“I’ve known Shon now for about about three years. I was changing from MAPS coaching when I was at Keller Williams and I was looking for a coach, so I called a guy that I knew. He had actually joined as a coach with Shon, and was like, ‘I bet I could get Shon Kokoszka to coach you.’ I was like, ‘okay’, and five minutes later, he called me. That’s how it all started.”

“Shon’s got a lot of claims to fame. One of them, probably the most notable besides KW MAPS, is that from what I understand, he’s one of the only people in the United States that successfully sold a team. So I want to learn from that guy. I want be associated with him, because he obviously knows what he’s doing – especially in terms of mindset, training, accountability and building an actual business. Those are the things that really set him apart.”

“I would recommend him to any agent. He has the ability to coach an agent from the very beginning, like their first day in the business, all the way to somebody that’s been in the business for decades. Also, he cares.”

“I can say that with a huge amount of confidence that he actually cares and you can tell that he does. I’ve dealt with a lot of real estate coaches in my career, where I would come to them with a problem, and the only thing that they would say is, ‘you just need to sell more real estate’. I’m like, ‘no, that’s not going to fix this problem. It’s not a real estate related problem.’ Shon actually takes time to listen to your needs instead of just talking about production and business numbers. He’ll actually the coach to the person, which is the mark of an excellent coach.”

“I’ve never dealt with somebody that holds themselves to such a high standard as Shon does. He walks the walk, and he’s done everything that he says that he’s done. I’ve dealt with other coaches that are like, ‘I’ve done this’, and then you find out later that they never did – they just read it in a book. Shon’s actually done this stuff. So, as far as integrity is concerned, I can’t think of anybody in the coaching realm that has more integrity than Shon.”

“Is Shon an eXp influencer? You know, I was actually the first agent to join him in eXp, which shows that’s how I feel about that question. I mean, I’m the first one to join, so yeah, he’s quite influential.”

“eXp has been the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me in my career, quite frankly. There really isn’t any way to put it differently. I did very well at the previous brokerage. I learned a lot there, and I have no problems with them. It’s that eXp represented a better opportunity, and I think that that’s what my family deserves and what the people around me deserve.”

“As a result of joining eXp my income my first year increased, and I moved halfway through the year. So when you do things like that and you move halfway through the year, like your income should go down, right. Mine went up. I ended the year with about a hundred percent increase in my income – and my expenses went down. So, as far as the eXp model is concerned, the best way to put it is that there are really two types of agents – those that have joined eXp and those that are going to join.”
