Take Your Real Estate Career to the Next Level with EXP Realty

Unlock Your Full Potential with eXp Realty

Are you a real estate agent looking to take your career to the next level? Joining eXp Realty with me as your sponsor could be the game-changer you've been searching for. eXp Realty is not just a brokerage; it's a revolutionary platform that empowers agents to succeed in ways never before possible. Here are some compelling reasons why you should choose eXp Realty and partner with me as your sponsor:

1. Industry-Leading Technology

eXp Realty provides its agents with access to cutting-edge technology and tools that simplify and enhance your real estate business. From cloud-based transaction management to virtual reality showings, eXp equips you with the tools needed to streamline operations and provide exceptional service to your clients.

2. Lucrative Revenue Share Program

One of the standout features of eXp Realty is its innovative revenue share program. As an agent, you have the opportunity to earn a percentage of the gross commission income generated by agents you sponsor into the company. This residual income stream can provide financial security and long-term wealth, setting you up for a prosperous future.

3. Virtual Office Environment

Say goodbye to the traditional brick-and-mortar office. eXp Realty's virtual office environment allows you to work from anywhere, collaborate with other agents, and attend training and meetings in a fully immersive, 3D virtual world. This flexibility empowers you to create a work-life balance that suits your needs. We also all receive access to all Regus lounges and can bring a guest for those days we simply need to get out. Agents or networks of agents have also opened up their own office space on their own- if you are in the Greater Philadelphia area you have access to our office in Bryn Mawr or our title office for closings as well as other locations.

4. Training and Support

eXp Realty is committed to the success of its agents. You'll have access to top-notch training programs, mentorship opportunities, and a supportive community of fellow agents. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the industry, eXp's resources are designed to help you thrive.

5. Global Expansion

With eXp Realty, you're not limited to a local market. eXp's international presence allows you to expand your business globally, tapping into markets across the United States, Canada, and beyond. The possibilities are limitless.

6. Low-Cost Business Model

eXp Realty offers a low-cost business model with competitive commission splits and reasonable transaction fees. This means more money in your pocket and greater control over your financial future.

7. Revolutionary Stock Program

Agents at eXp Realty have the opportunity to earn company stock, providing an additional layer of financial security. This program aligns your success with the growth of the company. I personally put 5% of my commission from each transaction into the stock program. Retirement should not be a myth for agents- every bit helps!

8. Environment of Collaboration

At eXp Realty, agents work together, not in competition with one another. The collaborative culture fosters a sense of community, camaraderie, and shared success. Tune into weekly masterminds from ICON agents around the country!

9. Personalized Coaching

When you join eXp Realty with me as your sponsor, you'll benefit from personalized coaching and guidance to help you navigate the eXp platform, maximize your earnings, and achieve your career goals.

10. Lead Programs

Through the eXp REVENOS department, there are many lead generating methods at eXp you can qualify for! No upfront cost- just a referral fee to eXp when it closes. The certificate programs to unlock these leads is another fantastic way to dive into a real estate subject as well such as relocation or REO.

11. CAP

Wouldn’t it be great to CAP?! Capping occurs when you hit the ceiling that the brokerage wants. After you CAP, you take home the majority of the commission minus a very small transaction fee. It does not take a high volume to CAP and it is my goal to help every agent I sponsor to CAP each year. The CAP renews with your anniversary date, not the calendar year so you can join anytime!

11. Multiple Streams of Income

If you have been in this industry and simply working for your commission and have no other streams coming in, you have been missing out on lots of opportunity. When I am your sponsor, I will make sure I set you upon the right path to have multiple streams of income which will build year after year.

12. Mentorship

If you have done less than 3 deals in the past 12 months, you will need a mentor for your first 3 deals. As your sponsor, I help with coaching. As your mentor, we have a set program and meeting time to dive into relevant topics so that you know what you are doing to help your clients. If you join the team I am your mentor.

13. Team

Although not mandatory, if you feel that being an independent agent does not support your business needs, then we can discuss you joining my team. Team members have the added benefits of being first in line for lead opportunities, shared deals, paid showings, and special trainings. Team members are provided with a transaction coordinator to handle their compliance and contracts which takes 80% of the work off the team member’s plate from contract to close. Team members interested in dialing are provided a dialer and lists to call on (must commit to X calls per month). Most team members choose the option of a lower Cap when selecting which plan is right for them. There is also a semi-team member model available for out of state team members or agents who are not full time yet.

