Phoenix’s Jason Witte took a peek at his eXp stock the other day and was shocked at seeing the amount vested since he joined eXp Realty in September 2019.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Witte said. “I was totally blown away.”
Witte invests in eXp’s agent equity program in which eXp agents can earmark 5% of their commission and purchase eXp stock (Nasdaq: EXPI) at a 10% discount.
Not only does eXp’s stock hold great appeal for Witte, but eXp’s generous commission structure and revenue share program make him glad he followed Phoenix-area eXp agent Curtis Johnson and other big hitters to eXp.
Before eXp, Witte owned his own brokerage for a while and closed it after he got tired from “dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s” as he calls it. The risks, wearing too many hats and liability, wore him down. But what broke him was the year he was audited. While he passed the audit, it was the final straw. He soon moved to the Realty ONE group where he could build a team and free himself from the headaches of owning an indie.

But Witte’s real satisfaction is managing his 37-agent eXp team and reaping the benefits of eXp’s business model.
