Opening & Why This Matters
• ❓ It’s an important and timely question.
• ???? Agents are evaluating whether to stay or upgrade; we’ll cover 15 must-ask questions to filter brokers.
• ???? Old habit: picking a broker by proximity. Market changed—rules changed.
• ⚠️ Consolidation is accelerating; some brokers won’t be viable in 6–12 months.
• ???? These questions aren’t one-size-fits-all; they’re a thought filter. (Also why we chose eXp; we can put our license anywhere.)
• ???? Mindset frame before the list.

Mindset Exercise (Set Your Targets)

• ???? This may be one of the toughest years in real estate.
• ???? Case study: Team at $130M thinks they’re flat; market was down 20% → they’re actually winning.
• ???? Past 12 months: write 2–3 tangible wins (listings taken, GCI, first $1M sale, etc.).
• ???? Next 12 months: write 2–3 tangible goals (e.g., 10 listings, 100 homes sold, save $100k–$1M).
• ???? Hold yourself to practical, measurable results.


The 15 Must-Ask Questions (Use as a Broker Filter)

Income trajectory
• ???? Is your income flat or declining?
• ???? Does your environment (physical or virtual) reinforce stagnation or growth?

Challenge level
• ???? Are you the best agent in the office and no longer challenged?
• ⛰️ Beware the big fish/small pond plateau → time for a broker upgrade.

Culture & tone
• ☁️ Is the environment negative—fear-based, defeatist, “market’s tough” mantra?
• ????️ If leadership has only sold in the last 15 years, they may lack skills for today’s market.

Meetings vs. money
• ⏳ Too many mandatory meetings and non-dollar-productive tasks pulling you from production?

eXp placement / CTA
• ???? Why we’re with eXp Realty; growth, profitability, agent migration.
???? Text: 512-758-0206

Innovation readiness
• ???? Does leadership shoot down non-traditional ideas?
• ???? Is the brokerage truly online/tech-forward (even “metaverse” level presence)?

Fees & take-home pay
• ???? Are you getting nickel-and-dimed (royalties, franchise fees, transaction fees, skims on ancillaries)?
• ???? Do the math: true effective split may be far worse than you think; capping matters.
• ???? Example: agent saved $430k in a year by switching.
• ???? Another paid ~$3M over 10 years to their broker—clients didn’t care about brand.

Operational support
• ???? Beyond basic compliance, do you get real support when you need answers?

iBuyer tools
• ???? Access to an iBuyer program (e.g., eXp Express Offers) so you can present retail vs. investor options.

Passive income / Revenue share
• ???? Do they offer revenue share—a path to financial freedom vs. the endless hamster wheel?
• ???? Rentals are great, but today the math can be tough; rev-share can be a faster passive path.

REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris’s favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, alltheleads.com/harris

Ownership / Equity
• ???? Can you purchase stock or earn stock awards (ICON)?
• ???? ICON: cap, then production threshold → $16k cap returned in stock.
• ???? Real examples: seven-figure equity outcomes; discounted share purchase; dividends.

Lead gen & relocation
• ???? Does the brokerage provide lead gen frameworks and relocation access?
• ???? eXp is rooted in lead generation.

Agent-centric reality (not slogans)
• ???? Is the company truly focused on agent success?
• ✅ Proof = equity, caps, ICON, rev-share, benefits—not just mission statements.

Legacy & inheritability
• ????‍????‍???? Is there inheritable passive income (rev-share to licensed heirs)?

International reach
• ???? Are you in an international network (24+ countries) for referrals and luxury positioning?
• ???? Luxury sellers think globally; international footprint matters.

Energy & excitement
• ???? Are you excited to be at your brokerage? Do you feel part of the next generation?
