eXp’s Co-Sponsor Change – Grab Explosive Revenue Sharing Growth

Key Points:

• eXp’s Co-Sponsor Program (May 2025): Agents choose two sponsors—Primary (onboarding, upline access) and Co-Sponsor (optional local support within 5 days).
• Fix sponsor regrets: Align with high-value teams for better mentorship, tools, and rev-share growth without leaving eXp.
• Full rev-share for both: Both sponsors earn 100% through Tier 7. Primary gets stock bonuses; Co-Sponsor earns Fast Start bonuses.
• Replace unhelpful Co-Sponsors: Agents can switch if support is lacking.
• Boost agent success: Dual support = faster onboarding, retention, and stronger downlines.
• Tap elite teams (e.g., Smart Agent Alliance): Access tools, trainings, and pathways to join top networks by co-sponsoring agents.
• Win-win structure: Primary focuses on systems; Co-Sponsor provides local guidance—both profit from agent growth.
• Get started: Partner with proven teams, leverage their resources, and communicate consistently to scale your downline.

Yep, seriously. eXp’s new Co-Sponsor Program (launched May 1, 2025) is a total game-changer, even if you’ve already joined. This blog breaks down exactly how it works  – and introduces you to one powerhouse sponsor team that can turn your frustration into momentum.

Let’s get on with this information from an eXp agent’s view. Here’s your handy-dandy index:

What is eXp Sponsorship?

With the launch of the eXp Co-Sponsor Program, new agents joining eXp can now name two sponsors:

The message from eXp is loud and clear: more agent support = more agent success.

Smart agents will choose an organized powerhouse team with systems and a free value stack as their primary sponsor  – and they’ll choose a local agent as co-sponsor for that in-market edge.

Who Can Be a Co-Sponsor?

Any eXp Realty agent can be named as a Primary or Co-Sponsor  – regardless of age, experience, or production. The only rule? You and your co-sponsor can’t be in the same 7 levels of a revenue sharing tree. That’s it.

Why Co-Sponsorship Is a Total Game-Changer

Tap into a Successful Team’s Value

Here’s the real deal: this new program gives you the chance to align with value-packed sponsor teams  – without spending years building, paying for and providing all the tech, tools, and value yourself. Now you can promote the value of a top-tier sponsor team and benefit!  Partner up, co-sponsor smart, and boom: you’re suddenly offering massive value that opens doors you couldn’t access solo.

More Successful Downlines

With a value-packed primary sponsor and you as a co-sponsor, agents get more support from day one, they onboard faster, produce more, and stick around longer. This program will improve outcomes for agents – meaning you get more downline rev share income for longer.

A Win for eXp Culture

Fixing the Old System

In the past, if an agent joined eXp without naming a sponsor, the company auto-assigned a local agent  – free revenue share with zero effort. That’s over.

Under the new Co-Sponsor Program, those agents are now labeled Co-Sponsors, and if they’re not bringing value, they can be replaced. Why the change? Probably because random local sponsors didn’t help agents succeed  – most lacked systems, and let’s be real, no one wants to mentor their competition.

The message is clear: if you’re going to be someone’s Co-Sponsor, bring something to the table.

Sponsor Types & Details

Let’s get into the details. If you don’t totally understand the basics of eXp’s revenue sharing model, check out our Revenue Share 2.0 breakdown. Otherwise, this next part might feel like reading IKEA instructions in Klingon.

Now, here’s the part that surprises most agents:
There’s little financial difference between being a Primary Sponsor, a Co-Sponsor, or a regular Sponsor at eXp. The system is designed so you can win no matter your title  – as long as you bring value.

