This past winter was brutal to most of all of us but one thing is for sure. That is nothings for sure and the thing we can count on is that we still have our continued education to fall back on. Some of us are college graduates some are not but the point is that we still need to get up every morning put on our happy faces and tell our selfs today is the day we are going to get that sale.

Now is the time to get back at it with a passion to get the things you want to get accomplished this year. Stay the course and finish the job. It is further to turn back then it is to finish what it is that you have set out to do. Like the old saying goes when the going gets tough, then the tough get going. There is no door that is not worthy, there is no telephone number that deserves to not hear from you, Keep at it, things will agian blossom and our checks will flow.

EXIT Realty, have you planned your EXIT strategy? May, I hear from you?

The most incredible tool that I use now in the real estate business is the Swanepoel Trends Report which comes out every year describing obviously the newest trends in the residential real estate industry. It is clear that the real winners in the industry are on this list. It clarifies who's who in the industry and why.

Certainly there are a lot of good things shaping the industry from year to year and also some that are not so good. It is a testament to say that the Active Rain Social network is on the top ten list of newest trends that are shaping the industry and for good reason. It is actually listed as the 5th newest trend for this year from its inception in June 2006 it has brought on 60,000 members and it is still growing.

It states, "Active Rain assumed the mantel as the #1 real estate social network boasting 60,000 members by 2007". Incredible! Not only is this a free enrollment but it also is a great place to introduce yourself and refer clients to and from. This is a phenomenal tool for real estate professionals across the board and it pleases me to thank those of you who introduced me to this site.

As some of you may know, I am with EXIT realty and it also made the list for the second straight year coming in at #9 Keep up the great work people the market is going to hit big again. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Who-Rah!

This business is a simple business. It is really in a nut shell, Get out and see the people, the more people you see the more you will learn, the more that you learn the more that you will earn. Simple right!

I was brought up in a farming background that included a lot of manual work and the question would always come up what can you get done today. Well I always came up with the conclusion that if I under promised what I would get done then over deliver on what I got done then I would receive great praise for exceeding expectations.

This same tactic applies in real estate sales. When I am with a client to purchase a property or a seller to sell a property I do not promise anything but I in return, over deliver to those client's and by the end of the transaction everyone walks out satisfied.

Of course, the situation dictates all, and with that said you sometimes have to go outside of your normal protocol to get something done or listed. One should not be concerned by this and that by doing this you are actually bringing the most and best out of yourself.

So remember to under promise and over deliver, but don't hesitate to step outside of the box to get something done. By bringing the most and best out of yourself it ultimately helps the client out much more then not.

For years the real estate industry has relied upon the backs of its agents to produce the income that made it affordable for the brokerage house to operate. Century 21 built itself on a national model in the 70's and Re/Max did the same for the 80's. These company's had taken itself and reshaped the industry respectively during those time frames.

The time has changed now. There is only one company that has put education of its agents at the for front of its system and made it like a college community unlike high school and or grade school. EXIT realty offers the most dynamic of schooling classes as well as the coaching and training that most of us need.

For one, I need a health competitive challenge in my office. I know that if we me and my counter part is educated the same as me and we are competing on the same level then I know I am going to have to outwit my counter part to get the job.

With Exit Realty, the coaches and the mentors can give you the motivation that you need to outwit your counterpart inside your firm. Join EXIT and you will see the difference immediately. Let them know Richard L. Price helped you.

This posting is in regards to buy/sell agreements that are also known as a partnership agreement that in the event that a partnership fails or a death to one of the party's interest. This agreement is to answer the question as to what is going to happen if one of the partner disolves his/her interest.

The biggest mistake someone can do in business is get involved with an associate without an agreement. The point is that when you get into a agreement with a partner you are in essence involving yourself in a marriage. And every marrage should be done with a pre-nuptial. Same goes for business associates, there needs to be an agreement in the event that there is a dispute that disolves the company.

Nobody wants to think of a business relationship failing at start up, but it happens. A simple agreement would be something about how assets are to be divided up at parting. Corporations are very important in that when created that the paid in capital is equal because if it isn't then the company books are out of order. This strains the shareholders and there in lies a problem.

My advice from prior dealings, Have a buy/sell agreement! 

Over the last three years, EXIT Realty Corp. International has donated a total of $875,000, provided hundreds of man-hours and masses of volunteers to Habitat for Humanity (HFH) efforts.

During his address to over 2,000 EXIT associates at the 8th international Convention, Founder and CEO, Steve Morris explained what he saw as a natural charity of choice for his growing Corporation.

"I wanted to select a charity that was close to real estate, that effected people," he said. " I wanted to change the sprit of real estate, and try to put the feeling-factor back into the industry because we lost it somewhere along the way."

"We have completed three homes and currently have four under construction," said Cindy Szinegh, VP of Corporate Services. "There will be three more build announcements in the coming months, bringing our total number of builds to 10 homes! Eventually we will have EXIT Habitat homes built in every region and then... we'll do it all again."

Since 2000, more than $125 million in residual bonuses have been paid to agents by EXIT Realty Corp. An amazing $66 million was paid in 2006 alone. With the incredible success and growth of EXIT, the company recognized that these residual payments to agents could be handled much more efficient if the transactions take place electronically.

EXIT sales associates now receive this bonus money on their EXIT Success Card, which is similar to that of your debit card that you have received from your financial institution. This efficient method cuts the use of paper and mailing out of the equation and puts the funds in the hands  of the agents faster.

The secret of EXIT Realty system is really no secret at all. The company's founder recognized that in order to grow the business internationally, the agent had to have an incentive to introduce other agents to the company.
