Who Is A Mentee And What Are The Requirements?


The Mentor Program provides newly licensed agents a learning platform where you will gain the fundamental knowledge required to start and build a successful real estate career. Each mentee is paired with a certified eXp Realty mentor who is a member of the same MLS.

Any new licensee that joins eXp Realty that has not completed a minimum of three real estate transactions (residential or land/lot sale) in the previous twelve (12) months prior to joining are required to participate in eXp’s Mentor Program. Each new agent is paired with an experienced agent who is a state broker approved Certified Mentor shortly after the new agent’s license is transferred to eXp Realty. You can not opt out of the Mentor Program. It is up to the State Broker Team to determine if a mentee qualifies to be waived. Contact your State Broker Team for more information.
