Green Designation for Real Estate Agents

Searcy, AR (Grassroots Newswire) 11/11/09 -- The green real estate movement is today's mantra for everything from energy-efficient appliances and toxin-free building materials to all-natural cleaning supplies or water-saving products. Everywhere we turn, marketing screams for our lives to "go green." Whether it's the bag you pack your groceries in, separating recyclables before putting out the garbage or checking the tags on what you buy to ensure it's organic, day-to-day living centers around being - or quickly becoming - eco-friendly. With that in mind, EXIT Realty Corp. International announced today the launch of its green initiative, "Teal Is the New Green," which includes training, resources and other tools to assist their agents in marketing themselves as proficient green Realtors®. The centerpiece to this initiative is a new alliance with EcoBroker® International, the world's first and largest green designation program for real estate professionals, according to Exit Realty Corp. The company says EcoBroker's green designation training and ongoing support will provide EXIT Realty agents with the resources to be constructive green ambassadors in an ever-changing business and consumer world. They will be able to knowledgeably assist clients in their pursuit of properties that provide affordability, comfort and a healthier environment. EXIT-EcoBroker certified professionals will also help sellers effectively market their properties with green features. EcoBroker® is the only designation which is taught by experts in both the green industry and the real estate industry. With over 5,400 agents trained world-wide, they are the largest green designation program for real estate. "We are also the only green certification program that requires our members to take four hours of additional education each year," says John Stovall, VP Business Development for EcoBroker International. "Our annual Advantage Course will keep EXIT-EcoBrokers on top of the latest information in the world of green real estate." EXIT-EcoBrokers will be equipped with additional energy and environmental information as well as tools to help them provide added value to all of their real estate transactions. "This training helps our agents address the newest topics in real estate, such as green home certification programs like ENERGY STAR® ", says Tami Bonnell, President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International. "It also provides practical solutions to assist them in working through issues that may arise in any real estate transaction, such as mold, radon, or poor indoor air quality to name just a few." "Not only have our offices implemented 'green' features and processes, but now our agents serving our local communities will be trained and certified in environmental issues and procedures for buying and selling properties," states Laura Roussel, CFO/Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Arkansas & Oklahoma.

EXIT REALTY MARTIN & ASSOCIATES in Guthrie, Oklahoma, is working with The National Foundation of Transplants (NFT) in raising money to help a local Guthrie man receive a much needed liver transplant. We are sponsoring a golf tournament on October 24th, with all proceeds to go towards this need. A tournament flyer can be found on page 5 of this newsletter for information on Teams and Sponsorships. You can join EXIT Realty Martin & Associates by participating in the golf tournament, sponsoring a team or just making a donation.

What if you were living on borrowed time? Oral Semore is fighting for his life. In December, 2008, he was diagnosed with liver cancer. After undergoing 4 different types of chemotherapy, Oral was told by his doctors that he is a candidate for a liver transplant. Unfortunately, Oral's hope for a new life comes at a very high price. A liver transplant costs approximately $520,000. And that's only the beginning. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. The cost of post-transplant medications can range from $2,000 to $5,000 per month, and they are as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.

NFT is working with volunteers and supporters to help relieve the growing burden of expenses for Oral and his family. They have been assisting transplant patients with advocacy and fundraising support for 26 years. Your gift will enable NFT to provide Oral with the financial support he desperately needs. Please help by participating in the golf tournament or you can make a secure online donation by visiting www.transplants.org/donate/oralsemore. Thank you in advance, EXIT family, for your generous support. - Bo & Krista Martin

On the evening of September 3rd, 2009, a group of approximately 100 people gathered at the Quail Creek Country Club in Oklahoma City. The event was EXIT Bob Linn Real Estate's first 25-G Celebration. The highlight of the night was the special skill competition between the 35 Realtors® present who had sold one or more of the 50 eligible 25-G properties.

The participating Realtors® were shown a special slide show highlighting 10 properties that had sold and closed in the state of Oklahoma over the previous 12 months. As each picture was shown, they were given a brief description of the home and then allotted approximately one minute to write down their estimate of the selling price of the property. At the end of the slide show, their estimates were then totaled and the Realtor® coming closest to the actual total selling price of the 10 properties combined was declared the winner of the $25,000 Grand Commission Bonus Prize. A few participating Realtors® had sold more than one of the 50 properties and were given one guess for each eligible property sold. Realtor® teams who had sold eligible properties participated in the competition as a team also. Of the participating Realtors®, 25 were non-EXIT agents and 10 were agents in one of the EXIT Bob Linn Real Estate offices.

When all the estimates were totaled, the very excited winners of the $25,000 Grand Commission Bonus Prize was a team from EXIT Bob Linn Real Estate's Edmond office with only one eligible property sold - Janet Holt and Jim Lee.

According to Bob Linn, because of the possibility of a $25,000 bonus commission, Realtors® were excited to show a 25-G listing, therefore enhancing the seller's odds of having a quicker sale. The average days on the market for the 25-G listings were 35 days less than other properties, making it an easy decision for the seller to agree to the payment of an additional $500 in commission at closing. Because of the success of the first 25-G program, a second one is well under way, with over 10 properties already sold and closed.

Little Rock, Arkansas (Grassroots Newswire) August 18, 2009-- For July 2009, Team Leggett has been named Agent-of-the-Month by EXIT Realty Deaton Group of Little Rock.

"Mark and Lisa Leggett have been with EXIT Realty for only 7 months, and they have hit the ground running from day one. They followed the training, used the tools, and developed the skills necessary to be knowledgeable and professional REALTORS in a short time."

Team Leggett not only closed the highest sales volume for EXIT Realty Deaton Group for the month of July 2009, but they also closed the most transactions. Team Leggett has already qualified for the upcoming Arkansas REALTORS Association Award For Excellence with their productivity during only the first 7 months 2009.

EXIT Realty Deaton Group of Little Rock is a franchise member of EXIT Realty Arkansas. EXIT Realty originally founded in Canada has enjoyed rapid growth throughout North America. This growth is based largely on the strength of its recruiting and retirement benefits. The EXIT Formula provides sales associates a chance to earn a combination of residual income over and above their own transactions and a possibly enhanced retirement and beneficiary benefit; all of which have been unheard of in the Real Estate Industry until now.

EXIT Realty Deaton Group is located at 11300 Financial Centre Parkway, Suite 910, Little Rock, AR 72211. For more information, please call 501-221-3948 or visit www.WeAreExit.com.
