Regarding the rapid growth, I am not sure what will happen in the future. I have been on campus a few times over the last 2 weeks and it seems like they are smoothing out daily operations. The broker's assistant recently shared with me that they have been hiring a lot of support staff to deal with the rapid growth.

Personally, I really enjoy being with EXP Realty. As a Realtor, I enjoy the 80/20 split and $16,000 cap. As an investor, I enjoy not paying any commission to EXP on 3 transactions a year. If your network of exceptional people is small/weak then you could have a rough time at EXP. Isn't that the case anywhere in life though? We have a group of 37 people in our local community and the network is great. There are endless opportunities for open houses, coaching if needed, etc. 

Like in anything and everything, it is what you make it @Graham Andrew

I hope that helps,

I agree with @Jay Hinrichs, Charleston is awesome for so many reasons. Today I would move to St. Louis. I'd buy a loft or 1 bedroom downtown and live there and invest in the many up and coming areas of the city. In five years, once well established, I'd move on. @Gabriel Farfan you could move somewhere for a few years where you can find affordable opportunities, dig yourself in with multiple purchases, and then move on once all systems are in place, if you deemed it necessary. I do wish I lived in more corners of the country and world during my younger years. Keep us posted on your decision(s), this is exciting!

@Jennifer Slaughter  Brantley Jaco is #1 in our book. He has gone above and beyond for us for years now. Give him a call if you'd like. His # is (843)730-2144. Currently we have a -(negative)5% vacancy rate and he maintains his inventory like he owns it himself. Message me if you would like more details.
