Short answer: eXp Realty agents in the U.S. keep 80% of each commission until they've paid eXp $16,000 in their anniversary year, then keep 100% for the rest of that year, paying $250 per deal for the next 20 deals and $75 per deal after that. On top of that there's a $149 one-time start-up fee, an $85 monthly fee, a $25 broker review fee and a $60 risk management fee per deal.

What isn't included?

Your MLS, board and association dues, your marketing, and any team split. Budget for these separately.

How fast will I cap?

At an 80/20 split you reach the cap after about $80,000 in gross commission. Example: 8 deals at $10,000 each.

Does joining an eXp team change my cap?

It can. Team caps vary by team; ask your sponsor. Team members also usually pay a team split, so get both in writing.

What do I pay after I cap?

After you cap, you pay $250 per deal for your next 20 deals, then $75 per deal for the rest of your anniversary year.
