Who would take over a real estate office in this market?  People with vision and the right system like Susan and Dan Bathurst, that's who.  

When they bought an existing EXIT Realty franchise earlier this year, Susan and Dan had a vision of the kind of real estate brokerage they wanted EXIT Realty Welcome Home to become, as Arrissia Owen Turner of BigBearGrizzly.net reports:

They found their dream in EXIT Realty. The customer-service oriented couple is revamping the offices with the help of their broker, Emily Dunn, offering what they describe as a general store-type office. "We want to present a more low-key atmosphere," Dan says.

"I had the pleasure of meeting Dan and Susan at Broker/Owner Training earlier this year," said Susan Harrison, EXIT Realty Corp. International's Senior VP Web Development. "They are a warm and focused couple dedicated to building a real estate brokerage that truly puts the needs of their customers first."

The article goes on to say:

"The market is turning," Dan says. "Things are improving. I just saw that there was a 7.5 percent increase in housing sales nationwide." And they feel they have an edge with the technology that being a part of the EXIT family affords them, like an online magazine, e-tours and recorded tours available to agents and customers. As far as attracting agents, the Canada-based company EXIT offers a beneficiary and retirement program for employees.
