Frequently Asked Questions About eXp Realty
Is eXp Realty an MLM or legitimate brokerage?
eXp is a legitimate licensed real estate brokerage that uses MLM-style revenue sharing for agent recruitment. Agents earn primarily from selling real estate, with revenue sharing as supplemental income. It's a hybrid model.
How does eXp revenue sharing work?
eXp pays revenue share from the company dollar (their portion of commissions) for agents you recruit, extending 7 levels deep. This creates incentive to recruit productive agents but doesn't require you to recruit to earn from your own sales.
