Via The Team at EXIT Realty (EXIT Realty Corp. International):

The Regional Owners of Tennessee and Kentucky could do no wrong at this year’s EXIT Realty International Convention, hosted by the newly built Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. The picturesque setting overlooking the Potomac River provided the perfect backdrop for this momentous event.

Regional Owners Jean Marie and Mike Grumbles, Jean and George Styron and Barbara and Richard Rutan walked away with three huge wins! The first and most prestigious was the Region of the Year Award. This designation is awarded to the EXIT Region who has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they deserve to be acknowledged for their work ethic, business savvy, successes and the relationships they hold with their Franchisees and Sales Associates.

Jean Marie Grumbles, CEO of EXIT MidSouth, said of the award, “Region of the Year is truly a testament to the caliber of our Agents, Brokers, and Owners. It is not really about us but about them. Winning this year is even sweeter because of the tough economic conditions our country is facing. We are so pleased and proud of this honor and dedicate ourselves to even greater success.”

EXIT Realty Founder and CEO, Steve Morris, commented, “The unprecedented challenge of our economy has facilitated the ultimate arena for the full expression of character, sense of purpose, initiative, success orientation and empathy. This environment has rendered the best of the best most evident in EXIT Realty MidSouth. This decision was unanimous and deserving in every way.”

Not only did they come away with this honored designation but two more were soon to follow! In a draw that was held in the Saturday morning session, Barbara Rutan’s name was drawn and was awarded a One Year Subscription to Market Leader’s Realty Generator system – a value of $18,000!! This is something the entire region will benefit from!

Finally, at the always-anticipated President’s Ball Gala, the week came to a spectacular end for this already winning group of individuals. After hours of agonizing suspense, at the stroke of midnight, the winner of the $100,000 grand prize draw was announced. . Mike Grumbles! Yes that’s correct, one of the Regional Owners of EXIT Realty Mid-South was awarded $100,000!

“Congratulations to the entire Region on your success and all the best in the years to come,” commented Morris.

Teal is the New Green at EXIT Realty!

New environmentally-conscious initiative from EXIT 's Approved Supplier Program launches this week

"'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."

EXIT Realty Approved Supplier AnnounceMyMove is a proud supporter of the "green way of life". Their product is created online with no raw materials or paper. Each marketing piece is distributed via email, or integrated onto social media outlets such as Facebook, Craigslist, and others. Since its inception, AnnounceMyMove has steered their clients away from the "traditional" forms of marketing - including print, postcards, flyers, and direct mail - and has focused them on social networking while leveraging online technology. These marketing pieces are shared electronically, and viewed by tens of thousands of individuals. No paper is wasted. No ink or dyes used. No tress cut down. No waste produced.

Another participant is Home Warranty of America with "GreenPlus", the first green home warranty option in the US. This option covers replacements with ENERGY STAR® qualified products for the customer's dishwasher, water heater, refrigerator, washing machine and furnace (to 90% efficiency).

The aim of EXIT Realty's Approved Supplier program is to provide EXIT Associates with a vast selection of companies whose products and services will help maximize their business with EXIT. Approved Suppliers are carefully reviewed and selected based on credibility in their industry, special pricing and unique offers as well as their ability to fill a niche for EXIT.

"Our goal is to ensure that the Approved Supplier Program is a win-win for everyone involved," concluded Youngren.

EXIT Realty Associates can learn more about the Approved Supplier program by logging into the EXIT Resource Center.

PRESS RELEASE

EXIT Realty Nexus and ROI Auctions announce a partial inventory reduction of over 50 properties going up for auction on October 24^th. Renee Johnson, Dennis Dorman and Mike Berglund, all REALTORS® with EXIT Realty Nexus, along with Mike Harris of ROI Auctions are the key facilitators of this event.

Held at the Embassy Suites in Brooklyn Center with registration starting at eleven o'clock, this special auction will showcase 55 lots with bids starting at below market value. These auction lots, which are developed building sites in their respective municipalities, are available in Brooklyn Park, Maple Lake, North Branch, and townships in the Princeton area. These lots range from city lots to acreage lots.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for anyone looking to build either now or in the future," explained Mr. Dorman. "Additionally, we have owner financing available for those who qualify." In the current economic climate, lots have typically been placed on the lower rungs of the credit priority ladder and financing has been difficult to obtain. "Owner financing along with these lots being held in a traditional way makes it so that the purchaser does not have to wait for weeks or even months to get approval, only to wait again to close as they would with short sales or bank owned properties." said Ms. Johnson.

