Quick Summary: eXp ICON Agent Program
This guide explains the eXp ICON Agent Program, including qualification requirements, production requirements, stock awards, cultural contribution requirements, event awards, vesting rules, and common questions from agents evaluating eXp Realty.
What Is ICON?
ICON recognizes agents who meet certain production requirements and demonstrate eXp’s core values within a 12-month capping period. ICONs are invited to exclusive groups and events for collaboration and growth.
How to Qualify
Agents must first cap ($16,000) and then achieve additional production requirements during their anniversary year. Transactions must be fully settled and properly documented in SkySlope. The ICON team confirms eligibility.
Official Notification
Once the Production Requirement is met, agents are typically notified by the ICON Program by the 25th of the following month. From there, they complete additional steps for full ICON benefits.
