Brokerage lowers FLQA threshold for first time in company history

BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 30, 2023 (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 announced that for the first time, it is refining revenue share criteria for its agents.

eXp Realty is reducing its current Frontline Qualifying Agent (FLQA) tier 7 threshold from 40 to 30 FLQA. Revenue share is one part of eXp Realty’s aligned compensation model, which also includes competitive commissions and stock equity programs designed to enable its agents to build for their future.

“At a time when other companies are increasing their rev share thresholds or imposing new fees, eXp Realty is the only brokerage lowering revenue share criteria for agents, fueling exponential opportunities for them to build their legacies,” said Glenn Sanford, founder and CEO of eXp Realty. “Revenue share is an important income opportunity for agents, so this change is a testament to the singular agent-centric focus we were built on. We believe in our aligned compensation model, which was created to reward agents for both production and contributions to eXp Realty's growth.”
