After a Decade at Keller Williams, She Finally Found What Was Missing
Tammy Register was not leaving a problem. Her Raleigh-Durham team was doing $88 million a year and appearing on the RealTrends America's Best list. In July 2025, after nearly ten years at Keller Williams, she moved it to eXp Realty.
Figures and quotes below are from eXp Realty's announcement of the move.
What eXp reported
- $88 million in 2024 sales volume
- 316 transactions closed
- 15 agents and 5 operational staff
- RealTrends America's Best recognition
- Nearly ten years at Keller Williams as of the 2025 move
The complaint was isolation, not economics
"While we were top performers in our old environment, it often felt like we were building in a vacuum." — Tammy Register, quoted in eXp Realty's announcement of the move.
This is a specific complaint and it is worth taking literally. A team doing $88 million in a single market center is usually the top team in that market center, which means there is nobody local to benchmark against. You stop learning from peers because you have run out of peers.
Two years of looking
eXp reported that Register evaluated her options over more than two years before moving. That is the pattern in nearly every one of these stories, and it is the part worth copying. Agents who move quickly usually move for a bonus and move again within eighteen months.
"What we found at eXp was not just a new model, but a new mindset — one that thrives on open collaboration, where every conversation makes you sharper and every idea is a stepping stone." — Tammy Register, in the same release.
That is recruitment-release language. The underlying claim — that a cloud brokerage puts you in rooms with producers at your level in other markets — is testable before you sign anything, and you should test it.
If you are the top team in your market center
The questions that matter are unglamorous: what your all-in cost per closing actually is, what your cap resets to, what happens to your database, and whether your current brokerage's cap is even published. Our page for experienced agents covers the practical mechanics of moving a producing book, and the eXp teams page covers how an existing team is carried across intact.
On cost: eXp is an 80/20 split to a $16,000 annual cap. On Bean Group's Mega Team the eXp cap is $4,000, and the Bean Group team split is a separate line item that is not capped and varies by ladder level. Both numbers are on the plans page, and you should model both.
