Most companies become dinosaurs not long after their launch as a company while other more nimble players exploit weaknesses in information flow, newer less expensive technology or talent and generally speaking simply out hustle the competition. Information on best practices no longer comes from the top of the organization. Often those best practices come from the middle or from new players who have recently joined. Sharing and making available that information in a real time and meaningful way is one of the more challenging exercises especially for legacy organizations.

418 Page Wiki and Growing

The Wiki, also called eXp University, is a collaboration of information, links, videos and tutorials on hundreds of relevant topics. Studies have found increased productivity of up to 25% when information is openly shared rather then passing the information up the corporate ladder in hopes that some of the information will travel back down to those that could benefit from it.

Every eXp Agent has access to the Wiki 24/7 to find sales and new agent training, listing presentation ABC’s, the latest in social media, lead generation strategies and much more. Agents are encouraged to collaborate and create new pages so the Wiki is always growing and being refined.

Training and Education Schedule

The online hallways of eXp can be busy with Agents dropping into various scheduled training sessions, listening in on state and national team meetings, collaborating with other Agents locally and nationally, touring potential recruits or dropping into the Working The Magic or Handling Today’s Consumer offices for tech or marketing assistance.

From the bi-weekly New Agent Orientation to the popular Monday Morning XCamp the eXp Training Calendar has it all. The Calendar can always be found at http://exprealty.com/calendar/

XCamp

Every Monday morning starting at 9:00am PST / 12pm EST is XCamp. We model our weekly BarCamp on the same ideas that BarCamps are normally organized in that they are unmeetings or unconferences in that there is no preset agenda. Anyone can present and anyone can attend any session. There are generally multiple sessions going on at once and all of the sessions are recorded for the Video Archives.

By doing these Barcamps inside of eXp Virtual we are able to be more efficient with our time and yet still get the value that a Social Learning environment provides. If you’re not yet an Agent with eXp and would like to attend XCamp please visit the XCamp Invite page.

Video Archives and Podcast

For those with a busy schedule we offer the eXp Podcast with recorded video sessions of the New Agent Orientation ready for online viewing or immediate download to a computer or smartphone.

The Video Archives house 70+ video recorded sessions on a wide range of topics from previous XCamp classes, guest speakers, and weekly trainings. Currently the videos are organized into the categories of New Agent Orientation, Business Planning, Buyer Agent, Listing Agent, Recruiting, Social Media, Agent Sites, and IT Solutions. New videos are added every week.

  • Our History – 2002 to today.
    • eXp Realty really started back in 2002 as an idea for a new type of real estate brokerage which believes that the internet along with consumer behavior would eventually build to a quantum shift in the way that agents, companies and real estate firms interact. Because of the Collaborative / Immersive Nature of the Web we believe that a Company should include its most important assets into the building out of a new style of company and that is our Clients. The first goal of a real estate company should be to be a strong marketing vehicle for our Seller’s. Google currently drives over 50% of real estate web traffic to real estate websites. Our sites rank high for numerous key phrases in most markets we compete in.
