Self-employed brand to help top agents build their own team

Self-employed agency brand eXp UK has launched a ‘Teams’ initiative designed to help its top performing agents expand their business.

It is already proving popular amongst existing agents, with nine chosen based on the number of sales in the past 12 months.

The agents who’ve taken advantage of creating a ‘Team’, include, Chris Abraham, Kirsty Hodgson, Jaine Whitfield, Darren Beckett, Claire Bilton, Amie Brooks, Alistair Harper, Helen Moore and Mark Buchanan

Each agent who runs a ‘Team’, continues to benefit from partnering with eXp, but is able to recruit other agents to operate under their own ‘Team’ brand.

In exchange for helping new agents in their team, the leader can receive a suggested 25% of the commission from any business generated. This allows those joining an eXp UK Team to hit the ground running, rather than having to build their own personal brand from the ground up. 

eXp UK said it believes this is the next step in the evolution of the self-employed model in the UK, allowing solo agents to grow their business beyond it being just a ‘personal brand’.

It expects to have 50 teams in place over the next few months.

Adam Day, head of eXp UK, said: “It’s something I was very aware that we would have to evolve when we first started eXp in the UK, and so I’ve been studying how ‘Teams’ works in the US over the last few years. It’s very common for ‘solo’ agents to go on and create their own ‘brands’ that continue to work with eXp in the US. We’ve simply followed the blueprint which is used stateside, but adjusted it, as we have always done, to accommodate the demands & culture of the UK market place.”
