eXp Revenue Share 2.0: Unlocking Greater Earnings for Agents

December 1, 2024 @ArmkeySuccess

eXp Realty is once again revolutionizing the real estate industry with its groundbreaking programs. From the introduction of Revenue Share 2.0 to the launch of the ICON Incentive Program and Revenue Share Capping Incentive Program, eXp Realty continues to empower agents to achieve unparalleled financial success and career growth.

In this blog, we’ll break down these transformative initiatives and how they are reshaping opportunities for agents everywhere.

Revenue Share 2.0: A Game-Changing Update

Last year, eXp Realty distributed nearly $200 million in additional income to agents through its innovative Revenue Share program—on top of their full commissions. By rewarding agents for attracting new talent to the company, this program provides a substantial income boost and fosters collaboration across the eXp community.

With Revenue Share 2.0, eXp Realty has made it even easier for agents to access these benefits, reaffirming its commitment to being the most agent-centric brokerage in the industry.

New Initiatives Unveiled at eXpCon Miami

At eXpCon Miami, eXp Realty announced two transformative programs that complement Revenue Share 2.0:

ICON Incentive Program

This program offers exclusive benefits to agents who achieve the prestigious ICON Agent status, a designation for top performers.

• ICON Agents will receive 30 Front Line Qualifying Agents (FLQAs) for 13 months, maximizing their earning potential across all seven levels of Revenue Share.

• This enhancement significantly boosts long-term earnings and supports sustained business growth for elite agents.

Revenue Share Capping Incentive Program

This program rewards agents who cap through closed transactions with:

• 10 FLQAs for 13 months, unlocking earning potential through level 5 of Revenue Share.

• This additional revenue stream positions agents for accelerated growth and increased financial success.

“These initiatives reflect our unwavering commitment to empowering agents in a dynamic industry,” said Glenn Sanford, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of eXp World Holdings. “We’re not just recognizing outstanding performance; we’re giving entrepreneurial agents the tools and incentives to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.”

How Revenue Share Works

eXp Realty’s Revenue Share program, or “REV Share,” rewards agents for sponsoring others to join the brokerage. Here’s the process:

1. Sponsorship Income: Agents earn income from commissions generated by those they directly sponsor (Tier 1).

2. Cascading Growth: When those sponsored agents attract new talent, those recruits fall into Tier 2, and so on, cascading down seven tiers.

This ripple effect creates exponential income growth. For example, sponsoring just two producing agents, who each sponsor two more, can grow your downline to 128 agents by Tier 7, all contributing to your Revenue Share income.

Where Does the Money Come From?

Revenue Share income is entirely funded by eXp Realty’s portion of the commission split, leaving agents' earnings untouched.

Here’s how it works:

• Commission Split: eXp collects a 20% commission split from agents until they reach their annual cap of $16,000.

• 100% Commission After Capping: Once agents cap, they retain 100% of their commissions for the rest of their anniversary year.

• Revenue Share Redistribution: eXp redistributes 50% of its company dollars (from the commission split) back to agents through the Revenue Share program, fostering a collaborative, agent-first culture that rewards growth and teamwork.

This innovative model ensures agents benefit directly from eXp’s success while building wealth through collaboration and sponsorship.

How eXp Redistributes 50% of Its Company Dollars

eXp Realty subdivides the 50% of its commission splits from each transaction into seven tiers, ensuring agents benefit from their direct sponsorships and the cascading growth of their networks. The tier breakdown is as follows:

• Tier 1: 17.5%

• Tier 2: 20%

• Tier 3: 12.5%

• Tier 4: 7.5%

• Tier 5: 5%

• Tier 6: 12.5%

• Tier 7: 25%

Example of Revenue Share Distribution

To simplify, let’s assume an agent caps by reaching the $16,000 limit. In this scenario, $8,000 (50%) of the commission split eXp received is added to the Revenue Share Pool. This amount is then distributed across seven tiers based on the percentages above:

• Tier 1: $1,400

• Tier 2: $1,600

• Tier 3: $1,000

• Tier 4: $600

• Tier 5: $400

• Tier 6: $1,000

• Tier 7: $2,000

This structured allocation rewards agents who actively grow the company by sponsoring and supporting other agents. Each tier reflects the cascading impact of network building, ensuring that contributors at all levels are appropriately compensated.

Through this innovative model, eXp Realty not only maximizes income opportunities for its agents but also fosters a culture of collaboration, shared success, and exponential growth.

Why FLQAs Are Key

Front Line Qualifying Agents (FLQAs) unlock additional tiers and maximize your earning potential.

• eXpansion Share: Earned from all producing agents in your downline.

• eXponential Share: Unlocks higher tiers with significantly higher income when your recruits meet milestones, such as closing two deals or earning $5,000 in Gross Commission Income (GCI) within six months.

Team Armkey provides unparalleled support to agents, helping them achieve FLQA milestones and fostering thriving, high-performing networks.
