Before making a team or brokerage decision, it can help to review the broader eXp Realty model. The Resource Center organizes educational guides covering commission splits, caps, ICON Agent, onboarding, revenue share, co-sponsorship, teams, brokerages, and cloud brokerage comparisons.
Why Teams & Brokerages Explore eXp Realty
Independent teams and brokerages often explore eXp Realty because the model can reduce physical overhead, create more flexibility, support scalable growth, and provide access to technology, training, collaboration, revenue share, and equity opportunities.
The goal is not simply to move agents into a different brokerage. The goal is to evaluate whether a cloud-based model can help your organization grow while preserving culture, leadership, and the brand identity your team or brokerage has already built.
Lower Overhead Potential
A cloud brokerage model may reduce the need for traditional office expenses, franchise fees, and duplicated systems while still allowing leaders to build local collaboration and support.
Scalable Growth
eXp Realty can support growth across markets through virtual collaboration, cloud-based systems, national and global networking, and a structure that is not limited to one physical location.
Team Culture Can Remain
A team or brokerage can still maintain leadership, systems, branding, accountability, and culture while exploring the broader infrastructure and support available through eXp.
Additional Opportunity Layers
Team leaders may evaluate revenue share, equity opportunities, ICON, onboarding, technology, training, and agent support as part of the bigger long-term decision.

Compare Traditional vs CloudFinancial Incentives for Teams & Brokerages
eXp Realty has offered programs designed to support qualifying teams and independent brokerages exploring a transition. These programs may include equity opportunities, transition support, revenue share opportunities, and access to cloud-based systems.
Program names, eligibility requirements, equity details, and availability may change over time. Team leaders and brokerage owners should always verify current details directly with eXp Realty leadership before making decisions.
Boost Program
The Boost program has been associated with larger teams and brokerages that meet specific production, agent count, and cultural alignment requirements. It may provide transition support and equity-related opportunities for qualifying organizations.
Thrive Program
The Thrive program has been associated with support for smaller or growing teams that may not meet larger program thresholds. Availability and requirements should always be confirmed with current eXp Realty guidance.
Flexible Team Structures
Teams come in different sizes, production levels, and leadership structures. eXp Realty provides multiple team options, allowing leaders to evaluate a structure that fits their organization rather than assuming every team should operate the same way.
Standard Teams
Standard team structures can support agents working together under a team leader while maintaining the broader benefits and resources available through eXp Realty.
Self-Organized Teams
Self-organized structures may provide additional flexibility for agents who collaborate closely but do not need every element of a more traditional team model.
Domestic Teams
Domestic team structures may be available for qualifying spouses or partners who operate together. Current eligibility and requirements should be confirmed directly with eXp.
Team structures, caps, fees, requirements, and policies can vary. Always confirm the current structure that applies to your organization before making a transition.
Technology, Training & Support
For teams and brokerages, technology matters most when it helps agents operate more efficiently, communicate consistently, access training, and receive support without creating unnecessary complexity.
Cloud-Based Operations
eXp Realty operates primarily through a cloud-based brokerage model, giving agents and leaders access to many brokerage resources without relying on a traditional physical office.
Training & Collaboration
Agents can access training, meetings, collaboration, and educational resources through eXp's virtual environment and broader agent community.
Agent Support
Broker support, transaction resources, onboarding, technology assistance, and other systems are designed to help agents operate within the brokerage.
Can Teams Still Have a Physical Office?
A cloud-based brokerage does not necessarily mean a team has to eliminate every physical workspace. Teams may still choose to maintain local office, meeting, training, or collaboration space when it makes sense for their business.
The difference is that the brokerage infrastructure itself is not built around requiring every agent to work from a traditional brick-and-mortar brokerage office.

Traditional vs Cloud BrokerageHow a Team or Brokerage Can Explore Joining eXp Realty
Moving an established team or brokerage deserves more planning than a standard individual-agent transfer. A thoughtful process can help leaders evaluate the financial structure, agent experience, technology, transition requirements, and long-term fit before making a decision.
1. Evaluate Your Current Model
Review your current expenses, commission structure, technology, support systems, office costs, agent services, culture, and growth goals.
2. Understand the eXp Model
Research commission splits, caps, fees, team structures, revenue share, equity opportunities, ICON, technology, training, and brokerage support.
3. Review Team-Specific Options
Discuss your organization with someone who can help identify the current eXp team or brokerage structures and transition programs that may apply.
4. Build a Transition Plan
Consider licensing, current transactions, agent communication, technology migration, branding, onboarding, office decisions, and the timing of a potential move.
