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 eight years ago. The local region, EXiT Mid-Atlantic (DE, DC, & MD) took home the Regional Tri-Real-A-Thon award, EXiT Realty Corp. International’s highest honor.
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 four 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.”
“Stefan is always right on track with his analysis of the industry and we are delighted to be recognized,” says Tami Bonnell, President of EXIT Realty. “We have paid out over $125 million in single-level residuals and are revolutionizing the real estate business,” she added.
According to Rick McDaniel, President of the EXiT Mid-Atlantic region, over $7,000,000 has been paid out locally.
