Big Announcements from eXpcon 2024 | Game-Changing Updates for Real Estate Agents

eXp Con 2024 was about more than just announcements – it was an opportunity for agents to connect, recharge, and prepare for the upcoming year.

The event offered inspiring speakers, breakout sessions, and a community of motivated real estate professionals, all focused on keeping momentum high, even during slower market periods.

As eXp Realty grows, they’ve kept their mission clear: putting agents first. This year’s announcements are proof that eXp Realty is committed to helping agents succeed with the best tools, training, and resources available.

1. Free Access to Canva Pro for All Agents

One of the first announcements made was that eXp agents worldwide will soon have free access to Canva Pro. Starting December 6, agents no longer need to pay for Canva’s premium features. This integration makes it easier for agents to create high-quality marketing materials with access to stock photos, transparent backgrounds, and more.

This is a huge advantage for agents who want to improve their branding and marketing efforts. By integrating Canva into eXp’s toolkit, agents gain a powerful resource that can simplify the design process and allow for quick, professional results.

2. Fast Cap Program for New and Stuck Agents

eXp has officially launched the Fast Cap Program, an intensive 6-week program with 19 live sessions designed to help agents establish the habits needed for long-term success. This program is ideal for both new agents and those feeling stuck in their business, offering structured guidance to develop essential skills.

The Fast Cap Program includes sessions on:

• Owning your business
• Prospecting and lead generation
• Branding and marketing
• Winning buyers and sellers through effective presentations

Participants commit 3-4 hours per day, making it an intense but rewarding program that yields quick results. In the pilot program, participants averaged 5.4 buyer and listing appointments and 1.9 agreements per person, showing that this program delivers immediate, actionable success. Plus, mentors and team leaders can access participants’ progress to help keep them accountable, making it a supportive experience for all.

3. Partnership with Sisu for Real-Time Business Analytics

eXp Realty has partnered with Sisu, a platform that provides real-time analytics and transaction management. Sisu integrates with your CRM, giving agents access to real-time data about their business performance, such as conversion rates, close rates, and transaction progress.

For agents and teams, this is invaluable. With Sisu, you can view your business metrics in one place, set goals, and track performance. There’s even a mobile app for on-the-go access. While the free version provides analytics, an upgraded version offers enhanced transaction management tools that can replace a transaction coordinator. This upgrade includes client portals, form management, and activity tracking.

With Sisu, eXp agents can finally answer questions like, “How many conversations did I have this week?” or “What’s my average close rate?” with precise data. The insights are a game-changer, especially for coaches, mentors, and team leaders who need to track their team’s performance.

4. LuxVT Acquisition – A Game-Changer for Luxury Agents

In a big win for luxury agents, eXp announced its acquisition of LuxVT, a real estate marketing platform specializing in high-end listings.

LuxVT’s resources are now available to eXp’s luxury agents, providing sophisticated tools to attract affluent buyers and sellers.

For years, agents expressed concerns about eXp’s lack of a dedicated luxury division. With the addition of LuxVT, eXp now offers specialized marketing tools that cater to the unique needs of luxury real estate, allowing agents to present their listings in a way that appeals to high-net-worth clients.

This is a significant step forward in establishing eXp as a premier brokerage for luxury agents.

5. Global Expansion into Egypt, Turkey, and Peru

eXp is set to expand into Egypt, Turkey, and Peru in 2025, continuing its impressive global growth. As the world’s leading independent brokerage, eXp now offers agents access to a vast international network, breaking down geographic barriers.

Global expansion isn’t just a statistic; it’s a tool for agents. If you have clients relocating internationally, you can now refer business or even sponsor agents in any country where eXp operates, allowing you to maintain a global presence in the real estate market.

This makes it easier for agents to serve clients with international needs, making you more competitive in a globalized market.

To facilitate this expansion, eXp is also introducing a Discord server where agents can share feedback on which countries to expand into next and discuss international business opportunities. This interactive platform lets agents have a voice in eXp’s growth while fostering a global community.

eXp Realty has positioned itself as the Amazon of real estate, setting the standard for cloud-based brokerage models.

What’s especially notable is that eXp remains financially sound, operating in the black while maintaining a strong focus on agent support. This contrasts with other brokerages that struggle to adapt to market changes or remain profitable.

With eXp, agents enjoy the unique benefits of a cloud-based model, including access to top-tier technology, unparalleled resources, and a supportive global community.

It’s not surprising that other brokerages are trying to replicate eXp’s model, but few can match the level of innovation, support, and profitability eXp has achieved.
