Kim
Jones of EXIT Generations Realty Named 2008 MAR Rookie of the Year!
Kim
Jones, EXiT REALTOR® with EXiT Generations Realty and member of
the Real Estate Million Dollar Association (REMDA), was chosen as the
Maryland Association of REALTORS’® Rookie of the Year on Tuesday,
September 9, 2008.
Rookie of the Year is awarded to a REALTOR® who has been in the
business for no more than 4 years and is based upon the following criteria:
Community Service, Charitable and Civic Activity (10%), Attendance at
MAR Rookie REALTOR® Seminars (10%), Productivity (20%), Education
(25%), Participation in Local Board/Association, State (MAR), National
(NAR) Activities (35%).
According to Kim, education is of utmost importance to any REALTOR®,
but it is crucial for a newer agent. “How would I have known anything
about real estate if it weren’t for FAStTRAC? Having passed my
state's REALTOR'® licensing exam in no way prepared me to actually
practice Real Estate. For experienced REALTORS®, FAStTRAC provides
a revitalization and refreshment to your perspective, enabling you to
go forward with increased vigor, not to mention the Specialty Workshops
and Coaching that is available to take our businesses to the next level.”
Kim has over 70 hours of Continuing Education (CE) under her belt and
at least 9 designations: Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Graduate
REALTOR® Institute (GRI), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES),
Accredited Staging Professional (ASP), Workforce Housing Certified (WHC),
At Home with Diversity, One America, is an Employer Assisted Housing
Program Representative, Credit Smart Trainer and a Live Baltimore Preferred
REALTOR®. In addition, she has also participated in the MAR Rookie
REALTOR® Society and the Education Committee of the Greater Baltimore
Board of REALTORS®.
“The only way I felt I could be a benefit to my clients, as a
newer REALTOR®, was to get all the education that I could,”
said Kim.
She has charitably served Junior Achievement, the American Cancer Society,
and is a frequent volunteer in her local church, Greater Grace World
Outreach and her children’s school, Greater Grace Christian Academy.
By the end of the year, Kim will have completed her Certified Residential
Specialist (CRS) designation and her next step will be to obtain her
Associate Broker’s License.
“I am fortunate to have my big brother, Bob Gauger of EXiT First
in Waldorf, MD, as my mentor, from whom I glean all the wisdom possible.
Learning from the experience of seasoned veterans of this industry is
invaluable and then it becomes our responsibility to pay it forward
and share what we have learned with others.
Kim’s advice to all her fellow REALTORS® is to, “keep
an open mind about learning new things and to never think we know it
all, no matter how long we have been in the business. Above all, treat
and care for others as you would like to be cared for.”
EXIT Realty is taking home all the awards! Leon Bailey of EXIT PowerHouse
was also honored as Rookie of the Year 2008 for Prince Georges County,
Maryland.

Only
the Tough & Willing Thrive!
By Roberta Ross from Prospects
Plus!
www.prospectsplus.com
Tough times call for tough measures, thicker skin, smarter strategies,
finite focus and the ability to embrace adversities. I am reminded of
philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s words, “That which does
not kill us makes us stronger.” Well, friends, since it’s
not our time to go, let's seek the strength to not merely survive, but
thrive in any market.
1. Turn challenges into opportunities.
I invite you to see today’s market changes for the tremendous
opportunities they present. Challenges are great conduits for change.
They force us to examine what we are doing and take our professionalism,
focus and efficiency to the next level. Look to the agents who have
successfully navigated tough markets and real adversity in their careers,
and you’ll discover that many of them made more money, captured
more market share and developed some of their sharpest skills as sales
people and negotiators during down economic times.
2. Put systems in place.
Truthfully, only those willing to systemize, streamline and strategically
implement a marketing plan for both the short term and long term will
thrive in this business today. It’s not enough to just “survive”
anymore or “wait out the market.” Savvy agents seek the
automatic solutions which will ensure their prospecting and follow up
is done for them, whether they are on an appointment, at the office
or home with family.
Dig deep, get creative and get busy! It’s the perfect time to
cultivate success. I’m happy to help. I offer workshops for thirty
minutes up to three hours, chock full of the strategies, tools, techniques
and solutions top producers implement daily. If you or your colleagues
are ready to THRIVE in today’s market, give me a call. Helping
sales professionals realize their goals is my passion!

A Triumphant Grand Opening for EXiT One
by
Trisha Limgenco, VP of Marketing, EXiT One Realty
EXiT One
Realty is proud to announce a successful Grand Opening on Thursday,
June 19th, 2008. It was an incredible honor having the EXiT Mid-Atlantic
Owners, Don Kane and Rick and Carol McDaniel present in the celebration
of the new location. And we also extend our gratitude to friends, family
and colleagues who supported us in the significant event.
Jeanette Ty, the Broker/Owner of EXiT One Realty has been in the business
for over 15 years! Her superior service, personal attention to details,
and dedication has placed her in the top 5% of agents nationwide. In
addition, 90% of her business comes from referrals!
“There is no question that it is a privilege to be part of EXiT
Realty. It is a privilege to be part of a company that has changed so
many lives, a company who has been committed to each client’s
wants and needs, a company that prides in innovation and to being a
leader within this industry” declares VP Sales/Owner, Eugene Sun.

