In this episode of the HyperFast Agent Show, Dan Lesniak delves into the question of whether being part of a ground floor opportunity truly offers better prospects for real estate agents. Using eXp Realty as a case study, he argues that while the appeal of joining a new venture is tempting, the advantages of aligning with an established, profitable, and scalable company are far greater. Dan highlights eXp Realty's impressive growth to over 85,000 agents across 24 countries, its proven revenue-sharing model, and the stability it offers compared to newer, unproven companies that may face profitability challenges or potential failure.
