Joyce Paron, President of the Canadian Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International recently commented in the EXIT Recruiter Newspaper:

Could you have used some extra cash flow in the first quarter of this year?  Think about how more money in your bank account could have created a greater sense of relief and less anxiety. Perhaps it would have given you some extra breathing room and a better attitude. Maybe your family would have also felt the difference. There is no doubt that, like when your back is sore it seems to affect your entire body, when your financial resources are tight it seems to affect everything you do.

EXIT Realty Corp. International has now paid out over $150 million in single-level residuals to real estate agents all over the North American continent. The payout of residuals is escalating as the company grows. Many agents have received hundreds of thousands of dollars, allowing them to continue making health care, car and mortgage payments. Others have been able to, even in recessionary times, send their children to University, take vacations and have some peace of mind. More than ever, the EXIT Formula has proven its value and worth to families across the nation. 

EXIT provides agents with what they simply can't get anywhere else ... leverage; financial, educational and personal state-of-mind leverage. It's leverage available in any economy and in any market place. The talk show gurus and wealth management professionals constantly tout the advantages of multiple income streams. Cash flow is king, and in most cases, the only way to generate long-term cash flow is through material assets.

For example, the purchase of an apartment building provides rental income. However, to buy the building requires a deposit, which based on the building size, can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. On the other hand, EXIT provides the opportunity for income streams without years of having to save for a down payment. That's right, year after year income, through your retirement years that converts into a beneficiary residual. This is not possible anywhere else in the real estate industry. 

Imagine, through simply introducing an agent to an EXIT office, resulting in the agent joining the company, you can benefit up to $10,000 annually. And this is perpetual payment for as long as the agent maintains their real estate license with EXIT, anywhere in North America. Just one introduction over the course of 12 years could mean an extra $120,000 of income to you. Could you do something with that?

EXIT's proven real estate business model is improving the lives of REALTORS® everywhere.  And now it's your time to consider the benefits for you. EXIT provides a new doorway for building sustainable wealth. There has never been more truth to the term ‘value-added' than what the EXIT System does for providing leverage for hard working REALTORS®.  EXIT provides real life tools and systems to accelerate your career and improve your income.  If there was ever a time to come in closer to see for yourself what thousands of agents and brokers have already discovered; it's now. Call us to discuss what the EXIT System can do to create financial freedom for you and your family.

Supporting the growth and achievement of others is central to EXIT Realty's corporate philosophy. Entrepreneurs who get the most and best out of their team will in turn find success and satisfaction in the growth and achievement of everyone within their organization.

EXIT Realty's innovative residual formula provides the catalyst which sparks the collective opportunity and individual achievement.

Kathy Hobbs, Broker/Owner of EXIT Realty Pinnacle Group in Quinlan, TX recently remarked, "EXIT Realty makes me want to be the best I can be. Steve Morris makes me want to be a better person. Not just better at my business but mentally and physically for myself and my family. I am a better person because of EXIT. We are like a really big family."

This enthusiasm is contagious. Kathy continued, "I am a very positive person. I don't pretend I am happy, I really am. I love EXIT and I love to sell real estate. Agents feel like they can talk with me anytime. That is important."

EXIT Realty's technology adds to the impact. "I love EXIT e-Listings and EXIT Promo Shop. Every time our agents interview for a listing and demonstrate what EXIT e-Listings can do for them, we beat out the competition. I have everything I need and then some."

Kathy's results speak for themselves. "Our office grew to be the largest in my city within the first year. We are larger than all the other franchise brands that have been here for 15 and 25 years. In year two I opened a 2nd office with a partner who loves EXIT as much as I do. Then again with a 3rd office a month ago."

EXIT Realty provides a supportive environment which allows franchise owners the freedom of being their own boss, the personal growth achievable through focused effort, financial growth and flexibility, as well as the ability to support the growth and achievement of others.

NovaNewsNow.com reports that sales representative Kris Snarby with EXIT Realty Inter Lake in Nova Scotia is the agent for the community being billed as "Queen's County's first energy efficient community."  Read the story here.

On the other side of the continent, the Mail Tribune in South Oregon reports that Associate Broker Don McCoy of EXIT Realty Group is marketing "an innovative 18-unit project in Medford that utilizes many low-impact building techniques". McCoy says, "It's all about downsizing and keeping the footprint under control." Read the story here.

"'Green' is one of the top marketing buzz words of 2009," says Amy Youngren, EXIT Realty Corp. International's Manager of Ancillary Services. "EXIT is going green by introducing "Teal Is the New Green", an eco-friendly division, featuring special products and services of our Approved Suppliers.  "Teal Is the New Green" is another way that EXIT's Approved Supplier Program brings exceptional resources and extraordinary possibilities to our associates across North America."

Steve Morris, Founder & CEO of EXIT Realty Corp. International said in the most recent edition of the EXIT Recruiter Newspaper:

conclusion With EXIT Realty's fabulous Formula of single-level residuals, the gaps between closings shrink and cash flow strengthens. This reinforces a career and amplifies the fact that you really do deserve the best return on your invested time. The fact of the matter is that everyone working with each other for a positive desired result is really what EXIT stands for.

