eXp Realty vs. Keller Williams (In-Depth Comparison)

[@theglobalopportunity2732]

We are with eXp and it's been a great decision but this is such an individual choice for what's best for your business. Some ppl just like going to a brick and mortar and having a manager there and colleagues, etc.. It gives them structure and nothing wrong with that. I like eXp as I'm still selling real estate, that never changed, but I added 2 other streams of income. Again that's what was best for me. We never put down other brokerages and companies and not everyone in eXp is wearing a halo. Anyone reading this and considering eXp, be super diligent on choosing your sponsor. You would want consistent support from your upline and everyone connected with it. Best wishes and hope to see you on this side.

[@tanyason1138]

Thank you very much for this thorough review. It helped me quite a bit. I’m on disability and fearful of the transition. Having not worked since about 2011. I’m a quick learner. I’m very good with people, but I like the idea of the security of working from home, especially in light of the last few years. I’m wondering, does EXP offer a free training to get your license and support similar to the other? How would they support someone like myself who is disabled who is well at first maybe limited with what I can earn but they don’t want that they want you to desire to earn as much as possible, so I’m just wondering of, do they also offer support or paperwork and documentation and do you get your business license and do the assist with that? Lots of questions lol

[@emilyjean1212]

Hi Kyle! I am in the process of getting my license and will be ready to roll by June. I was considering Redfin to gain experience and zero prospecting. I have a family to support, so being able to get clients sent my way, right away is a plus. The downside is the comp structure. What would you say to a newbie like me that loves to work hard and the hustle, but concerned about the prospecting aspect of Real Estate and growing that pipeline to support my family right away?

[@KyleHandy]

If you like the hustle and to work hard, then in my opinion you’ll like the limitless opportunity that an eXp brokerage provides. Redfin is a lot like being a buyers agent on a team. It’s great for people looking for a consistent “managed” income. But for the amount of work you do as an agent, it soon becomes not enough long term. If you’re willing to take a bit more risk and know you have solid work ethic, it’s usually better just to go all-in from the start and build your business as your business day 1!

[@unknown-by9kf]

How are you today???

[@Kevintendo]

Emily give us an update!

[@JF-eg7cb]

I personally think Exp is best for seasoned or experienced agents. KW is usually the better choice for new, beginning agents.

[@KyleHandy]

I agree with you for the most part. However I do believe new agents can thrive at eXp and take advantage of all the training, resources, and mentorship program eXp offers, however you need to be self-motivated.

[@6timechampion]

I agree, I personally chose exp after watching this specific video. I went on an interview the week before w/ KW after doing extensive homework on who to choose. I was going to go KW but watched this and haven’t looked back. That was April 2022, I have my 1st closing next week and 4 deals working.

[@christinerona5765]

Totally disagree. KW is like a factory that gives no help to new agents at all. I dropped them after 6 months because the NYC tech guy Alex, never called me back to help with any system problems. Also, gen Z at front desk are so busy talking among themselves, they don't want anything to do with agents walking in and needing help. So disappointed with this company. Run Far Away!

[@DraGnFly007]

@@christinerona5765 I am a new agent and JUST LEFT KW yesterday! They dropped the ball right out of the gate by their consistent lack of communication!!! I had SUCH HOPE joining KW. I'm glad I have had the the good sense to walk away. I hope all brokerages are not like this! I'm currently looking for another brokerage. I don't think ExP is for me at this time as I need a real body.

[@BuddyQuaid]

​@@christinerona5765That's not indicative of KW as a company but any means. Each office is a franchise and not owned by KW. All you have to do is contact the owner of the franchise and let them know and they will do something about that but I understand from your pov that that is what you experienced. Too bad. It's a great company overall and had the best training in the world. They do have TONS of training so maybe you didn't pay attention in orientation and chose to ignore it.

But great video and I appreciate all your free advice you give.

Keanu is correct. 80/20 to eXp and 20 to mentor program for first three deals. Out of that 20% to the mentor program, 10% goes to the mentor. But as far as you the agent you receive 60/40 for those first three deals.

