Why Join Summitly Instead of eXp Realty? (For Ontario Agents)
About eXp Realty: eXp Realty is a cloud-based real estate brokerage operating in Canada and internationally, known for a virtual/cloud model and a revenue-share structure.
The short answer
eXp Realty is a cloud-based brokerage known for its virtual model and revenue-share structure. Summitly — with Coldwell Banker Summit Realty — differs by pairing AI-driven lead generation with local, hands-on support and a globally recognized brand: the Zara lead engine, one-on-one mentorship from producing agents, done-for-you marketing, agent-first splits, and the Coldwell Banker brand including Global Luxury and Commercial. If you want AI leads plus real local mentorship and brand rather than a purely virtual model, compare the two.
