Since 2004, EXIT Realty Corp. International has been the proud Corporate Sponsor of ten home builds for Habitat for Humanity. One of the most recent is concluding in Fredericton, New Brunswick and EXIT Realty's Habitat for Humanity liaison, Christine Ireborg, visited the building site.
"EXIT Realty couldn't be a prouder sponsor of Habitat for Humanity," Ireborg said. "We wanted to identify with an organization that shares our values and philosophies; an organization based on giving back, transforming lives by providing new homes and a higher standard of living to individuals in the local communities."
During her visit, Ireborg interviewed Deanne Boudreau, the proud recipient of this home. "We'll be moving in with our four children. It was like winning the lottery," Boudreau exclaimed. "Our family is finally going to have a home. The first thing my daughter said was, 'We never have to move again, do we?' I told her, no this is permanent. We actually have a place for a dining room table! I just want to say that it's changed our lives - it's changed our kids' lives. I need to thank EXIT Realty - thank you for everything you've done."
The Boudreaus, like every Habitat recipient family, are rigorously screened and are required to spend many hours in "sweat equity" on their own home and the homes of others. Habitat's philosophy is "a hand up, not a hand out."
EXIT Realty associates from far and wide took part in the build. EXIT Realty Advantage Franchisee, Philip Duplisea, had this to say: "We're fortunate this year to get involved with the Habitat build. It has been really exciting - the house is going up very quickly. We've had lots of good help from the community and from the EXIT agents. It's been a great team-building experience for us here at EXIT; planning, getting things organized, seeing everyone chip in and come with their hammers and steel-toed sneakers. We've accomplished a lot."
The dedication of this home is scheduled for December 15th at 4:00 p.m.

Brook Stockberger, the Business Editor of the Las Cruces NM Sun-News reported on EXIT Realty's involvement in a Habitat for Humanity home being built for a deserving family in Dona Ana County. EXIT Realty New Mexico Regional Owner, Chuck Olson, one of the key participants in the build, had this to say:
"One of the reasons we wanted to be affiliated with EXIT is because of its Habitat participation. Our corporation made this a goal, that we would always be participating in Habitat. In fact, a piece of every one of our transactions is dedicated to Habitat. It's a perpetual thing."

Pierre Kennel, a real estate rookie with EXIT Exceptional Realty in Austin, TX went home $100,000 richer after winning the Grand Prize at the Gala President's Ball finale to EXIT Realty Corp. International's 10th Annual Convention held recently at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN. In a letter to EXIT Realty Founder and CEO, Steve Morris, Kennel describes his belief in the creative visualization that brought his good fortune to fruition. Here's an excerpt from that letter:
"One year ago I was jobless; I had no idea why the bad things in my life were happening. I was focusing all of my energy on the negative things in my life, thus creating more of them. I am blessed with a mother who never gave up on me, always saw the good, and believed I had, in her words "tremendous potential". She recommended I go to school and get my real estate license and as soon as I started classes I knew this was what I needed to be doing. I was passionate for the opportunity to help other people, which is what this business is at the core.
"The Law of Attraction is a very powerful and very real thing. Across from my desk was one of the banners promoting the '08 Convention. At the bottom it said, "$100,000 drawing". I sat at my desk every day and visualized winning the money. I included every detail I could think of from what I thought the experience would include. Each morning I got up and the first thing I did was write affirmations. It is amazing the joy it has brought into my life.
"I took a very clear picture of what was painted in my mind to the Convention, and although very excited to hear my name called, I was not surprised because I had already won in my mind. This experience has opened new doors to the possibility of this power tool. I believed in it before, but Saturday took it to an entirely new level.
"Steve, I want to thank you so much for the $100,000. I have been truly touched and have shared this experience and the factors that made it possible with everyone I have come in contact with."