I heard a horror story about a new agent joining a KW team near Seattle. The team required her to provide three leads from her sphere per month. She provided three friends who were ready to buy and did buy right away. These clients were assigned to experienced agents on the team. The new agent got three pitiful referral fees. Then she went home to India for a month to see family. When she returned, she learned she was on probation for not having provided another three leads.

So you can go in exp solo and not on team? If so why would you choose to go in solo rather than joining a team?

Yes. You can join solo or on a team. A team typically charges an additional split in exchange for additional value (leads, office, etc). Solo you only pay the eXp split of 80/20.

I have been in real estate for 20 years and I have never experienced such a bad taste for another brokerage. The exp agents I have dealt within 3 of the markets I cover seem very detached from the business, inexperienced and rude. Furthermore, ever since they got a hold of my information from a mutual transaction; they have been calling non stop trying to recruit members of my team or me to switch over. There have been days that I get up to 7 calls from different exp agents trying to book a recruiting call. Truly annoying. Why not just sell real estate, there is enough business to go around.

[@karenrre]

Ivan, I am so sorry that happened to you. That is not who we are. That's over-zealous to be sure. Please accept my apologies.

Sorry you’ve have that experience with eXp. There are definitely bad apples at all brokerages. I could say the same thing about recruiting calls/messages from dozens of brokerages trying to recruit me. I just say next and move on. But I will also say there are a lot of great individuals within this company and others. Just gotta choose wisely who you let into your life.

[@KyleHandy]

Love hearing that Brandy! AJ’s a good friend of mine. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it here at eXp!

[@KyleHandy]

Most “team” teams don’t allow part-time agents. However, at eXp you can join someone’s “revenue share” team and get support, training, and collaboration for free. The difference between a “team” team and a revenue share team is the investment the team leader makes in you specifically. Typically on a “team” team you’ll get leads, maybe a physical office, shadowing. They invest in you financially and time. You’ll owe an extra split to the team leader. Typically they don’t take part-time agents because it’s harder to see a return on their investment. Let me know if that helps.

[@jzam210]

I know someone who works for eXp in my town but we are not actually friends so I can’t ask her what it’s like. Does eXp have more freedom? How about contracts? Is there a transaction coordinator? What if we can’t or do not recruit anyone in eXp? No matter how much I read or watch videos it still seems scary. How do you join a broker? Apply or just tell a broker you’re interested? I did things a bit unorthodox. I never worked for a broker. I took my test and passed without one. Also I have looked into places like Pulte or M/I which are new home sales. 😓.

[@KyleHandy]

eXp Realty typically does not cover the cost of obtaining your real estate license. In most cases, individuals interested in becoming real estate agents are responsible for the expenses associated with pre-licensing courses, exams, and licensing fees. However, it's essential to check with the specific eXp Realty office or team you are interested in joining, as policies may vary from one location to another. Some offices or teams may offer reimbursement or assistance with these costs as part of their recruitment packages. Make sure to clarify these details when considering eXp Realty as your brokerage.

The policy regarding company-owned cell phone numbers and whether you can keep them if you leave Keller Williams (KW) can vary depending on the specific arrangement between the agent and the brokerage. To get a clear answer, it's advisable to review your specific contract or agreement with Keller Williams, and if necessary, consult with the brokerage's HR or administrative department. Additionally, you can discuss this with your cell phone service provider to understand the options available for number portability.

Hi Kyle, I've completed all 6 courses and am studying to take my licensing exam in just a couple of weeks so am now deciding which brokerage to start with. This video was very helpful, thank you. You are definitely on my short list if I decide to start out with EXP. I live here in San Antonio also. I do have so many questions about how the teams work and will I get the undivided attention when I need it most? I am very detailed, have high standards for myself and those I work with, and want to grow my business quickly. Would you as my team leader (and someone who is probably super busy) be too busy to contact when needed? I know we are assigned a mentor but don't really have control over who we are assigned to. So many questions, haha!

[@TikiBirdTracy]

No answer back....that is a concern. All is good I'm sure you're busy. I think I will start my career with KW and get the intensive training and successful team around me - in person. Maybe later I will switch to EXP but I am extremely worried about not enough mentorship and accountability in the beginning, when I need it most. Just passed my exam yesterday!! Excited to get started and hit the ground running.

