There is definite change occurring in Real Estate brokerage including mergers, acquisitions, sellouts, roll-ins, conversions and plenty of closings of Real Estate offices. My job is to have my thumb on the pulse of these changes; any hint of someone making a move initiates a call from me to see if they have what it takes to be part of EXIT Realty. You see, I sell franchises, but I am not a franchise salesperson. I treat my career as a relationship building experience; selecting those franchise prospects that will take a leap of faith and invest in EXIT, so I can invest in supporting them in our system. And, I always ask myself this question, "Why would someone join EXIT Realty"? The answer is simple to me and after reading this, it will be simple to you. We have lasted through this turbulent time in our industry because of the strong foundation our CEO and Founder, Steve Morris, built back in 1996 when EXIT Realty was formed. I am convinced we will become the most productively successful Real Estate Company on Earth.
I am going to share ten (10) differences between EXIT Realty and the other choices. But, before you read them, consider this: you can travel the Dixie Highway from Michigan to Florida in a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Lexus or Cadillac. Some are more comfortable, some more efficient, but all good choices for getting you down the road. Then, you have the choice of a Helicopter to achieve the same result. Which makes better sense to you? EXIT Realty is your helicopter. Carefully consider what I am about to share with you and see if they hold the same value to you as they do for us.
Top 10 differences between EXIT Realty and the others
1. Our Unique Operating System(The EXIT Formula). It is simple and it works. It provides additional income streams to agents and their families including retirement and death benefits. Over $175 Million has been paid out to date and it is not contingent on the profitability of the company. It welds agents into a brokerage and allows them to build a business within a business through the power of vesting the agent with the broker. True mentorship.
2. No Service Fees (%). EXIT Realty does charge a minimal Transaction Fee, but it is off the agents portion of the commission, not a 5-10% fee off the top like others. Simply put, you net more at EXIT Realty.
3. Protected Territories. We sell protected territories to allow you the elbow room to grow when you feel it is appropriate, and to have an asset, something of value with your Franchise Agreement.
4. International Single-Call Franchise Support System. Not only do we offer full-time direct Franchise Support staff available to our Franchisees, we also provide full-time agent support services lines as well. We are here for you, live, when you need it.
5. MEMO and EXITtrac. Proprietary software systems to not only operate your franchise, but to track and maintain the agents sponsored into the company so you can see past, current and pending activity. Our software systems are among the best in the industry and available to make it easier for you to run your office.
6. Trend Setters. EXIT Realty recognizes that a high percentage of leadership in corporations are shifting to women. Our U.S. and Canadian Presidents are both highly skilled and experienced women that have both been identified as outstanding women in leadership.
7. Green Initiative. EXIT Realty recently introduced our company-wide "Teal is the New Green" initiative in support of the green movement across the country. In November, we were the Cover Story in RisMedia's Real Estate Magazine announcing this trend setting move to stay ahead of the curve.
8. Available CEO/Founder and Leadership. When is the last time you spoke to your CEO or upper-level management? How available are they when you need them? EXIT Realty is committed to service and support, as well as being available to our people who have made the investment in our company. We are here for you.
9. Technology Tools. Everyone has technology and tools, but, do they have the right technology and tools? Do they have a technology specialist available to answer your questions at your fingertips? We do. We know how important technology is today to compete and we have some innovative and exclusive tools just for our people.
10. Mindset Training. EXIT Realty believes that good agents are born, great agents are trained. While other companies are cutting back, EXIT is forging ahead, keeping the focus on training agents to better service the clients and be more productive for our franchisees. It simply makes good sense.
Based on the feedback I receive while interviewing franchise prospects, I would say we have 10 reasons why you should consider EXIT Realty. These are important, relevant, and imperative to staying competitive today in Real Estate. As a broker, you deserve the best system and support available and owe it to yourself to look further into EXIT Realty to see if it makes sense to you and your situation.

It’s 5:30 Tuesday morning and I’m in my car heading down the road again for a week of appointments. One thing I love is to see the sun coming up over the hood of my car on a frosty fall morning. Few cars are on the road between towns on the rural sections of the highway which makes it very serene and peaceful. I spent Monday following up and planning my week according to my weekly schedule that I follow religiously, it helps me stay organized and be most efficient while away from the office.
