How does the eXp Realty split work?

You keep 80% of your gross commission, and 20% goes to eXp. This split applies until the accumulated 20% brokerage cut reaches $16,000 in your anniversary year.

What happens after I cap at eXp?

Once you hit the $16,000 cap, you keep 100% of your commissions. Instead of the 20% split, you only pay a flat $250 transaction fee per deal. This transaction fee drops to $75 once you achieve 'ICON Agent' status (by paying another $5,000 in transaction fees).

Are there other transaction fees at eXp?

Yes, there is a $25 broker review fee and a $40 E&O insurance fee per transaction (the E&O fee caps at $500 per year).
