BrokerOwner STEVE FORBES EXIT King Realty Its About The Company You Keep A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. -Lao-Tzu Our journey began when we first opened our doors on October 1st 2010. Our dream was to set ourselves apart from the rest of the real estate companies. Our main goal was to work as a husband and wife realtor team. As we moved towards working on our team another door opened and agents began to join our firm without us even planning on it. We slowly expanded as we grew. This was a blessing since we were able to grow as the office grew. We had to learn and put systems in place very quickly. Our efforts went towards making our agents successful and most of all happy to work with us. It became our passion to see others succeed and flourish in this industry. We wanted to share the secrets and knowledge of real estate with our agents. There is no better reward in this business than to see an agent grow and surpass their goals each year. By the end of 2011 we had sixty agents in our Venice office location. In mid 2012 we opened up our second office in Sarasota on Clark Road. By the end of 2013 we had over one hundred and fifty agents When we reflect back this was a major accomplishment for us. We were fortunate enough to hire staff that truly cares about our vision and the goals of all of our agents. We always wanted our offices to give the vibe of positivity and encouragement. Our agents are like family to us and we treat them as such. We do not have a strict corporate feel because we believe in the agents individual styles and personalities of selling real estate. We want others to appreciate the value of a strong team and the importance of collaboration to meet one single goal ultimate success. Our third office was opened in February 2014 in Lakewood RanchBradenton area. We currently have over 230 agents between the three office locations. Expanding to this size was something we could have never imagined when we first started the business in 2010. A lot of hard work and sweat went into building the offices and creating this agent friendly atmosphere. Life is a road that can take us in many different directions. We want to help lead you on the path that will provide you with the opportunity to do something you are passionate about each and every day and share a positive experience. We hope you can take a closer look at our office philosophy and imagine yourself as part of our growing real estate family. Thank you for the opportunity to even consider us as your partner in this industry. Sincerely Steve and Izabela Forbes BrokerOwners Three convenient locations Our Offices Venice 1800 S.

No matter what the market conditions EXIT Realty continues to improve our communitiesone donation and one house at a time. 2250000 To Habitat for Humanity Keep Current on Real Estate News with EXIT The secrets behind the EXIT formula 1. Sponsoring is a process whereby an EXIT Associate introduces a potential recruit to management. If that recruit is hired the EXIT Associate who made the introduction receives a financial bonus from EXITs head office as the new recruits transactions close. 2. Sponsoring is unlimited and can be practiced anywhere at EXIT right across the North American Continent. 3. Residual bonuses are single-level only. They are not multi-level in anyway. If John sponsors Mary and Mary sponsors Bill John receives no benefits as a result of Bill because he didnt sponsor Bill into EXIT. 4. EXITs standard commission splits are 7030 up to 100000 gross closed then 9010 for the balance of the year annually. The new recruits commissions are not influenced at all as a result of the sponsoring bonuses being paid out. 5. The sponsoring bonus is equivalent to 10 of the gross commission received by the recruiting during the time that the recruit is on a 70 split. This maximizes at 10000 each year. It then perpetually continues each year the recruit remains with EXIT. 6. Sponsoring is mentoring with a vested interest it generates perpetual financial returns and creates an incentive to pass down wisdom. The more the recruit improves the better the return to the sponsor. 7. Sponsoring can be split evenly between two people for the initial introduction thus they would receive 5 accordingly. 8. The process of taking listings and making sales has always defined real estate as a two-dimensional business. Sponsoring now adds a third dimension and a new income stream. 9. A 5000 single-side transaction generates a sponsoring bonuses of 500. This bonus is paid out to the sponsoring Associate by EXITs head office no matter what the financial status of the broker. Since EXITs head office pays all sponsoring bonuses there is no requirement for EXIT franchisee to be in a profit position previous to pay out. 10. EXIT Associates pay a transaction fee per full closed transaction side that is tiered based on the commission level. This fee is capped at 2700 per year. A portion of each transaction fee is allocated to national advertising. 11. EXITs head office allocates a portion of each transaction fee paid by the salespeople in each EXIT office to a special Secretarial Bonus Fund. This bonus fund is distributed to the support staff of that office after the end of each calendar year.