In today’s day, I carry my office with me everywhere. With my Iphone, my netbook, my presentation folders and every file I own digitally and electronically accessible via internet on my phone and computer, I am connected always. You don’t have to be big in technology if you simply know where to go and get it; such as having mobile files, I can access anything on the road that I can in the office. (Well, except for coffee, but that’s in my thermos next to me in the seat). While I truck on down the road, I listen to audio books of inspiration and often replay the “60 Minutes with EXIT” CD to get my head in the game. Rather than clutter my mind with songs, I use this road time to prepare mentally for the day and week ahead.
The time before 8am is valuable; no phone calls and rarely emails, it is a time where I can sit back, cruise on down the highway and think about the people I am about to meet. Often going over my notes on previous contacts with my upcoming appointments, I think about their needs, our needs and how they would fit into our company. What is their market like? What is their biggest challenge today in their market and their office? How could EXIT help them in their situation? Are they a good fit overall for our company? All these effective questions play over and over in my mind to ensure I don’t miss anything. I only get one shot at a first impression so I need to make the most of it.
You see, everything I do is relationship building. Franchise sales, recruiting and development takes time. There is no quick kill in this business. If you rush this process, you will seem too eager, too desperate, and most of all, too much like a salesperson that is more interested in numbers than ensuring the message is delivered properly. While I begin my day at my first appointment, I stop into some competing offices in town to door knock and cold call, you know, just to let them know I am in town. You never know who is a prospect in this business. Liken it to driving by a FSBO one day and the next your competition’s sign is on the lawn. You say, oh, I meant to call them but was too busy. Or, they went FSBO so they probably don’t want to talk to me. You never know today, one contact can lead you to your next lead, and save you a lot of time in the process.
After a day of appointments, I type my hotel information into my Tom Tom and head to my home-away-from-home for the evening. Another night alone while my wife back home sleeps in our comfy bed. A little television, some computer time, a Skype Call to my wife to tuck her in, some general planning for the next day, and my head hits the pillow. I ask myself, did I take EXIT and our Region further today?Ring, ring, wake up call. Ughhh. Time to do it all over again. Work out, shower, breakfast and hit the road.
Thursday evening comes and I cannot wait to get home and climb in my own bed. You know, I always think about these things and my travel schedule, but you know what comes to mind more often? Tami Bonnell and her travel schedule. Tami is our U.S. President for EXIT Realty. I may be in a car every day, but she has planes, airports, fast food, speaking engagements, meetings, and much more, EVERY WEEK! She does this for all of us and I so appreciate her efforts, along with everyone in our company that gets up every day to make EXIT a better place to be. Thank you for being part of EXIT Realty. Press on!
I surf and I surf yet I cannot seem to find who coined this all-popular phrase but I can tell you it is not limited to basketball. Never has it had more importance in Real Estate than now, and those that understand basic finance understand the term net income. Net income is best described as retained earnings after deductions. I am in the Real Estate Franchising business as the Regional President of EXIT Realty Michigan and Illinois, and if I had a dollar for every agent that told me they made 100%, well, you know the rest. Is it that difficult to understand there is always a cost for doing business? Do the majority of agents really understand how to read a closing statement and discern not just their cut but how it relates to their payment structure at their brokerage? It is obvious, there is no free lunch and until EXIT Realty, there was no way to earn more than 100%.
Now, let me be clear on something before I go on, there are many factors that influence an agents decision to work at a particular brokerage, but the split always ranks high in their choice. I was attending the IAR Convention in Illinois last week and spent the majority of my time having conversations with Realtors as they stopped by our exhibit. Overwhelmingly, the very first question they asked me was "what is your split"? Come on. Really? EXIT Realty may offer a generous split at 70% with a low transaction fee, but it is rarely about the split, it is about the net. How much do you take home for you and your family after all the long hours and hard work in this business. And, is what you are making (closing to closing) moving you closer to your financial goals?
EXIT Realty is built upon a bedrock foundation of being a Real Estate Company first, with the added value of an additional income stream that is simple to understand and real. It is the nature of real estate companies to recruit agents. If this is true, why have the most important job in a brokerage be left up to one person? Wouldn't it be nice if you could not only make a comfortable living on your commissions, but the added benefit of residual income? A piece of the action for helping your company grow with the right agents that understand the value of empathy? A back-up plan if you will, a steady flow of revenue tied to the production and leverage of others. It simply makes good business sense.
