Realty Executives International Expands Midwest Region

RISMEDIA, April 13, 2007- Because of the extensive growth and success of the company's Mid-America Region, which is based in metropolitan Kansas City, Realty Executives International chose to unite the Colorado franchises with the other Mid-America Region's states, creating one of the international company's largest regions.

Led by Steve and Nancy Summers, the development opportunity for the state of Colorado also includes the states of Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.

"This region has seen tremendous growth in the past few years, and we are confident that Colorado will greatly benefit from our Midwest expansion," said Steve Summers, regional director and Leawood, Kansas resident. "With strong brand recognition in this part of the country, incredible customer service standards and revolutionary agent benefits, we know the Colorado Realty Executives offices will generate another development opportunity for our region."

Under this new leadership, Summers intends to provide the Realty Executives offices in Colorado a regional Web site-complete with property search capabilities, introduce powerful agent marketing tools, and provide access to professional advertising and leadership training.

"The real estate market in Colorado will recognize a real change in our operations. We expect to significantly improve customer and agent services in the state, which in turn will help draw quality professionals to our organization."

Realty Executives of Colorado currently maintains offices in Metropolitan Denver as well as Aurora, Cortez, Durango, Fort Collins and Grand Junction.

Other areas of the Mid-America Region have experienced exponential growth during the past several years. The company expects the same for Colorado now that the region has improved the operating structure and agent services.

"I'm excited to be a part of such a stable and successful region and look forward to the support we will receive from the new regional development team," said Lloyd Brownlee, broker/owner of Realty Executives Mile Hi in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Realty Executives Mid-America Region operates 44 offices with more than 1,300 sales associates. The company closed more than 15,000 transactions worth more than $2.5 billion in sales in 2006.
