Congratulations on taking the first step towards real estate greatness! We are excited you are here to join us in becoming an incredibly successful agent! This portal will allow you to learn a variety of different items that will help you become a powerful addition to the eXp family.

Here are the highlights. More information will be found on the onboarding link. Please bookmark this page and review this document first. This is VITAL for your transition to eXp. This will guide you through all of the steps that you will need to accomplish.

IMPORTANT: You can always get to every link that you will need in your time at eXp by going to the eXpEnterprise. https://www.expenterprise.com/

STEP 1: Apply with eXp Realty LLC https://kathleenspaniak.exprealty.careers/ and License Transfer with IDFPR

eXp has one brokerage for the whole state. However, we have many branch offices. You will need to choose an address to use for where your license is held.
If you are affiliating with the Northbrook office and the Spaniak Team, you will choose the address 1363 Shermer #200, Northbrook.
If you are affiliating with another office, you have the choice of the office at 10 N. Martingale, Schaumburg or 939 W. North Avenue, Chicago. Both are free.
STEP 2: Download & get to know eXp World

eXpWorld is our technology platform. This is where we go for classes. When you hear someone say 'go to the world' this is what that means.
We have State Team Meetings on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 9:00 am in the Illinois Auditorium in the eXpWorld.

STEP 3: Join or Update your REALTOR Association/Board Membership

Kati is the president-elect for the North Shore Barrington Association of Realtors. Unless you are in downtown Chicago, you should join NSBAR.
If you are in Chicago, you can join CAR. Discuss this with Kati first.
It is mandatory you join an association. This is how you will gain access to the MLS.
You need to send your confirmation to il.onboarding@exprealty.net within 48 hours of hanging your license.

STEP 4: Download Workplace

Workplace is sort of like Facebook. It is a Facebook product. However, we use this only for eXp agents. It's how we communicate with each other. You can messenger any other agent in the whole company just like you would on Facebook.
We use Workplace to connect and share important information about policies and procedures, training videos, and other communications.
You can set your email notifications to be whatever you would like. You will get A LOT of email notifications, and so we suggest that you change your notifications right away and then once you get to understand Workplace, make the notifications work for you.
You should request to join the Illinois State Group. These are the most important notifications you will receive.
You should request to join the Illinois Agent Resource. This will have links to important resources.