In the wheel of life, you should have spokes of income to stabilize your financial position. If any one of the spokes break or is removed, the others continue to support you. This simply put is residual income and we at EXIT Realty provide it. Single-level, NOT multi-level. Do you understand what that means? This is not smoke and mirrors, profit sharing, contingent or complicated to understand. 10% off the top, I am talking the gross, for those you introduce to the company, flows to you at each of your recruits closings with no one to hold it hostage; you are in control. Stop thinking about our unique name and start thinking like a business person, one that understands financial stability and leverage and explore our business model. The quicker you join EXIT Realty, the quicker your life will be enriched, and your financial position will be strengthened.
Brokers, now I am talking to you. If you ever wanted to own a Real Estate Franchise, now is the time. We will support you. We provide all the tools, technology and better training than that of our competitors, but with the added value of support from a company that cares about your success. Wouldn't it be exciting to be the first EXIT Realty office in your marketplace? The underdog, the new kid on the block with nowhere to go but up? The ability to create the reputation and image you want, with the strength of our business model behind you. Here is a secret, agents are looking for a new choice of Real Estate Company that is not the old, traditional model. They want more. The new generation of Realtors want more than just their sales commissions. The retiring agents want, well, to retire. But, few have income to do so. Retire with EXIT and earn up to 7% off each agent you sponsored into the company, forever, as long as they stay with EXIT. Is that better than what you have now?
Independents-According to NAR, 82% of all Real Estate business is transacted by a franchise brand. We will help you roll your brokerage into an existing EXIT Realty office and watch your overhead go away and you can either retire or go back to selling. In fact, bring all your agents and you receive up to 10% off each of them! Perpetually! Not just a one time buyout of your desk furniture and old computers, but a perpetual income year after year. Not bad, eh? This creates mentoring whereby the better your recruits do, the better you do.
Franchise contract expired and scratching your head on what to do? Call us, it may be the best decision you ever make for your company. If you qualify, we promise to make the transition smooth and help you grow to the level you want.
Bottom line, your mind is like a parachute. It works best when open. Don't let others make your decisions for you. The grass may be greener at EXIT Realty, that is for you to decide. EXIT is not a good fit for everyone, we admit. However, if you are looking for a positive change in your Real Estate career, look no further than EXIT Realty. You are a Real Estate Professional! Pick up the phone and call me to visit for a few minutes, I promise not to waste your time. Visit our website to locate the Regional Owner or Franchisee closest to you to get started today.
Best of luck to you-

Happy Tuesday to all of you professional Real Estate Agents. Today I want to share a secret with you. A secret about success in not only Real Estate, but life as well.
I am currently reading a book called "Training Camp" and it is about what the very best do that everyone else does not. In other words, what do the best of the best do to become the best that is so different than what the average do (or don't do). (By the way, this book was a surprise gift from the U.S. President of EXIT Realty Corp International, Tami Bonnell). It is very simple and there are no secrets. It is about practice. In Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers" it talks about how it takes 10,000 hours to become the best. How Bill Gates practiced for 10,000 hours on the only computer available for countless hours which gave him the experience and opportunity to start Microsoft.
Training Camp is written about a young football player trying to get into the NFL and how he takes advice from a past coach/trainer/player from the NFL. You see, it is very simple. The game is not won on gameday because of luck or extra hard effort on that day, it is 95% won before they get on the field or court or course due to all the practice leading up to the contest. Golfers hit a million puts before sinking the winning put at the U.S. Open. Football players condition and lift weights in the off-season, read playbooks, watch hours of play tape, and run countless plays leading up to the Superbowl gameday.
Such is life. The best salespeople in the world have no secrets to tell, except the simple fact that it takes practice to be the best. They all do the same thing. They show up for work early, plan their daily schedule, make calls, follow up, repeat. Did you know this is the secret to the success of most Realtors? 94% of all Realtors wait for the phone to ring and the remaining 6% go out and pursue the public for business. We are salespeople! We sell things! That is what a salesperson does! The most successful Realtors understand the importance of not only practice, but that in order to be the best, they need to do what the others will not do. Let me refer you again to the story of Christopher Gardner and the movie"Pursuit of Happyness"where he states clearly that X number of calls means X number of prospects and so on. You get the picture.
