Build Your Business. Backed by Experience.
Craig Lerch · Real Estate Broker · eXp Realty LLC
If you're a real estate agent looking for a sponsor who's been in the trenches — not just talking about the business but actually doing it for 35+ years — you're in the right place. Craig Lerch has closed more than 4,000 transactions, owned and operated a boutique brokerage, spoken to audiences of 10,000+, and built a career on results through a disciplined mindset and competitive attitude. Now he's building at eXp Realty and looking for agents who want the same thing: real growth, real support, and a real path forward.
Whether you're a brand-new agent looking for mentorship or a seasoned producer tired of the traditional brokerage model, joining Craig's team at eXp gives you access to decades of experience, a proven system, and one of the most innovative platforms in real estate.
Let's Go!
Why Craig Made the Move to eXp
After 17 years running his own brokerage and 15 years in his family's business, Craig made a deliberate decision to disrupt his own career. At 55, he chose eXp Realty — not because he had to, but because the model aligned with his vision for the future of real estate.
Revenue Sharing
eXp's revenue share model lets you earn residual income by helping grow the company. Unlike traditional splits, revenue share rewards you for building — and it's uncapped. Craig saw the potential to create a stream of income that compounds over time, separate from his personal production.
Stock & Equity
Every agent at eXp can earn company stock through the ICON Agent program and other production milestones. It's not just about commissions — it's about ownership. Craig wanted to be part of a company where agents are shareholders, not just independent contractors with a logo on their business card.
Cloud Brokerage
No brick-and-mortar overhead. No territory limits. eXp's cloud-based model means you can work from anywhere, serve clients across state lines, and access tools, training, and collaboration through a virtual campus that never closes. For Craig, it was the infrastructure he needed to scale without limits.
What You Get with Craig as Your Sponsor
A sponsor isn't just a name on your registration. It's the person who answers the phone when you have a deal question, helps you navigate a negotiation, and pushes you to grow when you're comfortable. Here's what Craig brings to the table.
"I've helped 4,000-plus clients buy, sell, and invest. I've spoken to 10,000 people about growth and change. I didn't get into this to collect a override — I got into this to help agents build something real."
— Craig Lerch
35+ Years of Experience
From first-time buyers to luxury estates, from residential to commercial — Craig has seen and solved virtually every real estate scenario. That experience is available to you.
4,000+ Transactions
Numbers don't lie. Craig has negotiated, problem-solved, and closed more deals than most agents will see in five lifetimes. You learn from a track record, not a textbook.
Negotiation Mastery
Strategic negotiation is Craig's differentiator. He'll share the tactics and mindset that helped him close deals in every market condition — from bidding wars to challenging inspections.
Direct Mentorship
No gatekeepers. No getting passed to an assistant. When you join Craig's team, you get direct access — calls, strategy sessions, deal review, and real-time coaching from someone who's actively producing.
Proven Systems
From lead generation to listing presentation, from pricing strategy to closing coordination — Craig has refined systems over 35 years. You plug into what already works.
Real Relationships
Craig doesn't do transactional. His client relationships span decades, and the same goes for his agent relationships. When you join, you're part of something built on trust.

The Right Agent Knows When It's Time to Grow
Not every agent is a fit for every sponsor. But if any of these sound like you, it's worth a conversation.
New Agents Seeking Mentorship
You're licensed and motivated but need someone who's closed thousands of deals to show you how the real business works.
Experienced Agents Ready for More
You've been producing but feel capped by your current brokerage. You want ownership, equity, and multiple income streams.
Agents Leaving Traditional Brokerages
You're tired of desk fees, franchise fees, and splits that don't reflect your value. The eXp model is a different way to run your business.
