Actually Jonathan, my goal is to offer agents the ability to be an agent-owner of their brokerage by receiving stock awards, and the opportunity for monthly passive income streams that sure help you to 'get buy' in a down market when commissions aren't coming in.  I'm getting paid as a Broker but without the responsibility or liability of being a Broker... yes, really.  Every time one of my agents has a sale, I get paid, regardless of where they're located.  And I still sell real estate and focus on serving my clients just like you do.  I'm also focused on helping agents.

After 15 years with a traditional brokerage, I now feel foolish for the low commission splits that I  received due to the need for the brokerage pay for all that bricks and mortar- who goes to an office to buy real estate?  All brokerages recruit.  Most brokerages also don't support their agents like a good 'motivated' eXp sponsor with a vested interest in their agent's success.  Most agents can never retire.  You can with eXp.  When I left my last brokerage, I got nothing.  If I were to ever leave eXp, I'd cash out with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock.  But I won't leave eXp because my monthly income (revenue share) can be bequethed to my heirs once I pass... into perpetuity.   And eXp offers health care... and you can do business in any market throughout the US and in 27 countries while collaborating with and gaining support from over 90,000 agents Worldwide...  shall I go on?  So yes, we are focused on recruiting agents and showing opportunities that are unheard of at other brokerages.  They are the real pyramids with the CEO's at the top.  Agents are at the top with eXp.  -Sorry for the soapbox buy you should really look into it... not only for yourself but for your family. ..and for other agents who need your help.  Happy 4th!

Congrats on passing your real estate exam @Andrew L.!  Unfortunately as a part-time agent, you also likely won’t get that support you need from a traditional brokerage if you’re not in the office on a regular basis. Will you be able to attend live training that is offered?  Will you be able to tour properties or attend regular broker meetings that are usually held from 9-5?  As a new agent you will find that many brokerages require you to be full time- How will you be able to meet and fully service clients if you’re not available for them?  It’s important to have a supportive network of agents whom you can work with as a team, either formally, or unstructured.  I have sponsored dozens of Realtors with exp Realty, many who are part-time agents. I support my agents by providing leads and helping them to grow their business, regardless of which market they’re in.  exp has all the training, tech, and tools you need to be successful- many new agents are frankly just overwhelmed with that and don’t know where to begin…. I would suggest that you start by completing your profile on this platform so that people know who you are and where you’re from…. It’s time to put yourself out there and start attracting clients. I’d love to have you join my Facebook group to learn more.  Happy to talk.

I just saw this FB posting @Thurben James!  May be worth considering!

@Jason Lopez who's going to manage it? Are you going to pay a company or do it yourself? And STR is much more involved with high turnover rates so you'll not only need to post the listing but know how to keep it competitive so that you maximize bookings, of course, furnishing it, keeping supplies, restocked, cleaning, maintenance, And what about consideration to any local STR rules and regulations? How reliant are you going to be on the cashflow? if you need something steady every month, go long-term. STRs also involve more risk in regards to property damage, increased wear and tear, etc. If you hire a professional management company, then that of course will also eat into your profits. Talk to more local homeowners, property managers & Realtors on this one. Good luck!

Where are you looking and what’s your price point @Joseph Harr?  There’s plenty of cash-flowing deals out there!

Do you live there or would you be an out of town investor @Thurben James?  There’s certainly plenty of affordable opportunities to get in the market. The question would be the sustainability of the overall economy and job market. With rising interest rates and the widening wealth gap, first-time homebuyers are by locked out of the housing market, it seems long-term rental demand is solid but of course it would be important to get quality tenants in the better parts of town. I would not anticipate much turnover so could be good cash flow over the long run, the question is the long-term appreciation… depends on your strategy and weather you’d be managing themselves or relying on unknown local property manager, contractors, etc. Which always poses risk.  

I've been with eXp for 6 years after 15 years with a traditional brokerage-  I've sponsored dozens of agents across 10 different states whom I support in growing their business.  I'm licensed in Virginia, as well as DC, MD & NV and would be happy to have a conversation to see if you might be the right fit.  As an investor myself, eXp works for me! @Latoya Pryor

I’m happy to help @Dawn W.!  Just celebrated six years with eXp, licensed in 4 states, have sponsored 35 agents across 10 states and I am also an investor. It’s an amazing Brokerage for seasoned investors and agents that don’t need a lot of handholding!  - All the best.
