EXiT Land and Home Realty Agent Inspired.... No turning back

As I attended the EXiT Realty International Corporate Convention.........

held in Dallas, I feel as though I should be writing new goals for myself... I was reading one of my descriptions and I found that I just have to change a couple of numbers and I'll be there! Very simple, right? Lets hope so. With the knowledge of the speakers at EXiT Convention, it seems as though it should be. Let's start off with Joe Stumpf, Founder of By Referral Only and then move to Verl Workman, (what an incredible speaker...WOW!) the writer of The Energy Bus, Jon Gordon, and Dr. Daniel Amen (amazing knowledge). This doesn't even include the other 9 speakers during the convention. An amazing group of people, with an incredible wealth of knowledge! So my numbers will now change, and knowing that there is a very big challenge ahead, I am overflowing with excitement!

Here is my old description:

"I have grown up in the sales world. From my mother taking me to weekend sales and counting change to my fathers retail store. I have always enjoyed working with the public and now I am entering into my real estate career full time. With my experience in customer service and energy to get things done, I am very excited to get into sales once again. My goals will be to be a top agent in the next 3-5 years."

Now let me show you my new description:

"I have grown up in the sales world. From my mother taking me to weekend sales and counting change to my fathers retail store. I have always enjoyed working with the public and now I am entering into my real estate career full time. With my experience in customer service and energy to get things done, I am very excited to get into sales once again. With the wealth of knowledge gained by being part of EXiT Realty Corp. International - My goals will be to be a top producing agent in the next 3 years."

Thank you EXiT for inspiring me to be a better agent! Watch out Southeast Iowa EXiT Land and Home Realty is on the move.....

Why Do we specialize in Rural Acreages?

There is a long time need for SE Iowa to create a real estate company to assist buyers and sellers that are located in the rural settings. Most offices are focussing on properties within the small towns, which has led to rural acreages being left out of the spot lights. We have found that having a central location for all of the SE Iowa acreages is very beneficial. Both buyers and sellers alike are able to locate us online at www.exitlandandhome.com. Our base office is located in Mount Pleasant. Exit Land and Home Realty, LLC is dedicated in making your real estate transaction as easy as possible. With our company dedicated to team work, our technology marketing strategy, and customer satisfaction, we are excited to help you in anyway possible. If you are looking to buy, sell or have any other questions about the real estate market, please feel free to give us a call at 319.385.3833.
