How eXp Onboarding Works (What to Expect & What You’ll Need)
This educational guide covers the typical U.S. onboarding process at eXp Realty — from application and activation to license transfer and tool setup — plus a checklist to make your transition smooth.
At a Glance
4 phases from “Apply” to “Sell”
- Apply: Submit your join application.
- Activate: Once active in Enterprise, you’ll get a Welcome Email. A $149 join fee is usually charged within 24–48 hours.
- License Transfer: Your State Broker Team sends you instructions to affiliate your license.
- Set Up Tools: Complete Okta/SSO, MyeXp, choose your CRM of Choice (BoldTrail, Lofty, Cloze), SkySlope, Workplace, and eXp World.
New agents: With fewer than 3 transactions in the last 12 months, you’ll join the Mentor Program until graduation. Required mentee transactions include an extra 20% split (10% to eXp, 10% to mentor).
Co-Sponsor (optional): Agents joining on/after May 1, 2025 may select a Co-Sponsor within 5 days. This is separate from your Primary Sponsor.
