A Realtor who recently joined our office was advising her former broker of the change and he asked, "What's so special about EXIT, anyway? Why are so many people going to EXIT?"
The flyer below outlines some of the reasons, but during our open house networking & training event this Thursday evening, December 4th, we will answer the question, "What's so special about Exit, anyway?" We will discuss:
This week's sponsor is Chris Magliochetti with David Weekly Homes, Eagle Springs - Princeton Park and The Priority Home Mortgage team. Chris will discuss their Advanced Green Patio Home in the gated section of Eagle Springs. They will provide a great dinner.
The event will be held this Thursday evening, December 4th from 5:30 to 7 pm in our training facility at 3824 Atascocita Rd, Suite 128. Food and beverages will be served.
This event is open to agents who are with Exit Realty or with other brokerages , so please feel free to come even if you aren't an Exit Associate, and bring a friend! Please call us at 281-548-EXIT (3948) if you have questions, and we look forward to seeing you Thursday.

EXIT REALTY IS THE #1 NEW NATIONAL FRANCHISE BRAND: According to the 2007 edition of the Swanepoel Trends Report, EXIT Realty is ranked as the leading New National Real Estate Franchise brand, ahead of Help-U-Sell, Weichert Realtors, Sotheby's Real Estate and Avalar.
Founded in 1996 in Ontario, Canada by Steve Morris, EXIT Realty entered the USA only six years ago. Today with over 1,200 franchisees and 45,000 agents, EXIT has become one of the 10 largest real estate companies in Northern America.
Widely accepted as the leading publication on change and trends in the real estate industry, the 159-page Swanepoel Trends Report for 2007 provides a thorough examination of the top 10 trends shaping the industry, its participants and the way houses are bought and sold. According to the Report more than 55% of all real estate transactions are done through a real estate company affiliated with one of the 20 national real estate franchises.
Franchising was introduced to the real estate industry three decades ago and since that time it has surged ahead as the most successful business model of all time, states the Report. Furthermore, Swanepoel noted that "similar to the way RE/MAX reshaped real estate brokerage in the 70s and 80s, it appears that EXIT is ordained to re-engineer the real estate broker/agent relationship during the first decade or two of the 21st century."
What EXIT Realty NE Houston offers to Houston area agents:

Check out this website: http://www.ofheo.gov/ and this report: 4Q 2007 House Price Index Report This is produced by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, a HUD entity.
The report is long, so skip to page 25. This shows the price appreciation ranked by state last year. Texas is #10! Above it are destinations such as as Wyoming, North Dakota, and Alaska. Texas is the first "big" state on the list (no offense to Wyoming, ND, or Alaska!) And California? 51st at negative 6.65%, Florida 49th at -4.69. (No offense to CA or FL, either...)
Also look at the 5 year appreciation and appreciation since 1980. Texas is severely undervalued! In the last 5 years, Texas has appreciated 25%. PA appreciated 48%, IL at 36%, DC at 88%, NY at 51%, and the national average is 41%. Texas has 16% to make up compared to the national average and even more to make up on comparable states.
Now look at the map on page 27. Texas is the only "big" state on the map with the top appreciation price range, between 5 - 9%.
Now go to page 32, which is city-by-city appreciation. Houston is ranked #44 out of 291 ranked cities, at 4.79% appreciation in the last year. San Antonio is #11, Dallas #97, Austin #11. Los Angeles is #244 at -3.23%, Miami is #186 at .27%, New York City #169 at .85%, Chicago #152 at 1.62%, DC area is #237 at -2.87%.
Going into Spring, potential buyers need to know that our local market is undervalued and has strong resale value over the next year, 5 years, or 20 years! In my opinion, we need to let potential sellers know that they should not fear listing their home. Look at this pricing tool: http://www.ofheo.gov/calculator/ Pretty neat. Try it on your home - I was pleasantly surprised. Were you? So should be prospective sellers.
If I were considering buying a home, looking at the statistics and what HUD is telling me, I wouldn't be apprehensive about my return on investment in the Houston area. And if I were considering selling, I wouldn't be feeling the need to drop my pants, er, price, too much to sell my home. Houston Texas buyers have reason to buy & sellers have reason to be confident in selling their home at a fair price.
The nation is in a housing crisis & the national media would like to focus on that, but this Houston, Texas housing market is stable, as is the Houston economy.