"Forty percent of sales in August were lender mediated sales according to the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®; in most cases, it meant a lot of waiting on the part of the buyer to secure their property of interest. Whereas with purchasing through an auction is vastly different" added Mr. Berglund. Auctions have become a successful option in this ever-changing real estate market. Consumers are able to leverage auction situations to set their own pricing, reduce waiting times, and in many instances purchase a property at below market value.

"We are really excited about presenting these properties to the public," explained Mr. Harris. "We have some properties that will be sold absolute. In other words, the property will be auctioned to the highest bidder regardless of the final bid amount. There will be no minimum bid on the absolute sales."

Walk-ins are welcome; however, space is limited. Pre-registration is recommended for everyone interested in attending. Consumers and real estate professionals can visit www.realestateauctiondeal.com for additional information and questions on registration, financial requirements, the auction process or the inventory itself. Furthermore, this team of experts has also set up a 24 hour hotline for general information on this event, 1.800.961.6706 ext 7326 for consumers and agents to call at their convenience.

For real estate questions and information, please contact one of the following; Mike Berglund at 763-548-1424; Renee Johnson at 612.636.2807, Dennis Dorman at 612.875.0033. For auction related questions and information, please contact Mike Harris at 763.245.7058.

Teal is the New Green: EXIT Realty Announces Alliance with EcoBroker® International

EXIT REALTY NEXUS Minneapolis MN — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:00:37 -0500

Via The Team at EXIT Realty (EXIT Realty Corp. International):

The green real estate movement is today’s mantra for everything from energy-efficient appliances and toxin-free building materials to all-natural cleaning supplies or water-saving products. Everywhere we turn, marketing screams for our lives to “go green!” Whether it’s the bag you pack your groceries in, separating recyclables before putting out the garbage or checking the tags on what you buy to ensure it’s organic, day-to-day living centers around being – or quickly becoming – eco-friendly.

With that in mind, EXIT Realty Corp. International announced today the launch of its green initiative, “teal is the new green”, which includes training, resources and other tools to assist their agents in marketing themselves as proficient green REALTORS^®. The centerpiece to this initiative is a new alliance with EcoBroker^® International, the world’s first and largest green designation program for real estate professionals.

EcoBroker's^® green designation training and ongoing support will provide EXIT Realty agents with the resources to be constructive green ambassadors in an ever-changing business and consumer world. They will be able to knowledgeably assist clients in their pursuit of properties that provide affordability, comfort and a healthier environment. EXIT-EcoBroker certified professionals will also help sellers effectively market their properties with green features. EcoBroker^® is the only designation which is taught by experts in both the green industry and the real estate industry. With over 5,400 agents trained world-wide, they are the largest green designation program for real estate.

“We are also the only green certification program that requires our members to take four hours of additional education each year,” says John Stovall, VP Business Development for EcoBroker^® International. “Our annual Advantage Course will keep EXIT-EcoBrokers on top of the latest information in the world of green real estate.”

EXIT-EcoBrokers will be equipped with additional energy and environmental information as well as tools to help them provide added value to all of their real estate transactions. “This training helps our agents address the newest topics in real estate, such as green home certification programs like ENERGY STAR^® ^",says Tami Bonnell, President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International. “It also provides practical solutions to assist them in working through issues that may arise in any real estate transaction, such as mold, radon, or poor indoor air quality to name just a few.”

Minneapolis & Saint Paul MN HOME BUYERS ADVANTAGE PROGRAM. A FREE Guide for Homebuyers in MN.

EXIT REALTY NEXUS Minneapolis MN — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:44:29 -0500

We are proud to have developed one of the best home buyer advantage programsfor people who are considering a real estate purchase in this every challenging Twin Cities housing market. This program is simply called the HOME BUYERS ADVANTAGE NEXUS.

By definition, NEXUS is defined as a group of connected people.Having said that, our homebuyers have access to SEVEN additional resources beyond the conventional listed properties everybody else has access to. In other words, as a home buyer, you can access properties that the majority of consumers and real estate agents either do not have access to or choose to investigate only what is already publicly posted for sale.

After all, people are saying there are many properties available. Correct? We understand each buyer wants a great deal. Great deals and opportunities come from a variety of sources including sources outside of the conventional platform outlined on any MLS data base. There is a lot of research that goes into buying or selling a home and we respect the fact that buyers want to do much of that research during their journey and they do not want to answer numerous questions from agents when all they want is a bit more information. We completely understand where consumers are coming from and respect their wishes. We simply want you to be the most informed consumer for when that time comes to purchase real estate. However, we also want you to have an edge on the competition.