It is very apparent in the Real Estate Business today that technology is taking over the marketing and advertising component of prospecting. To this I say, be careful; all in moderation. Yes it is important to engage the social media to not only compete, but to maintain a competitive advantage and become noticed by potential buyers and sellers. However, there is no substitute for excellent communication and negotiating skills once you get in front of your prospect. Therefore, practice in the arena of becoming a master orator is extremely important. Those that have a daily schedule, make calls, and follow up are noticeably and statistically more successful than those that rely solely on the web to make the phone ring.
I share this with you today because had I not attended Boot Camp Training withEXIT RealtyTrainerAlex Szinegh, I would have not had the courage to prospect on the phone. He teaches our associates with EXIT Realty how to break down inhibitions and prospect to be successful. Real Estate is a game of numbers and those willing to put in the time to become the best, will become just that.

The Real Estate business is, as George W. Bush once referred to something, “Not Rocket Surgery”. Would you agree we make it seem more difficult than it is? Then, when things are not going as planned, the blame game begins. Well, it must be the weather, the economy, the ozone layer, those darn banks….blah, blah, blah. Now, granted, there are many factors that can come betweeneveryday life, deals and goals that cause us grief, but often times there is a solution if we keep a cool head and focus.
I am so proud of our Michigan Franchisees for their dedication to EXIT Realty and their perseverance in this business. They are faced everyday with enormous challenges that come with running a brokerage, it can sometimes seem like swimming upstream with grizzly bears waiting with their mouth open. Again, it takes a cool head, a good team and incredible focus. We all play such an important part in all of our success that it must be pointed out how valuable everyone is. Much like a link in a chain, we all play specific roles to succeed in the Real Estate Business.
I believe in subliminal effect. Many times thoughts are formed in my brain from seeing something more than once, or aligning events and thinking there is something to the coincidence. Is it coincidence? So every time you look at your watch it reads the same time or you hear the same line on the radio, then on a T.V. program, then someone repeats the same line. Is that a coincidence? It is a sign, and if you ignore it, you may lose an opportunity that may not come by again.
The key to sales is not going to surprise you. It is a numbers game; always has been and always will be. You ask 100 people if they want to buy something and odds are good at least one will buy. Read any sales book and the one that wins is the one that gets in front of the most people. To support my claim, I happened to be watching one of my favorite movies a couple weeks ago “The Pursuit of Happyness” with Will Smith. There is a line in the movie when he begins his internship at the Investment Company where his subconscious says out loud “It was simple; X number of calls equals X number of prospects. X number of prospects equals X number of customers. X number of customers equals X number of dollars in the companies pocket”.
BAM! (as Emeril would say). This also coincides with the message from our CEO and Founder, Steve Morris, regarding the plain fact that 94% of Realtors wait for the public and 6% actively pursue them. Those 6% control the market. Which group are you in? Do you need an accountability partner to ensure you are actively pursuing the public and prospecting for business? At EXIT Realty, through our simple business model, we have a "built in" mentorship component where everyone cares and everyone shares. It makes good common sense to team up with a partner and work together to build your career stronger.
As I travel around the State of Michigan, I am still amazed at the number of independent Real Estate offices that are swimming in debt and waiting for that next deal to close. If you follow the Michigan economy at all, a large number of Real Estate transactions are either Short Sale or Bank Owned. For a Realtor, this translates into additional work, intense negotiating, worrisome customers, and often reduced commissions. Longer time between paydays with reduced commissions can create enormous economic hardship for the Realtor as well as the Brokerage.
The good news? There is a solution and it may be time to consider converting to a Franchise. You see, pride can often get in the way of a good business decision and this is simply that, a business decision. Sit back and look at your specific situation with an open, business mind and ask yourself what makes the best sense for your agents and your company? Is the path you are currently on going to offer you the best advantage and get you closer or further away from your goals? Do you have the tools, training and technology to compete in today's quickly changing Real Estate market? It makes plenty of sense to combine efforts, reduce overhead and "retool" to make your company profitable again.
I have met with many independent Real Estate Broker/Owner's that say "I Hate Franchises"! They find franchising unattractive and I can understand why. They either used to have a franchise and were let down, or see the franchise as a control mechanism to put limits on their ability to run their business the way they want to. Many Franchises offer very little for the high royalties and fees you pay. Instead of a conventional company 100% controlling you, and instead of a 100% company being controlled by you, wouldn't it be nice to have the Broker/Owner and agents vested together to build a bigger, better company?