S.M.A.R.T
Training Sticks with EXiT Agents
News from Craig Strobel, EXiT Preferred
Realty
EXiT Preferred Realty, located in Bel Air, MD, gives an update on agents
attending the program held in March & April of 2008.
Cherie McConnaughy, a S.M.A.R.T program graduate and All Star Award
winner for Exceptional Productivity, has been on fire since she completed
her training. She has five settlements scheduled for July, which is
more business than she did in all of 2007. She also has 2 active listings
and had 1 other settlement since finishing the class.
Irina Trasatti has closed 2 deals, she has two pending settlements,
and 3 active listings, since taking the training. The 4 deals are more
than she did in all of 2007.
Jim Karrenbauer, the awesome A-Team leader has closed three deals, is
working with several buyers, and has an active listing.
All three individuals credit Floyd Wickman for helping them to the next
level. Additionally, the three agents help each other keeping with the
Floyd Wickman way.
Our office highly recommends this course to agents if they have the
opportunity to take it. Managers, brokers and owners: you must help
your agents to attend the Floyd Wickman training so they can take your
office to the next level. My only regret is that our office didn’t
have more agents in attendance!
Sincerely,
Craig Strobel, Owner of EXiT Preferred Realty
It’s
a Boy!
EXiT Mid-Atlantic would like to congratulate Koy & Monique Banks,

Recruiting
Corner
Recruit One… Get Three
Bob McKinnon
You have heard me teach many times when I am discussing recruiting experienced
agents, the idea of “recruit one…get three” technique.
The premise is that when an experienced agent decides to leave their
current office and join EXIT there is a one time only window of opportunity
created for two reasons.
First, at this point the agent is usually pretty excited and positive
about their new opportunity.
Second, as the news gets out dozens of other agents are going to ask
what’s up and why.
So the moment the agents say, “OK I’m in”, the sponsor
should say, “Welcome aboard, now turn around and look back at
your office and think of at least two others you can introduce to me
and bring with you. Wouldn’t it be great to begin your residual
income immediately? Let me help you.”
At this point agents do not have a clue how to explain EXIT so let’s
coach them as to what to say when people ask about their decision. What
if you had a script to help them answer upcoming questions?
So Joe, to help you get your retirement started, in the next few weeks
when people ask you about your decision, say something like this…
“I am intrigued by this EXIT thing. They have offered me training,
support, plus opportunities for my future that I have never been exposed
to before. In fact, I believe EXIT is adding things that will change
real estate for all of us.”
“I would like to introduce you to my new broker and you can see
what I am talking about first hand, what do you think?”
Practice this a few times with them; give it to them on a 3x5 card so
they can keep it in their pocket or purse. Help them be prepared for
the inevitable question and I believe they will have a better chance
to bring someone with them. What do you think?

Home Inspections Help Speed
Sales
Courtesy of Pillar to Post
By Frank Nelson, Special to The LA
Times , August 26, 2007
It took Judy Mello, a retired registered nurse, a total of only 3 1/2
weeks to buy a $500,000 condominium in Carpinteria, a small coastal
town a few miles south of Santa Barbara.
Although a number of factors smoothed the process, Mello says an inspection
report commissioned in advance by the sellers played a large part in
her decision to buy and helped speed the sale.
One tactic increasingly bringing buyers and sellers closer together
is a property inspection obtained by the seller before the home is even
listed. A seller's inspection report is not in lieu of one commissioned
by the buyer, but it often accomplishes the goal of signaling openness
and good faith while at the same time unearthing any unpleasant surprises.
A pre-listing inspection gives buyers a better idea of where they stand
and what, if any, additional work is needed; this can also help sellers
fend off demands for unrealistic price reductions to cover repairs.
According to Dan Steward, president of Pillar to Post, a nationwide
home inspection company, buyers typically expect a $2 to $3 price discount
for every $1 worth of defects turned up by their inspector.
With their own report, sellers can choose, for example, to spend a few
hundred dollars fixing a plumbing problem that might otherwise mushroom
into a claim for more than $1,000 off the price and, in the process,
spark further potentially prickly negotiations.
“Most people want to turn the key and walk in,” he says.
“They don't want repairs, and they certainly don't want surprises.
If they know they have to do some work, they can at least prepare for
that.”

Thousands came from all over the County to celebrate Oktoberfest with
a fun-filled day of live music and performances, delicious food, kids’

Realty Chesapeake Bay Celebrates 5th Annual Staff Retreat
Over 20
EXiT Realty Chesapeake Bay Brokers and Agents gathered at Camp Tockwogh
located in Kent County, MD for their 5th annual staff retreat to focus
on long term real estate goals for 2008.
This was the second straight year to hold the meeting at Camp Tockwogh
on the Chesapeake Bay, held on October 10,2007.
"All things are possible if you are willing to get out of your
comfort zone and do things others will not do," says Rich Cotton,
Broker/Owner, who kicked off the morning session using clips from the
film, "The Pursuit of Happyness" to instill the message.
The agents then broke into groups to discuss their 2007 successes and
what may aid in achieving their goals for 2008.
The morning concluded with each agent creating their Vision Board, which
will help keep them focused on their long term goals.
The High Ropes course followed a camp-style lunch. The ropes course
allowed the agents the opportunity to overcome some of their personal
fears. The Zip Line was the last component of the high ropes course
which truly provided a fast EXiT.
