eXp Realty reimagines agent attraction and development with a model built for stronger support, faster onboarding, and sustainable growth

BELLINGHAM, Wash., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  eXp Realty®, “the most agent-centric real estate brokerage on the planet™” and the core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), today officially launches its innovative Co-Sponsor Program, unlocking unprecedented opportunities for collaboration and growth across its global agent network.

First announced in April at eXp's global event, eXpcon Montréal, the Co-Sponsor Program redefines how agent relationships can drive production, attraction, and retention. The initiative allows new eXp agents and commercial advisors to designate not only a Primary Sponsor, but also a Co-Sponsor – an additional leader who brings complementary skills to help accelerate their success.

“This is about honoring how real influence and support work in our industry,” said Leo Pareja, eXp Realty CEO. “Now, agents and advisors can tap into two different strengths. Perhaps one sponsor is a marketing pro, while the other excels at operations or developing a team. That kind of collaboration doesn't just inspire, it compresses time, multiplies results, and elevates our entire community. It's not just about the tools, it's about who you're in proximity to and how fast you can learn and grow alongside them.”

Highlights of the Co-Sponsor Program:

• Dual Sponsorship Support: Agents can now name both a Primary Sponsor and a Co-Sponsor, providing more support from multiple leaders with diverse strengths.
• Incentivized Collaboration: Co-Sponsors receive Level 1 revenue share and a 50% Fast Start Bonus, rewarding those who play a meaningful role in supporting new agent success.
• No Change to Core Structure: Primary Sponsors retain full access to Level 2–7 revenue share, equity opportunities, and existing benefits.
• Stronger Onboarding & Retention: The program enhances agent onboarding by increasing touchpoints, expertise, and support.
• Built for Scale: By broadening the circle of support, the Co-Sponsor Program fuels sustainable growth across organizations and geographies.
• Full Support Toolkit Available: Agents can immediately access a Co-Sponsor Toolkit with training, templates, and resources at exptoolkit.com/co-sponsor.

By formalizing shared leadership and aligning incentives, the Co-Sponsor Program reinforces eXp's commitment to innovation, community, and agent-first growth.

“This is innovation rooted in how agents actually work,” said Pareja. “It's about listening, responding with purpose, and creating more ways for our agents and advisors to thrive.”