I have found most independent Real Estate Broker/Owner's are either wanting to retire or return to selling. They are often times "burned out" from managing agents and riding the cycle of Real Estate brokerage ownership and want to simplify their life. Also, I find few of them have good systems in place to hold agents accountable and keep them motivated and productive. An office with negative, non-productive agents would make any Broker/Owner want to hang it up. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a system in place where the franchise company offered training and support for you and your agents with the premise that you were working together?
So, what can you do? First, get your psychological furniture re-arranged. You have to get "you" right so you can make prudent, effective business decisions. Evaluate where you want to be in 5 and 10 years. Do your research on Franchise brands that offer the most value according to your goals, including the welfare of your office and your agents. Make sure you evaluate your best return on investment and truly recognize if you are buying the honeymoon or the marriage. Remember, price is only an issue in the absence of value.
The Real Estate office of the future supports the informed consumer, the mobile agent, smaller more retail office space, state-of-the-art technology and on-demand training for the agents. All of this is available with a franchise. In fact, at EXIT Realty, we specialize in support, training and business leadership offering the lowest franchise fees in the industry with the most solid platform to offer the best opportunity for profitability. So, in the analogy of finding the right shoe that fits well, you owe it to yourself, your family and your agents future to consider a franchise that looks out for you. Best wishes and keep your eye on the ball!

Real estate professionals should adopt the role of information provider
EXIT Realty Corp. International US President, Tami Bonnell, recently addressed attendees at RISMedia's 4th Annual Power Broker Forum at NAR MidYear entitled "Maximizing Distressed Property Business". RISMedia's Maria Patterson reported:
Discussing the risks involved in distressed property transactions, Tami Bonnell advised real estate professionals to adopt the role of information provider.
Another post from another top agent with EXIT Realty, published with permission from the author, Vince Arcuri at www.headofrealestate.com
I came to Exit for the single level residuals and the UNLIMITED potential they offer. What I am in shock over is the constant offerings of first quality training available via live video and by the marketing tools offered to their agents and brokers to help them...... help US get property sold and closed. The SUPPORT that is offered is just too good to believe if I were not experiencing it myself. I had TWO closings just today that were a DIRECT RESULT of Exit Realty's national marketing. Also, even though EXIT Realty in Tampa Bay is small compared to other brokerages here (and TRUST ME, it will not take me long to open the eyes of Tampa Bay to QUALITY and EXIT will make an "ENTRANCE" into and onto Tampa Bay) the fact remains that EXIT is strong all over North America. Yesterday a man walked into my office. He said he was from Dade County and saw the EXIT sign on the building, turned his car around and gave me a listing on a vacant piece of property he owns in North Tampa. He said he has personally experienced EXIT Realty and the quality marketing and he expected no less in this area. The EXIT reputation got me another BONUS!
I look back on my past 5-6 years in real estate. I was always in a bad mood. Grumpy, fighting with everyone. Just not happy. I made a move to my last office for all the wrong reasons and remained unhappy. When I came to EXIT, I left all that bad luggage behind. I had stayed with ERA longer than I should have. I was the #1 ERA Agent in Tampa since 1995. I figured that when I got knocked off that post, I'd make a move. Then I was #1 in Florida in 2007 and then again in 2008. Then in 2008, I was also #1 in the world with ERA (Team Arcuri). It just was not going to end................................. I was still miserable!
Now, I'm very happy. I made the move to EXIT. My goal now is to be the #1 EXIT Agent in the World! The DIFFERENCE IS THIS: The #1 EXIT Agent in the world will share everything they have with me, and I to him or her. We all work as a TEAM to help other agents be a success! Why? Residuals! When my group (EXIT) does well, I get a paycheck! When my recruits from ERA have a closing, I got ZERO! It was an easy move. The last firm was only intrested in how much they could charge me in fees. EXIT really cares about me and my business.
In a Nutshell: While other brokerages are trying to sneak in ways to make money off their Agents, EXIT is trying to make money FOR their Agents with the thinking that if they help their own agents make a profit, they will not leave Exit ever and THEN the company can profit. They look out for us FIRST and the company is secondary. The other firms look our for themselves first and the Agents second. No wonder so many brokerages are going out of business.

