Co-Sponsor and Level Up Your Real Estate Career

Co-Sponsor and Level Up Your Real Estate Career

April 25, 20254 min read

What if I told you that real estate agents no longer have to choose between support and opportunity?

Sounds bold, right? But that’s exactly what eXp Realty’s new co-sponsorship program is offering—and trust me, it’s a total game-changer.


Two Brains Are Better Than One

Let me back up and share why I’m so fired up about this.

I’m based in North Carolina, and not too long ago, I wanted to sponsor an agent in Portugal. Now, I don’t know the Portuguese market like the back of my hand, but I still knew I had a lot to offer—decades of experience, deep understanding of our tech tools, and a passion for helping agents grow.

But here's where it gets exciting: eXp's co-sponsorship program allowed me to partner with a local agent in Portugal. So instead of choosing between one sponsor or another, that new agent got both—me with the systems, training, and tech expertise, and a boots-on-the-ground mentor who knows the nuances of doing business in Portugal.

Win. Win. Win.

And guess what? That was before this was even allowed in the U.S.


Now It’s Official — And It’s Big

As of May 1st, this co-sponsorship model is officially available in the United States and Canada. So now, imagine this: you’re in North Carolina like me, and you want to sponsor someone in Michigan. You know someone amazing up there who’s looking for support, but you also want to make sure they have help locally.

With co-sponsorship, you don’t have to stretch yourself thin or tell them to choose between you and someone nearby. You team up with a Michigan-based eXp powerhouse—someone who can be that local guide while you bring the training, systems, masterminds, and mindset coaching.

It’s a collaborative model on steroids.

So, How Does Co-Sponsorship Actually Work?

Here’s the breakdown:

  • One agent becomes the official sponsor—usually the one who introduced the opportunity.

  • The second agent becomes the co-sponsor—someone with boots on the ground or specialized expertise.

  • Both the sponsor and co-sponsor earn revenue share.

  • The new agent gets the best of both worlds: the person who believed in them and the expert who can mentor them day-to-day.

Let me tell you—this solves so many problems agents used to face when joining eXp. No more feeling isolated. No more compromises. Just empowered agents building stronger businesses.

Real Talk: Why This Matters

Most agents come to eXp for the incredible tools, global reach, and unmatched compensation model (hello, stock awards and revenue share!). And that’s enough for many.

But here’s the thing—I didn’t have a backup plan when I started over in this industry at 55. eXp’s model became my endgame. I didn’t want to be putting signs in yards until I was 80. I wanted something scalable, sustainable—and something I could share to empower others.

This co-sponsorship model? It takes that empowerment to a whole new level.

You get:

  • Two mentors, not one.

  • A richer network and more personalized support.

  • And a team that’s literally built around your success, not just theirs.

Don’t Just Take My Word for It

One extremely successful agent walked away after making a million in Revenue Share from her firm to join eXp why? Because she saw a bigger opportunity. eXp Realty truly is #WhereTheProsGoToGrow. This co-sponsorship just took it to another level. 

And here’s a stat for you: 8.2 agents return to eXp every single day. Why? Because the grass wasn’t greener on the other side—and now they’ve got a support model that actually works.

If You're Curious, Let's Talk

I’m not here to twist arms or poach anyone. I’m here for the agents who are looking for me—the ones who are hungry, coachable, and ready to build something extraordinary.

If that’s you, let’s talk. Let’s figure out what support you actually need, and if this model fits your business goals.

This could be the partnership that changes everything for you.
