How we read this statement

eXp Realty is a real estate brokerage. Its figures include commissions from property sales, revenue share and stock awards, so they are not directly comparable with product-based direct selling statements.

Figures are annual gross compensation for 2025, before business expenses. Agents are "any agent that was licensed with eXp within the year of 2025", including agents who were paid in 2025 and then left.

Median: $4,985 is eXp's own median for all registered agents. eXp also gives $13,463 for active agents and $22,175 for active agents with at least one year of tenure.

Participants: 85,377 is the sum of the five tiers in eXp's table.

eXp publishes no share that earned nothing. Its lowest tier ("Entering", $0 to $100) holds 38.73% of all agents, with a median of $0.

Some percentages in the document's text differ from its table. For example, the text heads the Core tier "33.36% of participants", while the table gives 20.90% of all agents and 33.36% of active agents with one year of tenure. We use the table. The per-transaction fee reads "$25 / $60" in the rendered document and "$25 / $40" in its text layer.

Method: a median is recorded only when the company publishes one for all participants, and “earning nothing” uses the statement's own definition. Nothing is estimated; empty fields mean the statement does not publish that figure. Details on the methodology page.
