Getting your real estate license feels like graduating straight into the Hunger Games. Everyone’s got advice. Every brokerage claims to have “the best support.” Your instructor tells you one thing, your cousin’s friend’s neighbor tells you something else, and recruiters? Yeah, they’re practically throwing confetti with how amazing their office is.

But here’s the real talk: you’re not just picking a brokerage – you’re picking the entire foundation of your career. The difference between closing deals fast… or burning through your savings while Googling how to get clients at 2am.

That’s exactly why so many brand-new agents – especially the ones who want to actually survive year one – are choosing eXp Realty. Here’s your handy-dandy index:

What New Agents Actually Need (That Most Brokerages Don’t Deliver)

Let’s kill a few myths real quick: you don’t need a fancy lobby, a shiny franchise name, or an “atta boy” from your broker as they hand you a bill for desk fees. You need real stuff that actually helps you make money:

• Business systems: CRMs, websites, lead generation tools, and marketing systems already set up, so you’re not duct-taping it together while trying to find your next buyer.
• Support: Brokers, transaction managers, and admin staff who answer you before your deal implodes – not after.
• Modern marketing: Social media, video, online lead generation – not cold-calling scripts from 1987.

Sadly, most brokerages hand you a desk, a bill, and a “good luck out there.” Which is probably why so many new agents don’t make it past their first year.

How eXp Realty Solves the Biggest Challenges for New Agents

Here’s where eXp Realty stops playing around. They didn’t build this brokerage for agents who “want to figure it out someday.” They built it for new real estate agents who need an actual roadmap – not another motivational quote and a welcome packet.

Certified Mentor Program

Every new eXp Realty agent gets assigned an eXp certified mentor who’s walked this road before – and survived. This isn’t some random office manager who’s too busy managing office drama. This is one-on-one, deal-by-deal coaching from an experienced exp realty agent who helps you avoid rookie mistakes that blow up deals before you even cash your first commission check.

Training Systems

• 60+ Hours of Live Weekly Training: Real-world topics like contracts, lead generation, marketing, negotiation, business planning, and more – all taught by top eXp agents and staff.
• Bonus Sponsor Team Training: If you choose a powerful eXp Realty sponsor, many offer even more weekly live coaching stacked on top of eXp’s core training.

On-Demand Training Library

Access hundreds of hours of on-demand training 24/7 – because your business questions don’t only show up Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. Sponsor team libraries often add even more content so you’ve got the answers you need when you need them.

Broker and Transaction Support

Full-time state brokers and transaction managers are standing by every single business day via eXp World, Workplace Chat, or email. When your deal goes sideways (because at some point it will), you’re not left sending smoke signals and praying for a callback.

Collaboration & Community

Unlike traditional real estate brokerages that limit you to whoever happens to sit in your office, eXp Realty connects you to a national (and international) cloud-based community of eXp Realty agents. You learn directly from some of the most productive agents in the company – not just whoever drew the short straw at Tuesday’s office meeting.

The Modern Brokerage Model That Actually Helps New Agents

Most real estate brokerages still operate like it’s 1998 – complete with overpriced office space, mystery fees, and “team leaders” who take half your check while offering “mentorship” that mostly consists of vague advice like work harder.

Here’s the reality check:

Traditional Brokerages:

eXp Realty:

• You start at an 80/20 commission split with a $16,000 cap  –  even as a new real estate agent.
• You get a path to earn your $16,000 cap back in company stock – yep, earning 100% for the year.
• No franchise fees. No royalty fees. No desk fees. No surprise monthly invoices that feel like subscription hell.
• Your full CRM (choose BoldTrail, Lofty, or Cloze), your website (when you choose BoldTrail or Lofty), and full business systems are included in your $85/month fee.

At eXp Realty, you get the actual tools, support, and systems you need to grow your business – without getting crushed under fees before your first deal even closes.

What New Agents Actually Say After Joining eXp

You don’t have to take our word for it – actual eXp Realty agents are saying it loud and clear:

• “If you’re a new real estate agent, the training and flexibility for working with eXp are exceptional. The network of professionals is unmatched.”
• “Able to work fully remote and still get great training!”
• “I get to work at an Agent-Obsessed company! They care, they want us to succeed, and the business model is aligned for our long-term benefit and success!”

And that’s not just a few happy campers. eXp Realty sits at a 4.6-star rating on Glassdoor, which is 21% higher than the industry average. When you filter to agents only? It jumps to 4.7 stars. Translation: the people actually doing the job are happy.

Here’s what new eXp agents consistently say after joining:

• “I was nervous about not having a physical office, but the support is better than friends at traditional brokerages.”
• “The mentor program helped me avoid mistakes that could have cost me my first deals.”
• “Having daily access to brokers gave me confidence to handle contracts and negotiations quickly.”
• “The live training made me feel like I actually knew what I was doing faster than I expected.”

If you’re a new real estate agent trying to avoid the classic first-year faceplant, this is the kind of support that keeps your deals – and your career – alive.

Why New Agents Are Succeeding Faster at eXp Realty

At the end of the day, it’s not about who has the biggest office lobby or the fanciest business cards. None of that helps you close your first deal. You need:

• Actual clients.
• Actual deals closed.
• Actual people helping you build your business.

That’s exactly why so many new real estate agents are launching strong at eXp Realty – many closing their first transactions within just a few months.

And here’s where the Smart Agent Alliance sponsor team takes it even further. You’re not out there flailing on your own, trying to figure it all out.
