Questions
Brokerage change FAQ
Plain answers, including the ones recruiters usually skip.
Changing brokerages
How do I know it is time to change brokerages?
When you can name what you need — training, leverage, economics, leadership, ownership — and your current brokerage has been unable or unwilling to provide it after you asked directly.
What happens to my pending transactions?
They are usually completed under your current brokerage or transferred by written agreement between brokerages. Confirm the handling in writing before you announce anything.
Can I take my clients and database with me?
Your personal relationships and contacts come with you. Brokerage-provided leads, systems, and data generally stay. Read your independent contractor agreement.
How much notice should I give?
Follow your agreement, then add professional courtesy. Leaving well protects a reputation you will need in the same market for years.
Will I lose momentum?
Most agents who keep their lead generation hours untouched during the transition barely notice a dip. Agents who stop prospecting to do paperwork feel it for a quarter.
eXp Realty questions
Is eXp Realty a pyramid scheme?
No. It is a licensed real estate brokerage where agents earn commissions on transactions. Revenue share is an optional program paid from company revenue, and no one earns anything unless real estate is actually sold.
Do I have to recruit agents?
No. Many agents never sponsor anyone and simply use the capped split and support to run their sales business.
Is there an office I can use?
eXp does not require or supply traditional offices. Agents work from home, from co-working space, or wherever they choose, and collaborate virtually.
What does it cost?
A published commission split until an annual cap, a monthly technology and support fee, and standard per-transaction charges. Amounts change over time, so confirm current figures before deciding.
How does the sponsor decision work?
You name a sponsor when you join, and it is effectively permanent. Interview groups, sit in on training, and choose based on the support you can verify.
Team Legacy questions
What is Team Legacy?
A group of eXp Realty agents and leaders built around production: training, scripts, business planning, collaboration, leadership development, and agent attraction support.
Do I have to join to use this training?
No. The training library, scripts, objection handlers, and playbooks on this site are free and open, with no login required.
What happens when I request a conversation?
A short, private conversation about your business — what you produced, what is stuck, and what would change it. If eXp or Team Legacy is not the right fit, we will say so.
Is my information shared?
No. Anything you submit through this site stays private and is never published, sold, or displayed anywhere on the site.
