, marketing, branch offices and how you get paid are set by state license law, so confirm them with eXp's state broker team.
  4. Plan who moves when. eXp's knowledge base says team members can onboard before the team leader, but team agreements and pay plans can't be set up until the leader is active, unless an interim team leader is named.
  5. Handle your listings and pending deals. Review your current independent contractor agreement for what happens to listings and escrows when you leave. Our guide to switching brokerages covers this.
  6. Onboard together and set up the team. Each agent submits the join application, team addendums get signed, and your pay plans are set up in eXp's systems.

What should a team leader or broker-owner ask before moving?

  • What will my agents pay at eXp compared with today, deal by deal and year by year?
  • What is our team split and team cap, and how does it touch each agent's own $16,000 company cap?
  • Do we qualify for Boost or Thrive, and what exactly do those include right now?
  • Can we keep our team name and branding under our state's rules?
  • Who is our single point of contact during the move, and how fast do they answer?
  • What training, tools and AI systems will my agents get after day one?

Is moving my team to eXp the right call?

It tends to fit leaders who want to cut office overhead, keep running their own team culture and build long-term income through eXp's revenue share and stock programs. It can be a harder fit if your agents rely on a physical office every day or if your current contracts carry long notice periods.