OUR BUYERS have access to SEVEN additional sourcesof inventory that the general public cannot acquire on their own. Here are the real estate databases that few if any brokers will ever show home buyers:

1. We access all expired listings that match your criteria going back 2 years. Guess what? We contact them for you!

2. All of our past clients we’ve sold homes to over the years are notified of your specific needs so they can help in the nexus.

3. As an REO Broker managing several asset management firms and banks, we have access to numerous soon-to-be listed foreclosures, so do our buyers.

4. Every “For Sale By Owner” in the county that we know about will be notified of your specific needs.

5. Homeowners not on the market in your specific area of interest will be notified of your need to move in that neighborhood in case someone is thinking about moving soon.

6. Our home buyers get first dibs on our office controlled listings. Get Connected with:

7. And finally…We do have a few secret dealsthat sellers have asked us to keep quiet until we find the right buyer.

As mentioned previously, there is a lot of research that should go towards buying real estate. Believe or not, we want to meet you early on in your discovery process regardless if you’re planning a move next year or need to sell your existing home. All you need to do right now is fill out a brief questionnaire that outlines your needs and wants and you get to take advantage of our HOME BUYERS ADVANTAGE NEXUS as well as the Seven Additional real estate databases that few brokers if any access for their buyers. Here’s all you need to do right now. TO GET STARTED WITH THESE ADDITIONAL DATABASES simply click on the DREAM HOME FINDER. That’s all you need to do to get started. If you simply want to make a phone call to ask a few questions, please call: 763 548 1444 Thank you and may your day be blessed.

Ambassador Series - What is Localism?

EXIT REALTY NEXUS Minneapolis MN — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:50:26 -0500

Via Donna Bigda Realtor® CDPE e-PRO Branford Connecticut Homes and Condos (RE/MAX Alliance):

Are you new to Active Rain? Not sure of what Localism is and how it can be beneficial to you? When you're brand new to blogging it's often very difficult to come up with ideas for topics to write about on a consistent basis. I've been writing posts over almost 2 years and have had those days when I just can't think of anything to post.

One of the ways to overcome that problem is to write about your communities. The sister site and consumer facing side of Active Rain is Localism where members can display consumer oriented content about their local communities.

Posting to Localism allows you to interact and create connections with the public by providing them with local information and promotes you as the knowledgable local expert in your area,

I don't leave my house without my digital camera and flip video. You just never know when the opportunity will arise to take a picture of something of interest in your neighborhood. I also make sure I carry with me a small note pad too and jot down places of interest or upcoming events that I want to focus on at a later date to write a post about.

You're all familiary with Wikipedia, the free internet portal where there are millions of written articles on any topic you can think of many of which include links to guide its users to additional information on related pages.

Think of Localism as your local Wikipedia or as the tagline for Localism states "The World's Most Complete Neighborpedia."

Posts written to Localism consisting of hyper-local content and photos will attract consumers who want to learn more about a specific area. Write about upcoming events, local news, libraries, places of interest, schools, school activiites/sports, local businesses, parks, fund raising events....Think like a consumer and what they would be looking for that is engaging and interesting.

DON'T write content to your peers!!.....DO write content to the consumer!!

Your posts are sent to Localism by checking the box as shown and then choosing the state, county, city and neighborhood that you're writing your content for.

**If you are a free member any posts you've written are "Members Only." You will have to upgrade to a Rainmaker account to post to Localism**

As an Active Rain Ambassador, I would be more than happy to offer any assistance and help to any new members who are ready to get started.

I've included a few other member's posts that will provide additional information about the many benefits and ways that Localism can help to brand you as the local expert in your community.

Social Media is here to stay it's time to get onboard!

EXIT REALTY NEXUS Minneapolis MN — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:19:51 -0500

Via Tom Lyons Making You Findable (makingyoufindable.com):

Don't believe in Social Media? Well, it probably doesn't believe in you either! Which is why you don't get squat from it!

Ignoring social media is like missing the most important networking event in your community of the century! Anybody who's anybody is there, but you.

15 years ago there was this thing called the internet. You know just a fad passing through. Those that embraced it then now have a great web presence, and picked up an extra 50 grand per year in deals over the agent that thought it was a waste of time.

Oh, I can hear you now, "Tom, I don't have time for all this stuff, I'm too busy sitting around waiting for sign calls, or duty calls to make an extra $50,000." Yeah, ok, whatever!

Well by the time you get your butt in gear to get a website with some search rankings and traffic, the next generation will have dumped email, moved on to social mediums, and you'll still be wondering what happened.

