How Collaboration, Events, and Global Connection Actually Work

About eXp Realty

Updated: Jan 7, 2026

Key Takeaway: eXp Realty community is not a vibe or a slogan. It is an operating layer built into the brokerage. Agents collaborate daily across markets, attend live events that actually drive production, and plug into a global network that makes a large brokerage feel personal. Community at eXp exists at three levels: daily collaboration, live events, and local connection. Smart Agent Alliance adds an additional layer of structured community on top.

TL;DR About eXp Realty Community

  • eXp agents collaborate instead of competing because the model removes local scarcity.
  • Daily collaboration happens inside eXp World, eXp Hub, and sponsor-led masterminds.
  • Live events like EXPCON and regional rallies turn online relationships into real-world momentum.
  • Local meetups and global locations keep the cloud brokerage grounded.
  • Smart Agent Alliance adds consistent, organized collaboration inside the larger eXp ecosystem.

Most brokerages talk about culture. Few design for it.

At many traditional firms, “community” means occasional office meetings, surface-level networking, or competition disguised as camaraderie. At eXp Realty, community is built into how agents work, learn, and grow. Collaboration is not optional or accidental. It is structural.

This page is the hub for our eXp Realty Community series. Below is a big-picture map of how collaboration, events, and global connection actually function at eXp, with links to deep-dive guides for each piece so you can explore what matters most to you.

How eXp Realty Community Is Structured

eXp is a cloud brokerage, but that does not mean agents operate in isolation. Instead of one physical office, eXp built multiple overlapping community layers:

How eXp Realty Community Is Structured
  • Daily collaboration through virtual platforms
  • Live events that create momentum and relationships
  • Local connection through meetups and global office access
  • Sponsor teams that make a large brokerage feel small

Each layer serves a different purpose, but together they create a working community that supports production, learning, and long-term growth.

Daily Collaboration Inside eXp Realty

The core of eXp Realty community is daily collaboration. Agents do not wait for annual conferences to connect. They collaborate every week, often every day. At a high level, eXp Realty community is built around daily collaboration. Agents do not wait for annual conferences to connect.

eXp World and eXp Hub

eXp World is the company’s virtual campus where agents attend live training, host meetings, and collaborate across markets. eXp Hub functions as the always-on communication layer, where agents share strategies, referrals, and real-time problem solving.

This combination replaces the traditional office model with something more scalable. Instead of learning only from the agents in your zip code, you learn from producers across the country and around the world.

Live Events and In-Person Connection

Online collaboration is powerful. Live events are where relationships deepen and momentum accelerates.

EXPCON and Major Company Events

EXPCON is eXp Realty’s flagship event. It brings agents together for multi-day training, strategy, leadership updates, and networking that actually leads to referrals and partnerships. This is where agents meet the people they have been collaborating with all year and turn digital relationships into real business.

Regional Rallies and Market-Specific Events

Between major conferences, eXp hosts regional rallies designed around local markets. These events focus on market-specific strategies, regional networking, and practical execution. They help bridge the gap between big-picture ideas and daily production.

In addition to company-hosted events, some sponsor organizations host their own in-person gatherings. These are not required by eXp, but the best sponsor teams use them to strengthen connection, collaboration, and accountability.

Local Connection Without Traditional Offices

Even though eXp does not rely on brick-and-mortar offices, local connection still matters.

Agent-Led Local Meetups

Many eXp agents organize local meetups on their own. These range from casual coffee meetups to structured masterminds. Because the culture is collaborative rather than competitive, these gatherings tend to focus on sharing what works, not posturing.

Global Locations and Workspace Access

eXp agents also have access to physical meeting and workspace options through global office partnerships. This allows agents to meet clients, collaborate locally, or work while traveling, without being tied to a single office location.

You can explore how global access works and where agents can meet in person on the eXp Realty Locations page.

Where Sponsorship Fits Into eXp Community

Sponsorship at eXp exists alongside the brokerage, not above it. eXp provides the platform, systems, and global network. Sponsors determine how much additional community they create.

Many sponsors provide little or no ongoing connection. Some operate informal groups. A small number build structured communities with regular collaboration, training, and live interaction.

Smart Agent Alliance is one of those organized sponsor teams.

How Smart Agent Alliance Enhances eXp Realty Community

How Smart Agent Alliance Enhances eXp Realty Community

Smart Agent Alliance operates alongside eXp Realty’s community structure, adding an additional layer of organized collaboration.

Agents who join eXp Realty through a Smart Agent Alliance–aligned sponsor gain access to:

  • Weekly live collaboration calls with clear agendas
  • Consistent mastermind-style discussions led by active producers
  • Cross-market referral collaboration inside a smaller, trusted network
  • In-person meetups at major eXp events

This gives agents a “small room inside a big building.” You keep full access to eXp’s global community while also having a tighter group where people know your business, your goals, and your challenges.

Why eXp Realty Community Matters Before You Join

Most agents compare brokerages by splits and caps, not by how much time, money, and effort they will need to invest after joining to build systems, get support, or create leverage beyond transactions. Those costs often appear later in the form of software subscriptions, training programs, marketing assets, and trial and error.

At eXp Realty, agents join the brokerage directly and receive the same core platform, including compliance, compensation, and technology. What varies widely is the sponsor ecosystem an agent aligns with and how much real infrastructure exists beyond the brokerage itself.

Smart Agent Alliance operates as organized sponsor support inside eXp Realty for agents who want more capability without giving up independence. Access is included at no cost for agents who join through an SAA-aligned sponsor, and participation in all resources is optional. Agents aligned with Smart Agent Alliance also receive everything provided by the Wolf Pack, one of eXp Realty’s most established and successful sponsor organizations, without choosing between systems or paying additional fees.

In the context of community and collaboration, this difference shapes how connected or isolated agents feel once they join. As a result, much of the work agents often end up doing on their own is already built and maintained for them. Smart Agent Alliance provides infrastructure for leadership access, collaboration, training, and optional agent attraction support, making it easier to grow inside eXp without rebuilding systems from scratch. Much of this value exists on the open market and can be purchased independently. Here, it is already in place.

With no cost to join, no obligation to participate, and full control retained, agents effectively have nothing to lose and meaningful support to gain, whether they are brand-new, experienced producers, or team leaders.
