The Co-Sponsorship Program allows a new agent to receive support from two leaders: a Primary Sponsor (who gets the FLQA credit, stock awards, and Level 2â7 revenue share) and a Co-Sponsor (who receives Level 1 revenue share and a 50% Fast Start Bonus for the agentâs first year).Â
This program is designed to encourage collaboration and mentorship across organizations. However, the Co-Sponsor must not be in the Primary Sponsorâs 7-level revenue share tree, and revenue share earned by the Co-Sponsor does not flow up their own upline.
The FLQA Sponsor Program allows a Sponsor to delegate the FLQA credit to another agentâtypically a team leaderâwhile keeping all other sponsor benefits intact.Â
The original Sponsor and their upline still receive 100% of the revenue share, including all 7 levels, and stock awards.Â
This is a clean and simple solution for team-based models where a leader like Cliff needs to build or maintain 30+ FLQAs to unlock full rev share potential, while the recruiter earns the financial benefits
FLQA (Frontline Qualifying Agent): A personally sponsored agent who has closed at least one transaction within the last 6 months. Sponsors must maintain a certain number of FLQAs to unlock additional levels of revenue share in their organization.
Primary Sponsor: The person named during onboarding as the one who most influenced the new agent to join eXp. The Primary Sponsor receives FLQA credit, stock awards, and revenue share from Levels 2 through 7 of the new agentâs organization.
Co-Sponsor: An additional support leader the new agent can name within 5 days of completing onboarding (if they joined after May 1, 2025). The Co-Sponsor must be outside the Primary Sponsorâs 7-level revenue share organization. Co-Sponsors receive Level 1 revenue share from the new agent and are eligible for the Fast Start Attraction Bonus.
FLQA Sponsor: Under the FLQA Sponsor Program, this is a designated agent who receives FLQA credit for a new recruitâtypically a team leader or support partnerâwhile the original Sponsor retains revenue share and stock awards. This is ideal in team structures where the FLQA is strategically valuable for unlocking deeper revenue share levels.
Fast Start Attraction Bonus (also called the Fast Start Bonus): A 50% revenue share multiplier paid to the agent who is credited with helping the new agent join eXp. In the Co-Sponsorship model, this bonus is paid to the Co-Sponsor. In the FLQA Sponsor model, it is paid to the Sponsor. It applies to revenue share earned from the new agent's production during their first 12 months and is part of eXpâs effort to reward and recognize impactful agent attraction.
â Use Co-Sponsorship When:
Co-Sponsorship is ideal when an agent is influenced to join eXp by a Primary Sponsor but also wants specialized support or mentorship from someone with a unique skill set. For example:
An agent joins eXp through their mentor but wants to learn how to build a brand on YouTube â they can name a Co-Sponsor who specializes in content creation and video strategy.
A new agent is excited to grow on Instagram and TikTok â the Co-Sponsor might be a social media expert who runs training and marketing systems around short-form video.
An investor-minded agent joins but wants to tap into the knowledge of someone who focuses heavily on real estate investing, BRRRR strategies, or syndications â they can name that investor-focused agent as their Co-Sponsor.
A new licensee wants to join a commercial real estate team or get mentorship in multifamily â they could have a residential agent as their Primary Sponsor, but name a commercial expert as their Co-Sponsor.
In all of these cases, the agent gets the best of both worlds â they stay connected to the person who helped them onboard, but they also receive ongoing mentorship from someone uniquely equipped to help them grow in their niche.
â Use FLQA Sponsor When:
The FLQA Sponsor program is perfect for team-based environments where the recruiting agent wants to retain revenue share and stock awards, but prefers or needs another agent to take on the responsibility of supporting and activating the new recruit.
For example:
A recruiter signs a new agent but doesnât have the bandwidth to provide hands-on mentorship. They designate a local team leader or coach as the FLQA Sponsor to ensure the agent is fully supported and activated.
An agent recruits a friend but knows that person would benefit more from being embedded in a specific team or market-based group. The recruiter retains financial benefits, and the team leader gets FLQA credit for working closely with the new agent.
A builder, coach, or connector helps bring in a high-volume new agent but doesnât plan to be actively involved in their production or development. An FLQA Sponsor is assigned to handle support and maintain the necessary production-based FLQA metrics.
This setup provides a clean, flexible way to build with purpose: recruiters can scale attraction without sacrificing FLQA volume, while trusted partners ensure the new agent receives guidance and community.