EXIT is designed to become the very largest and most productively successful real estate company in the world no matter what the market or economic conditions. We have now paid out over $150 million in single-level residuals to our people for helping to build this company. That's since the year 2000.

Concerning the recession in the U.S., the second half of 2009 proves to be the beginning of the light at the end of the tunnel. Those with the listings will reap the rewards. It's now time to stock the shelves. EXIT Realty is growing with tremendous momentum and everyone can feel it. The entire format is orchestrated with centralized control and is deal-driven not profit-driven.

With the recovery at hand, everyone is looking for an EXIT strategy. With our company you need not look any further. EXIT is the finest business decision that you will ever make in real estate. Join us now. You'll be glad you did.

Steve Morris, Founder & CEO of EXIT Realty Corp. International said in the most recent edition of the EXIT Recruiter Newspaper:

continued from yesterday
So, what does it take to survive in a real estate environment jam-packed in foreclosure, short sales, desperation and doubt?  Even the best real estate agents are affected in this kind of dilemma. Sure they're capable of listing everything in sight despite the circumstances, fear and trepidation. This is based on the fact that persuasion, conviction and determination are the elixirs that make the difference. Then add endurance and you maintain survival. The good ones always survive. Only a very few however, thrive under these conditions. Again, they have no leverage. They have nothing but their own energies. Leverage is "Other People's Energies" and "Other People's Money." Old brokerage methodologies have neither. EXIT Realty has both.

The reality of our industry right across the continent has always been that fast markets are a gravy train and slow ones are an empty refrigerator. It's always been feast or famine. Consistent positive cash flow has been a bit of a joke. EXIT Realty has changed this.

This change is a revolutionary reinvention. The EXIT Formula of single-level residuals has now built in stability, increased abundance and enhanced productivity no matter what the market. Those utilizing this Formula successfully are simply not affected by the ramifications of market ebb and flow.

For example; John works as an agent for EXIT. He introduces Mary to his broker and she is recruited as a salesperson. This introduction is called sponsoring at EXIT. As Mary's transactions close, John is paid an amount equivalent to 10% of Mary's gross production as a special bonus. This is paid from EXIT's head office and is deducted from the broker's portion of the commission. In this example, Mary earns $100,000 annually. This means John will receive $10,000 in bonuses. In the EXIT System, sponsoring can be done in any office in our system, right across the continent, and it continues for as long as the agent introduced stays and produces business. This gives our agents leverage.

In the above example, John sponsors in nine more agents producing the same amount of earnings. He would benefit financially to the tune of $100,000 annually. This amounts to $1 million over 10 years. These bonuses are over and above his earnings. They fill in the gaps between closings and provide him with abundant cash flow streams heretofore unavailable in real estate, and he becomes totally recession proof as a result.

John's broker also benefits because everyone in the entire EXIT system in North America has a vested interest in the growth of his or her office. That's broker leverage, plus, the agent sponsored into EXIT benefits because the person who introduced them has a vested interest in them. The more they produce, the better the 10% looks and there is every reason to pass down wisdom to enhance this. That is leverage as well. Literally everyone benefits.

Steve Morris, Founder & CEO of EXIT Realty Corp. International said in the most recent edition of the EXIT Recruiter Newspaper:

Traditionally, a career in real estate has been built on one's ability to generate listings and make sales. In other words, it's always been a two-dimensional platform even when it comes down to doing a rental.

Listings are either easy to get and hard to sell or hard to get and easy to sell depending on the market. They have always been a sound basis for spin-off business and the true foundation for domination in the marketplace. In fact, if you want to convert your selling from a job to a career, then specialize in taking listings. You list to last. Listings are worth their weight in gold. They are stock on the shelf and the true pivotal point of people to see, things to do and places to go. Those who control the listings, control the action, productivity, success and profitability of the industry.

Real estate is a rhythmical business that is emotionally based. The purchase is made because the customer loved the property. Granted; rationale, logic and practicality are part of the equation but the feeling factor predominates in almost every case. This causes demand for product. Supply and demand determine the rise and fall of the market and sometimes this shift is so severe that it results in whiplash.

Previous to EXIT Realty, an agent has only been as good as their last transaction. Individual results are predicated and limited to one's focus, energy, strategy, determination and desire. It all depends on you. In this regard, if you, the agent slow down, your productivity slows down, if you stop, it stops, and if you step off the tracks, it's over.

This is also true when the market slows down. The gaps between closings widen and cash flow stifles. Under these conditions, the old system renders many real estate salespeople helpless. There is no leverage.

Building a future one transaction at a time is a laborious process when the blood pressure drops in the industry, as the buyers market becomes an absolute reality. It is slow and uncertain.

The market in the U.S. was marvelous for seven years because the fish were jumping in the boat. The demand for property was tremendous and prices rose accordingly. Everyone worth their salt made a good buck. But then it all changed radically. The Subprime fiasco and all corresponding ramifications sucked all the blood pressure out of the system resulting in a recession. Wanting to buy was instantly replaced with having to sell. The impetus of growth was stilted. The marketplace caved in.

And what does it take to survive in a real estate environment jam-packed in foreclosure, short sales, desperation and doubt?  to be continued tomorrow
