eXp Realty Commission Split
eXp Realty’s split: 80% until the $16,000 cap, then 100%
eXp Realty’s US agent plan works like this: you keep 80% of each commission until you reach a $16,000 annual cap based on your own anniversary year, according to eXp Realty. After that, you keep the full commission for the rest of that year, still subject to standard transaction fees.