[@lindtothesayyy]

Exp sounds interesting, but all this sort of sounds like MLM in a way with recruiting and levels in their organizations, being rewarded for adding people.

[@KyleHandy]

Hey Lindsay! I did an in-depth video discussing whether eXp is an MLM or Pyramid scheme. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4jXn6GujaqggMk

[@lindtothesayyy]

@@KyleHandy hey Kyle! I’ve been a part of MLM’s and know they aren’t pyramid schemes. Pyramid schemes are illegal, but MLM’s can be lucrative for all involved and the products very good. However when it comes to real estate I wouldn’t want it to be so much about recruiting, I’d want it to be about helping clients. Because recruiting for additional income is a huge part of MLM’s (how you make that money while you sleep), it sounds like exp does a similar thing and that makes me uninterested.

There are some aspects to this that is not correct. KW E&O doesn’t come out of every transaction and I would like to see the numbers of the “same” transactions with EXP vs KW

Hey Branden, because KW is a franchise based model they are independently owned so their joining fees and monthly fees can vary. You would need to contact the KW market center you are considering joining.

[@WFQRENY]

Great video Kyle! I appreciate the detailed breakdown of the two brokerages. I recently passed my state exam in NYC and have been stuck on choosing between the two but seeing how accessible EXP is in a remote setting is what’s appealing to me. So is the $85 monthly fee the only out of pocket fee when joining EXP? Also do you happen to have a video or information on how to setup a real estate business entity and what can be written off during taxes? Thanks again Kyle!

[@phillipsplanet]

KW does the BOLD class like once a year. They really push you to take it and some of the agents had taken it a dozen times exclaiming "Im 12 Times Bold!" It was like $700 to take and just felt like a cash grab. They claim that it pays for itself because you'll get deals while taking it. One thing they tell you right off is call 100 people you know and discuss real estate with them. I can do that and keep my $700. I'm already bombarded with people soliciting me for services to the point that my email is crowded and I can't even answer my phone. I just felt like it was another thing trying to take money away from me.

[@amla3333]

Do you have to join a team with eXp?

[@KyleHandy]

No, you do not have to join a team when you become an eXp Realty agent. eXp Realty offers both individual agent and team options, allowing you to choose the structure that best fits your preferences and business goals. You can work as an independent agent, build your own team, or join an existing team within eXp Realty. The flexibility to make this choice is one of the advantages of eXp Realty, and it allows you to tailor your real estate career to your specific needs and aspirations. Whether you prefer the independence of working solo or the collaboration and support of a team, eXp Realty offers options to accommodate your choice. Feel free to explore the different options and decide what aligns with your vision and objectives in real estate.

[@Dbzman-69]

I am looking into brokers since I will be getting my license soon, exp sounds very interesting but at the same time kind of looks like a pyramid scheme, i see a lot of exp agents on youtube trying really hard to recruit agents instead of actually selling property, i could be wrong but just at first glance thats what i notice..

[@EndTimesRadioTV]

Agents who recruit don’t get paid if the agents who get recruited don’t produce. This incentivizes the recruiter to help the recruited agent do as well as possible making the entire company more successful. No pyramid scheme here. The recruiter gets paid off of the 20 percent that goes to exp not the 80 percent that goes to the agent.

[@KyleHandy]

Hey John, I understand how you feel about eXp seeming like a pyramid scheme. I felt the same way when I first heard about it. However, after being with eXp and seeing the companies and most agents values (of course, there are always a few bad apples with every company) I realized there is so much to this company. Today I'm proud of the company I work for and have found a new excitement for my real estate business.

[@jeremymcneill8882]

Do you think eXp will keep growing at this fast rate?

[@KyleHandy]

Hey Jeremy! I actually think we'll start to grow faster. We just opened 5 new countries and are gaining traction and recognition globally. That'll increase agent count and further establish our brand which will in turn grow US faster, in my opinion. Also, if we see a turn in the housing market (which is inevitable) many small independent brokerages will start to have to look closer at eXp to stay in business and allow them to build what they are trying to build as an independent but under a major brand. Just my 2 cents.
