Minneapolis, MN (Grassroots Newswire)December 5, 2007 - EXIT Realty Minnesota Announces Appointment to Board of Directors

Carson Brooks Inducted to the Minneapolis REALTOR Board.

EXIT Realty Minnesota is proud to announce the appointment of Carson Brooks to the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS (MAAR) Board of Directors.   Mr. Brooks is Broker and owner of EXIT Lakes Realty, with offices in Wayzata and coming soon to the Calhoun area, the 15th Market Territory for EXIT in Minnesota.

"We are so proud to have Carson serve on such a dynamic Board of Directors.  MAAR is one of the most cutting edge REALTOR Boards in the nation and is constantly enhancing services to benefit the real estate professional," explains Alan Dirks, Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Minnesota.  "Carson is extremely innovative and I look forward to his tremendous contributions and positive influence with upcoming Board initiatives."

Mr. Brooks served as Chair of the Compass Academy within MAAR, a professional and leadership development program for REALTORS, now in its fourth year. Not only is he a big supporter of building professionalism and collaboration within the real estate business, but he is also involved in various community services.

Mr. Brooks, named Super Agent in 2006 in Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine, has been involved in the Community Contributions Committee at MAAR working with Habitat for Humanity, Toys for Tots and United Way programs.  He also served on the real estate advisory board for Minneapolis Community Development.  

With numerous designations such as CPIS ((Certified International Property Specialist), GRI (Graduate, REALTOR Institute) and CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), Mr. Brooks is a wealth of knowledge.  "The current market is shifting and it is really exciting to see the momentum the market is beginning to take on again.  Sales within our brokerage have increased and mortgage rates are falling again.  The mix of mortgage rates at around 5-6%, still historically low, and incredible properties on the market is a great recipe for a solid investment, whether you are first time buyer or looking to move up," said Mr. Brooks.

Mr. Brooks is part of the rapidly growing EXIT Realty System.  Founded by Steve Morris in Canada, EXIT Realty is an empathy oriented company with over 1200 offices and 42,000 agents across all 50 states and Canada.  EXIT sets itself apart with offering additional revenue streams as well as retirement and beneficiary benefits through residual income.  Since 2005, EXIT Associates in Minnesota have generated over $800,000 in residual bonuses.  EXIT provides top-drawer training, mentoring and coaching and an environment of cooperation within each office.  This arm-in-arm attitude is what allows EXIT Associates to provide the highest quality service to their client and community. EXIT Realty has donated over one million dollars to Habitat for Humanity as a result of the efforts of each associate.  For more information on EXIT Realty, please contact Mr. Carson Brooks at 952-697-5800 or online at www.exitrealtymn.com.
