If you're new to the eXp world or want to know more about the top tech tools the cloud-based brokerage provides, we've got you covered. Keep reading to learn about the eXp world and the tech tools eXp agents leverage to achieve their business bottom lines.

What Is eXp Realty About?

Born in 2009 by a real estate team leader who suffered severely from the 2008 housing crisis and sought a less risky marketplace, eXp Realty has become the world's fastest-growing real estate brokerage. Its unique cloud based technology continues driving tech innovation and workplace flexibility - far away from the everyday eXperiences of traditional real estate practice.

But the eXp world isn't only notable for its virtual office space. It's also the only brokerage where agents can earn eXp World Holdings stock as a reward for their productivity and contribution to the organization's growth. Each agent becomes a shareholder after selling their first home, besides sharing company revenue and the advantages of several helpful tech tools.

Additionally, the brokerage's virtual campus provides round-the-clock access to collaborative tools, social networking, and the company's educational training events. These tools help members improve communication and become more efficient while assisting customers to buy or sell seamlessly and confidently.

How Sustainable Is a Virtual Brokerage?

While one of the top-selling points of the eXp world is its low carbon footprint ('going green' is the new word for 'sustainable' today), many outsiders are concerned about other aspects of the business model's sustainability. For instance, the company gives back half of its revenue to agents, with the other half going towards profit and overhead.

Professionals and speculators in the real estate industry are worried that eXp World Holdings and its parent company gives so immensely back to its agents and fears that it can continue doing this over the long haul. However, considering eXp's reach, structure, and minimal debt profile, it's safe to say that eXp's brokerage operations are highly sustainable.

First, eXp World Holdings and eXp Realty have a global reach, which makes them less dependent on the US housing market. The more the organization eXpands its reach into more countries, the higher its chances of improving its diversity and sustainability.

Moreover, eXp Realty doesn't run on physical brick-and-mortar offices, which makes its overhead significantly less than comparable real estate companies.

Here are the top tech tools eXp agents leverage to maximize their business potential.

Leads Generation and Marketing with kvCORE

All eXp agents have access to kvCORE, a massive lead generation platform in the company. Formerly called Kunversion, kvCORE is an all-in-one lead generation solution with a robust back-end CRM database and lead generation website. These tools help the real estate agent generate leads from various sources via digital and traditional methods.

kvCORE also has a user-friendly, highly informative, and aesthetic front-end interface, giving visitors and leads a gratifying, quality shopping eXperience. Users can create an account that lets them save searches and properties, while agents can access leads' search history and virtual library to know what properties interest their potential clients.

The platform's extensive CRM data management spreadsheet allows agents to manage many leads without reducing the quality or frequency of communication. Other features of kvCORE's CRM include:

• The ability to set up squeeze and landing pages to aid lead generation
• Smart email drip campaigns
• texting directly out of the system

Fortunately, even the least technically-inclined agents can efficiently operate kvCORE's features.

Skyslope: Paperless Transaction Technology

Skyslope is eXp's cloud based transaction management platform. It helps realtors sign forms, organize deals, and upload documents to the company's transactions and broker team. With Skyslope, realtors can rest assured that their file is complete and that the company's transaction coordinators and your state broker have cross-checked it.

Whenever you need to create a new file in a real estate deal, input the transaction details, and Skyslope will provide a checklist of the required documents for that deal in your market. Initially, the platform displays red against all needed documents for review. But as each paper gets reviewed, the red signal turns into yellow, and ultimately when the transaction coordinators have reviewed and approved the completed paperwork.

These indicators help you track what documents you might stun to provide or revisit for a complete file. After approving your entire file, the brokerage's transaction coordinators will issue a "Disbursement authorization" presentable to the title company. This authorization ensures you get paid at closing and receive a separate check from the company.

eXp World: Virtual Real Estate Educational Campus

eXp World is a virtual reality campus that exists to train agents, brokers, and eXp staff online. After downloading the software to their computer, the eXp agent creates avatars (their virtual persons) to tour eXp's virtual campus and eXplore its training facilities and sessions. Like other cutting edge customized tools on the eXp Realty cloud, eXp World is highly intuitive and easy to use.

While on eXp world, the agent gains access to on-demand support from their state real estate brokers, coordinators, and broker stateroom.

eXp Enterprise: the eXp Realty Launching Pad

All eXp agents have an Enterprise platform that displays current and closed deals, including cap and details of fees paid to date, eXp World Holdings stock earned, or revenue gained.

This provision helps them to track their progress in real-time, appreciate their successes at eXp World Holdings and elsewhere, and navigate their path to more wins in the virtual brokerage.

Workplace by Facebook

Additionally, Workplace has educational groups users can eXplore, like real estate training 101, referral networks, kvCORE discussion, and state groups.

It also has a messenger feature that lets users message anyone they need to, including company staff, their state broker, and fellow real estate professionals or agents.

Making It Rain: Digital Marketing on eXp World

Making It Rain is an optional lead-generation program that uses marketing campaigns to drive traffic to agents' kvCORE pages. It's a trading platform for online lead-generation services and numerous valuable resources.

While eXp agents can generate leads via kvCORE, more is needed to run a thriving real estate business. Real Estate agents (often know they) need additional marketing strategies (digital and traditional) to maintain a reliable inflow of quality leads. With Making It Rain, eXp agents have an automated digital marketing program that saves agents from wasting valuable energy learning more complex advertising channels such as social media ads, Google ads, etc.

Via its 'Quick Start' onboarding system, agents can readily customize their marketing programs and get them up and moving in 15 minutes, leaving ample time to focus on buying or selling homes. This tool is exclusive to eXp agents.
