What Is the eXp Sports and Entertainment Division?
The eXp Sports and Entertainment Division is a specialized niche program designed for agents who work with professional athletes, entertainers, media personalities, and other public-facing clients. It operates within the eXp Luxury division and builds on that foundation with targeted education, branding, and network access.
Luxury real estate already demands elevated presentation and service. Sports and Entertainment clients add another layer, confidentiality, speed, and coordination with agents, managers, attorneys, and publicists. This division provides a structured framework so agents are not inventing processes in real time.
Rather than functioning as a one-off designation, the division operates as an ongoing professional lane. Members maintain certification, participate in continuing education, and remain visible in a verified directory used by advisors and internal referral partners.
How the Division Fits Inside eXp Luxury & Costs
Eligibility for the Sports and Entertainment Division begins with eXp Luxury approval. This ensures members already operate at higher price points and meet production or credential standards associated with luxury transactions.
Once inside Luxury, Sports and Entertainment adds:
- Advanced niche training
- A visible credential and badge
- Directory placement
- Mastermind access
- Branding specific to high-profile clients
The current annual fee is $1,495, separate from Luxury membership costs. Early or founding member pricing has existed at different times, but standard pricing applies unless otherwise offered by eXp Realty.
Training and Certification for Sports and Entertainment Agents
The Sports and Entertainment certification sits at the center of the division. Agents learn how to protect confidentiality, navigate NIL and endorsement issues, handle complex relocations, and manage high pressure timelines with full advisory teams at the table.
Course completion earns you a formal credential, a verified badge, and a listing in the Sports and Entertainment directory. That combination allows advisors, attorneys, and internal referral partners to verify certification status and division participation.
Education does not stop with the initial course. Members join live masterminds twice a month with top agents, athlete advisors, general managers, and entertainment insiders. Topics range from structuring deals for athletes on short contracts, to handling media exposure, to building systems that respond fast without burning you out. Sessions are recorded and available on demand through the eXp Luxury Academy.
Branding and Marketing Tools Provided
Sports and Entertainment members get a dedicated brand kit, official S&E logo, and a full suite of Canva templates for listing decks, buyer presentations, and social media.
The templates are hosted in Canva, allowing agents to update photos, colors, and local statistics without outside design services.
Networking and Referrals for High Profile Clients
The Sports and Entertainment Division includes directory placement and access to a vetted network of advisors, attorneys, wealth professionals, and concierge partners relevant to high-profile client transactions.
The division’s vetted partner directory includes vendors and professionals relevant to high-profile client needs, such as privacy-focused services, short-term housing, and time-sensitive relocations.

Inside the Sports and Entertainment certification, agents learn how to set up confidentiality procedures and work with advisors their systems match what high profile clients and their teams expect, in line with the NAR Code of Ethics.
Where can athletes find real estate agents who specialize in sports professionals?
Professional athletes usually find real estate agents through trusted advisors, team connections, and niche platforms. Within eXp’s Sports and Entertainment Division, certified agents appear in a dedicated directory and work inside a vetted network built for athletes, entertainers, and their teams.
Why This Matters Before You Join eXp Realty
Programs like the eXp Sports and Entertainment Division are designed to support agents working with athletes, entertainers, and high-profile clients, but they do not operate in isolation or replace the broader eXp Realty experience.
At eXp Realty, all agents receive the same core brokerage platform, including compliance, compensation, and access to company divisions. What differs is the sponsor ecosystem an agent aligns with.
The sponsor is selected during the application process, before most agents have used the brokerage’s systems, explored its tools, or seen how sponsorship works in real life. Knowing where sponsorship fits within eXp Realty’s overall structure helps agents view this decision in the right context.
