Under a mentor’s guidance, you will receive practical advice and guidance through every step of your first few deals and transactions. In addition, you will learn all the basics of real estate in a ten-module course on eXp’s learning management system.

Self-organized Teams 

You may be exempt from the mentor program if you’re in a self-organized team and your team leader is a certified mentor. The team leader can request your withdrawal.

Standard and ICON Teams

Most eXp realty agents are exempt from the Mentor Program in a Standard or Mega ICON team. Contact the Onboarding Team to finish the necessary team documents if eXp added you to the Mentor Program. 

You will get removed from the Mentor Program as soon as the team documents are in eXp Enterprise. 

However, in Maine, North Carolina, and New York, you cannot be excused from the mentor program unless the team leaders are certified. 

Domestic Teams

If a primary agent for a domestic team has less than three home transactions in the past 12 months, they must complete the Mentor Program within their first year. Since the Mentor Program does not apply to secondary agents, they can request a withdrawal if the company adds them accidentally.
