What to Look for in an eXp Sponsor or Upline – A Colorado Agent’s Perspective

The sponsor determines what kind of support, systems, and community you have access to once you join.

At Big Frontier Group, we’ve had countless agents come to us saying, “I wish I had known more before I picked my upline.”

So here’s what we recommend every agent think about before joining eXp—along with what we offer our team in return.

🚨 First: What Is a Sponsor at eXp Realty?

When you join eXp, you're asked to name your sponsor—the person who introduced you to the company.

That person becomes your first point of connection and can:

  • Help you onboard and launch

  • Introduce you to tools, coaching, and systems

  • Provide mentorship, leads, or local knowledge

  • Give you access to their support network, not just the corporate platform

Think of it as choosing your crew—not just your company.

🧭 What to Look For in an eXp Sponsor

✅ Real Support, Not Just a Sales Pitch

Do they offer you mentorship, training, or guidance after you join? Or do they just want your name in the system?

Ask:

  • What onboarding help do you provide?

  • How do you stay in touch with your agents?

  • What happens after I’m “in”?

✅ Local Knowledge or Niche Alignment

If you're a rural, land, or lifestyle agent—does your sponsor understand your market?

At Big Frontier Group, we’ve built our systems specifically for agents working across Colorado’s diverse regions, not just urban markets.

✅ Access to Coaching Ecosystems

Not all sponsors are connected to the same resources. Want access to Fast Forward Movement? You’ll need to join under a sponsor who’s part of it.

(Spoiler: Big Frontier Group is, and we plug every one of our agents in on day one.)

✅ Proven Systems & Tools

Ask what templates, CRMs, marketing systems, or daily activities they use. A good sponsor helps you hit the ground running with clarity.

✅ Availability & Integrity

Do they answer their texts? Do they show up? Do they share openly—or gatekeep information? The culture of your sponsor will shape your experience more than you think.

🚫 What to Watch Out For

  • ❌ Someone you barely know, but who spammed you online

  • ❌ Flashy YouTube recruiters with zero follow-through

  • ❌ Local agents who don’t actually train or collaborate

  • ❌ Random name drops that offer no structure or community

Your business deserves better than a passive upline.