Let’s break it down:

If You’re Named as a Sponsor (standard model):

• ✅ FLQA credit to unlock revenue share tiers 4–7
• ✅ $400 stock award when the agent closes their first deal
• ✅ Fast Start bonus: up to $4,000 in their first year
• ✅ Access to all 7 tiers of revenue share income

If You’re Named as a Primary Sponsor (during onboarding):

• ✅ FLQA credit to unlock tiers 4–7
• ✅ $400 stock bonus on their first closing
• ✅ Agent lands on your Tier 2 → you earn from Tiers 2–7
• ❌ No Tier 1 pay meaning no Fast Start bonus

If You’re Named as a Co-Sponsor (within 5 days of joining):

• ✅ Fast Start bonus: up to $4,000 during the agent’s first year
• ✅ Access to all 7 tiers of revenue share income
• ❌ No stock award or FLQA credit

What the New Agent Gets from the Co-Sponsor Program:

• ✅ Full upline access and support from their Primary Sponsor
• ✅ Your individual support as Co-Sponsor (not your upline  – just you)
• ✅ Ability to change Co-Sponsors if you disappear
• ✅ A better shot at success (which helps you earn too)

The Bottom Line:
Whether you’re the Primary Sponsor, the Co-Sponsor, or just a regular Sponsor  –  everyone wins.

How Is eXp’s Co-Sponsor Program Different from Other Brokerages?

Yes, if you don’t already know, you should know that some other brokerages also allow two sponsors  – but here’s why eXp’s setup is actually built to benefit you a lot more.

Full Revenue Share. No Splitting

At eXp, both the Primary Sponsor and Co-Sponsor earn 100% of their revenue share. No dividing it up, no trickle-down scraps  – just full payouts through tier 7.

At other brokerages, revenue share is often split in half on each level, leaving agents with tiny leftovers. Not fun. Not scalable.

Exclusive Sponsor Value

Our Team’s Offer to You

Here’s the twist you probably didn’t see coming…

Maybe you joined eXp, picked a sponsor too fast, and now you’re stuck wishing you’d joined a top-tier team instead. Until now, your only option was to leave eXp for a full year and come back under someone new. Brutal.

But thanks to the Co-Sponsor Program  – and a little creative strategy  – there’s another way.

If you partner with Smart Agent Alliance, you can earn your way into full access to our exclusive systems and support.

Here’s how it works:

Bring in 5 agents with you as their Co-Sponsor, and SAA as their Primary Sponsor

When you do, you also get access to our full value stack  – not just your agents – so you become like a de facto member of Smart Agent Alliance.

Bring in 5 more, and the Wolf Pack upline unlocks for you too – same thing, now you’re like a de facto member of the Wolf Pack too.

That’s top-level training, lead systems, marketing tools, and automated funnels  – built over years and thousands of hours  – all in your hands. Not promised. Delivered.

Are there rules? Of course. We don’t hand over our gold to just anyone. But if you show up, bring value, and follow the path, we’ve got a seat for you at the table.

Want to unlock what you thought you missed? That’s how to do it.

How to Get Started

Ready to grow your revenue sharing downline through co-sponsorship? Good. Here’s how to get moving – without fumbling the ball.

Step 1: Do Your Homework

Do online research and find Primary Sponsors you actually want to align with. Look for eXp sponsor teams that clearly outline their value packages – like we do on the Smart Agent Alliance Team Value page. If the value is vague, skip it. You’re looking for proven systems, not fluff.

Step 2: Raise Your Hand

Once you’ve found a team worth backing, reach out. Let them know you’re interested in co-sponsoring agents with them and confirm exactly what they offer – so you’re never overpromising on their behalf.

Step 3: Keep the Relationship Solid

Great sponsor partnerships are built on trust, communication, and consistency. Keep it professional, and you’ll build the kind of collaboration that actually grows your revenue share line.

Why eXp’s Co-Sponsor Program Is a Total Power Move

With eXp’s new Co-Sponsor Program, agents can finally tap into powerhouse sponsor teams  – without having to build value from scratch. Whether you’re looking to grow your downline, fix a past sponsor regret, or simply offer more support, this model changes everything for smart agents who want to scale faster.