EXIT Realty welcomes John Buchanan, formerly of Keller Williams®
Humble, Texas (Grassroots Newswire) April 2, 2009 -- John Buchanan, one of Houston's top real estate professionals, joined EXIT Realty N.E. Houston in Humble.
"We're excited to welcome John to EXIT Realty," says A. Keith Hebert, Broker/Owner of the EXIT Realty Northeast Houston office at 3824 Atascocita Road, in the Kroger Shopping Center at the corner of Will Clayton & Atascocita Road. "EXIT Realty is growing and attracting top producing real estate agents like John each and every day."
John brings 7 years of real estate experience to EXIT Realty in the greater Houston metropolitan area. He joins EXIT as Director, Relocation Division, and Director of Public Relations.
John was Rookie Of The Year with Keller Williams® in 2002, has been a Bronze Level recipient & Top Producer every year, was a member of the ALC, and was recognized by Keller Williams® as a Top Listing Agent and Top Units Producer for 2008.
"I'm very excited," Buchanan said. "My clients and my friends in the real estate industry are supportive of this move and are excited for me, too. I can't wait to get started at EXIT. I'm especially looking forward to organizing community events in my public relations role."
EXIT Realty is growing across North America and provides sales associates with the opportunity to earn residual income over and above their own transactions and an enhanced retirement and beneficiary benefit; all of which have been unheard of in the real estate industry until now.
Each week our newest associate from Tampa, Vince Arcuri, posts a blog about his experience since joining EXIT Realty. So, why is this blog-worthy and why would I re-blog his comments? Simple, Vince was #1 in the World for ERA in 2008 and left to join EXIT Realty; a true professional Realtor that now realizes he has joined the best Real Estate company that has true culture and puts their associates first. We underpromise and overdeliver on technology, training, systems and tools that can make your life as a Realtor more productive and profitable.
We know every Realtor has options, but consider this: You can get most anywhere with either a Ford, GM, Chrysler or even a Ferrari in a reasonable amount of time. But, what if I offered you a helicopter? Would that change your perception of efficient travel? EXIT Realty is the helicopter; the choice is clear and the choice is yours. Put your ego aside like others are and take a look at our business model. You will quickly find that it is one that vests brokers and agents together in a partnership for each others success. Our foundation is our culture and our residual system is a bonus.
Read Vince's latest comments and stay tuned for more to come.
Posted on April 7th, 2009 by admin
I got a call from a "headhunter" from RE/MAX today. She was shocked that I left ERA after 18 years! "Why not RE/MAX" she asked me. I told her all of the great reasons why I was drawn to EXIT Realty. I explained all of the great tools they offer me to market my listings and all of the great agents sending referrals nationwide. I told her about Single Level Residuals! Do you know what this person told me? She said that it did not make sense to go with EXIT because I had to rely on the sales of others to make the residual monies. I thought "YEA! That is great ...... right?" She said she would rather take her own money and put it into a retirement account and save for her own "EXIT" from the business. I thought to myself as I was having this conversation, why is every real estate agent in America not with EXIT? The managers of those other firms can't even come up with a rational reason as to why EXIT is not good! This lady was trying to tell me I was better off paying $25,000 to RE/MAX to rent an office space than I was at EXIT?
So I'm better off with another firm? I hire in at EXIT and bring agents in and make 20%-30% more than 100% and that is not good enough. When I was with ERA, the maximum I could ever make (if I could find a broker who would pay me 100%) was 94%. With RE/MAX, say 100% (- the $25,000 per year office fee), Century 21 is the same as ERA and so is Coldwell Banker, so 94% is your cap if you find a broker willing to let you set up shop for FREE (NO WAY NO HOW unless your dad is the owner of that franchise). With EXIT, you can make 200% of your gross income. You can make 300%. This residual plan is SINGLE LEVEL. This is not a crazy "profit sharing plan" like at Keller Williams (who by the way never could explain to me how I was getting my money from the residual plan and neither can any of their agents). If you are an agent, especially if you are under 50 years old, you can really set yourself up for a six figure retirement plan. I plan on staying with EXIT until I DIE (and oh, by the way, my children will continue to pick the fruit off the EXIT tree when I pass away). What is your company going to do for your family if you passed away unexpectedly? Check with your local EXIT broker today and see what EXIT has to offer. If you don't, you are selling yourself, your family and your clients, short of what they could and should be getting from you.