14. In-Person events

If I am your sponsor or team lead, you are invited to in-person events in the Greater Philadelphia region. These may be wellness events, educational events, networking happy hours, etc. If you are outside of this area, we still have meet ups at various conferences including EXPCON which is the major event of the year. These are on top of the many virtual events each week.

15. Business Planning

Tired of the same old goal setting workshops? We are going to dive into your business and your goals and help you get there.

Join eXp Realty today and let me be your guide to success. Together, we'll unlock the full potential of your real estate career. Contact me now to learn more and take the first step toward a brighter future in real estate.

How to Become a Real Estate Agent in PA:

Here is a link to the Pennsylvania Department of State website, where you will find the requirements for licensure in Pennsylvania:

Pennsylvania Department of State- Real Estate Salesperson License.

To obtain a Pennsylvania real estate salesperson license, you will need to meet several qualifications:

You must hold a high school diploma or equivalent.
You must pass a criminal background check.
You must take and pass two courses (Real Estate Practice and Real Estate Fundamentals).
You must apply for, take, and pass the state-administered licensing exam.

*If PA is your secondary license, you MUST join PAR!

Eligibility & Requirements: Real Estate Salesperson License by the Standard Method

Real Estate Salespersons may be granted licensure by the standard method once they have completed and passed both portions of the Salesperson Examination. Real Estate Salespersons who have held an active salesperson license in another state within the last five years do not need to complete the General/National portion of the examination in order to be eligible for licensure in PA. However, all applicants by the standard method must contact Pearson Vue prior to applying for licensure in order to register for, sit for, and pass the examination relevant to the license they seek. Please visit the Helpful Links section of this guide for the link to Pearson Vue website, where you must register. Before registering for the exam, make sure you meet the education requirements.

To qualify to sit for the examinations, applicants must complete 75 hours (5 credits) of basic real estate courses from an accredited college or an approved real estate education provider in this Commonwealth. Courses must have been completed within 5 years prior to the date of successful completion of the licensing examination. You may also qualify if you received a bachelor’s degree with a major in Real Estate from an accredited college, a juris doctor degree from an accredited law school, or completed 75 hours of pre-licensure coursework in another state or other jurisdiction that was approved to meet the requirements for licensure in that state or other jurisdiction. Please read section 35.272 of the Real Estate Commission regulations for all information about educational requirements.

If you are currently licensed in another state and wish to be licensed in Pennsylvania, you must first contact Pearson Vue to register to sit for the Pennsylvania State portion of the examination only. You must first meet the educational requirements outlined in section 35.272 of the Real Estate Commission regulations. Once you have passed the PA State portion of the exam, you are able to apply for licensure.

If you have never been licensed in any state or jurisdiction, you must complete the education requirements as outlined in section 35.272 of the Real Estate Commission regulations before registering for the exams. Please read the full section of the regulations for all information about educational requirements. Once you have passed both portions of the exam you may apply for licensure.

I personally like Polley for classes- they offer a wide variety online and in-person:

Polley Associates Real Estate Education, Licensing Courses

Education’s complete! Now what?

Finish both courses. Pass both course tests.
Use the transcript you receive, and a designated form, to apply for and take the state licensing exam.
The exam is offered at approved centers or via webcam proctoring.
It costs $49 every time to take the exam.
It consists of 120 questions divided into two sections. You have 3 hours to complete it. You must pass each section with a score of 75 or higher.
You’ll learn immediately at the testing center/online whether you passed or must re-take the licensing exam.

If you pass, you’ll receive a receipt. Keep it to claim your license.
Remember, you must pass a criminal background check to verify your license eligibility, and you must hold a high school diploma or its equivalent.
You must be affiliated with a real estate broker in PA who will serve as your legal supervisor so reach out to Shaina to get started!
The state will mail your license to your broker. Now you can start work!

FAQ:

Will you pay for me to get licensed?

I will not sponsor your license. You need to do it on your own. If you like to have things handed to you, this is not the right career path for you.

How much will I make as a network member?

You would be an independent contractor- how much you make is up to your ability to do the activities we tell you and do them well. There is no salary. Some opportunities to earn cash for showings etc. will be available.

What is the process to join?

Each individual will have a slightly different journey depending on their background. The best way to start is to schedule a phone call via Calendly with me.

I am an experienced agent, can I join?

Absolutely! After walking you through the onboarding process, I will customize a program for you if you are an experienced agent to make sure you are getting exactly what you need. I will connect you with who you need to know and provide guidance on setting up multiple streams of income. The Network offers great information to help grow your business and I will make sure you are tuned in to the important events and conversations that will help you grow your business.
