$50,000....could it really be that easy?

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit Realty Tri-County

Yes, that's right, $50,000.  Has anyone just handed that amount of money over to you lately?  Wouldn't 50-gthe world be a better place if everyone just passed around $50,000?  I think so, well, it would make it a little more interesting anyway.

I just attended Exit Realty Florida's 6th 50-G event in Tampa. It was my first time and I didn't know what to expect.  A complimentary breakfast..always nice and Realtors and agents from many different companies.  Vince Arcuri (#1 Realtor in the World- 2008 ERA-Team Acuri) who has recently joined forces with Exit, spoke a little regarding the current market.  He is such a nice, down to earth approachable guy.  My favorite statement he made was in talking about recession, etc..., he said "I have decided not to participate in it."  I don't know if those were the exact words, but, I thought to myself, wow, I like that.  Now, I just keep saying it over and over.  Try it...it feels good.

Now, to the good stuff, what everyone was there for.   The extremely difficult task at hand to decide who would walk out with that $50,000 check.  Those agents that had sold an EXIT 50-G listing had to guess prices of ordinary everyday Target items, no joking.  Items like a soy candle, clorox wipes and a basketball were among some of the items.  The agent closet to the right prices of the items....won!  That simple....she made some guesses, well I heard she was the mother of 5 and always shopped at Target, so she knew what she was doing.  I bet that $50,000 will come in quite handy with 5 children at home to take care of.

This event was covering South Florida, I am in Central Florida, so I will be watching and waiting for our 50-G event. 

Now, don't you want to run around town, find those 50-G listings and sell them?  It could earn you an extra $50,000 in your pocket.

Heather- Well first, Exit has skyrocketed across North
America in the last 5 years.....as for you not selling Exit listings, hmmm, don't have a clue, but, I bet you'll be looking for that 50-G sign now, and even if you're not looking for it, they will just suddenly appear.  Aswin Suri (you should recognize his name as a former Top Re/Max agent with over $60,000,000 in closed sales in 2007 & 2008) just had a grand opening of his new Exit office in Daytona last week.  That was a great event I am glad I attended also.  You never know what you might be missing if you're not opening up your possibilities.

Wow, good for the lady that won.  Sounds like she deserved it.  We don't have Exit Realty in our area, but I read a lot about them on AR.

Gary and Robert-  I am definately keeping my eye on those 50-G signs too!  Believe me, when I win....I will let everyone know.  What's really great is that it isn't always an Exit agent that wins...so other agents are excited as well.

Kathy- I will have to check out where you are....we are expanding everywhere.  A great opportunity for a broker to open there. 

Anna- It is definately a great marketing tool.  I am sure the agent with 5 kids is putting the money to good use.   Thanks for stopping by.
