Why I moved to eXp.
35+ years in this business and having owned a real estate company, I still get asked why I moved to eXp. Simple answer: I keep more of what I earn. Negotiable split to a $16k cap, then 100%. No desk fees, no franchise fees. If you’re an agent wondering what the move is actually like — not the pitch, the reality — my door’s open. Coffee’s on me.