Seriously, you could just go back to cold calling, you know until you get a big fat fine for violating the "Do Not Call" list!

Or maybe you still drop $300 per week into newspaper, you know the thing NO ONE EVEN READS anymore. That's $15600 on advertising that was responsible for 3% of home sales according to NAR! Good choice in money management. It's true your competitors are there, heaven for bid you be a leader!

Still don't believe in social media? Watch the video below!

EXIT Realty's Convention Can "Totally Transform" Your Real Estate Business

EXIT REALTY NEXUS Minneapolis MN — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:34:43 -0500

AWESOME SUCCESS STORY. NEXT CONVENTION WILL MOTIVATE YOU EVEN MORE CHIRSTY.

Via The Team at EXIT Realty (EXIT Realty Corp. International):

As EXIT Realty Corp. International's 11th Annual Convention draws near, Michael Glass, Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Georgia reflects on the impact last year's convention had on one GA Franchisee.

Christy Chitwood, Broker/Owner of EXIT Landmark Realty in Hartwell, GA has been with EXIT for over three years. With last year’s sluggish economy, Christy and her husband seriously contemplated closing down. To make it even tougher, she had just renovated and moved into a new office building she had purchased. Not wanting to give up, they attended last year’s EXIT convention. In one of the Breakout Sessions, they picked up one tip and implemented it even before returning home. That tip resulted in her selling one of Christy’s own listings. On the way back home, they listened to the Breakout Session tapes and gathered more great information and ideas. From that point on, their momentum grew.

Their business has absolutely exploded! Christy obtained her broker’s license and moved up to #1 in sales in her area. It is amazing how your life can change by attending events and trainings provided by EXIT Realty. (By the way, Christy and Shan are expecting their fourth child in March!)

"I can’t emphasize enough how being present at the EXIT convention and incorporating what we learn can totally transform one’s real estate business! Our office is living proof. Since convention last year, we have obtained #1 market share based on closed volume in the surrounding five counties! If there is anyone reading this that is SERIOUS about succeeding in real estate, you will do everything in your power to be in Washington the end of this month. It’s the best investment you could possibly make this year! When Steve [Morris, EXIT Realty Founder & CEO] promises an amazing and unforgettable event, he delivers! I can’t wait to get there!" says Christy.

If you have not registered to go to the convention as of yet, you are missing the opportunity to catapult your real estate career! All it takes is one idea and NEVER GIVE UP!

EXIT Realty Boasts Two Finalists for the REALTOR® Technology Spotlight Award

EXIT REALTY NEXUS Minneapolis MN — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:29:16 -0500

Via The Team at EXIT Realty (EXIT Realty Corp. International):

EXIT Realty is proud to have two exceptional individuals named as finalists for the prestigious REALTOR^® Technology Spotlight Award to be presented at the National Association of REALTORS^® Conference & Expo this November in San Diego.

Jeff Lobb, EXIT Realty Corp. International's Technology Specialist has been a REALTOR^® for over 21 years and has more than 10 years experience in the internet and technology fields both with Fortune 500^® companies and startup ventures. From a unique position of having been a real estate sales representative and EXIT Realty franchisee, Jeff travels across North America teaching EXIT Associates the skills they need to get ahead in the ever-changing world of real estate technology.

"It's an absolute honor being nominated for the 2009 REALTOR^® Technology Spotlight Award," commented Lobb. "In our changing real estate landscape, technology is a driving force in the way we communicate and the way our business is being done. I look forward to the challenges of 2010 and the new technologies that drive it."

Trecia Cooke, a real estate agent with EXIT Realty Group in Tomball, Texas, received several nominations from her colleagues who describe her as a "technology guru and more" and appreciate the "tremendous impact" she has had on the office. "I am so honored to receive this nomination," said Cooke. "I can't believe I am nominated with Jeff Lobb! He is so fantastic!"

"I am honored to work with such talented people," said Tami Bonnell, President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International. "The agents who actually increased their business during the economic downturn did so through the use of technology and by building relationships - Jeff and Trecia are experts at both."

The Center for REALTOR^® Technology Web Log describes the award as "focused at leading edge REALTORS^® and/or their support staff who make them shine in the field. Outside of recognizing these industry innovators, this award is also intended to show other members and their IT staff what others are doing, and get them thinking of creative ways to make technology work for them."

Lobb and Cooke were both finalists in the Advocate Category, described as, "The REALTOR^® and Staff members who go above and beyond their call of duty to reach out and engage people with the information and knowledge they have about technology. These are the individuals that are making changes in the industry one person at a time."