I am a tireless researcher, and whether you are buying or selling, we will be well informed on trends in the market and will help you capitalize on those trends. Negotiation is a key component of any major sale or purchase. Real Estate is the largest & most important purchase most people will ever make, and negotiation is our greatest strength.

Thank you for your time & consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,

P.S. If you are a Realtor considering joining our firm, my approach is the same. My specialty is understanding your goals and then helping you achieve them. If we can't help you achieve your goals, I will tell you. If we can, I will promise to honor them, and you will hold me accountable for that promise. Please call me to set up a meeting to discuss your goals, and how our brokerage can help you achieve them.
The owners of Exit Realty NE Houston and Texas Proud Realty - Keith Hebert, Al Hebert, Dana Snyder, and Ken Snyder - work as a team. Below are some testimonials about our team:
When me and my husband were looking for our first home, the home that we
would start our life as a married couple and hopefully make a family in, we
knew that we had to go with Keith Hebert as our relator. The personalized
way he treated our case made us feel like we weren't just another paycheck
to him. He put up with my pickiness, something that can even get trying to
my husband, and was never too tired or too busy to talk to me about
different homes. Al Hebert was never too busy to show us a home, even if it
was 10 of them a day, and during rush hour traffic! When we did think we
found "the one," Keith even took our calls on Thanksgiving day, and made
arrangements for us to view the home the ver next morning! I don't know of
too many relators that treat you with such great personalized treatment, as
if your home is as important to him as it is to you. If you are looking for
someone to give you great service, personalized care, and treat one of the
most important purchases in your life like it were his own, you have to go
with Keith and Al Hebert with Texas Proud Realty. They definetely are the
Best!!!
-Autumn and Chase Lydick
I cannot speak highly enough of our realtor, Keith Hebert. He is a wonderful person, trained professional, and terrific to work with. We were new to this part of Texas and Keith provided excellent advice and insight about the Houston area (like commute and drainage considerations). He was extremely patient with our questions and always quick to return our phone calls.
We had a lengthy list of features we wanted and Keith helped us locate the perfect home that met all of our needs and still stay within our price range. His market knowledge, experience, and insight were instrumental in helping us through the buying process when issues arose with our seller at the last minute. He stayed on top of the situation and went above and beyond to take the stress out of our buying experience. Keith is a fantastic realtor and a delight to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Dawn & Steve Rodgers
Terry Ryder Keith: I just wanted to send you a big THANK YOU. I had my property tax hearing yesterday, 8/31/04. And I must thank you for the comparables report and information that you provided me. I was able to make my point, in large part, due to the resale value information that you provided me. HCAD had the information, but they were not forthcoming with it and tried to find some excuse to discount the value of the information. The hearing was a success. The board gave me what I asked for!!! I would not have been able to make my case without the information that you supplied. So, again, THANKS. I will definitely keep you in mind for any of my real estate needs and be sure to pass on your name to others, whenever I get the chance. Have a great day. Terry Ryder Tax AnalystTommy Epps
Now that the process is nearly 100% complete, I can say with assurance, that I have received service well in excess of costs. Keith Hebert was tolerant when my wife and I could not decide what we actually wanted in a home. He was patient when we ambled through over one dozen homes in a five mile radius. Not once did I feel pressured to make a decision I was not ready to assume. It was a good experience in home buying. Tommy Epps Director of Marketing/Business Developemnt WHC Inc. (Houston Office)
Jill A Kitzmiller, M.M.
Keith Hebert is a vivacious, happy, hard working man with a loving family and a great sense of community pride. He can help you make any situation better, and always looks to the positive side of any situation, and sees positive attributes in all he meets. He is "Texas Proud" and will be there for your real estate needs and many other business adventures. I have taught his girls Ashley and Anne piano for 1 ? years and have enjoyed his family immensely. Consider calling Keith?you will not be disappointed.
