Twenty-six years of traveling throughout North America consulting with real estate office owners, conducting training sessions for both managers and agents, made a few things very clear to me.  Very often, this is what I experienced.  I was hired to consult and/or provide a training session for their agents, and many times, their managers as well.  When the work was completed, it was common for the owner to invite me to a round of golf an...

It doesn’t matter where you are in your business or personal life, these three words can impact every decision you make, every door you decide to open or close, and every path you take.  When you sit back and look at these words – character, courage and confidence – you see them always fitting together almost like the three magical ingredients of your success.  If you try to separate them, you will always fall back on...

The premise of Simon Sinek’s bestseller, The Infinite Game, is to encourage leaders to adopt a strategy that will see their organization past the needs of today and far into the future.  When I read the book, I immediately recognized EXIT Realty as one such organization and jotted down my observations.

The heartbeat of a successful real estate office is its administrative professional staff.  They are the plate-spinners and the glue that holds the operation together.   When EXIT Realty’s Founder and Chairman, Steve Morris, was constructing the company’s business model, he felt so strongly about the invaluable contribution of a brokerage’s support staff, he built right into the EXIT Formula a provision to pay them an annual bonus as a special thank you.  To-date, the company has...
