Yesterday, Bill Nasby, Vice President of Personal Development for EXIT Realty Corp. International explained the premise behind his effective Performance Training.  Today, read what participants have to say.

I have attended all of EXIT's trainings and they are all great; each one has had huge benefits for not only myself but for my agents. Twelve weeks ago 12 of my agents signed up for Bill and Erica's Performance Training consisting of about an hour a week for 12 weeks. Our office production TRIPLED! We had 7 agents go out and actually knock on doors. Energy is way up and we all couldn't wait for the next Tuesday to get another hour of Performance Training. I have been talking to my office about writing goals and affirmations for years, but my fellow brokers will agree that when agents hear it from someone else suddenly they listen and listen they did. One of the big things that drew me in to EXIT Realty is that Steve, Tami and all of the trainers truly care about you personally as well as growing your business. I can truly speak for all of us who attended Performance Training when I say that Bill and Erica fix you, the person, first before they fix your business. This training had such an impact on our lives that we have now started our second 12 weeks with the Nasbys!
Cliff Hageman, Franchisee, EXIT Realty Plus, Germantown MD

We have noticed how much Performance Training with the Nasbys has helped the agents who have repeatedly taken it, their production has increased and they are getting different results in all aspects of their lives. The Nasbys will help you to develop the habit of prospecting effectively, have a follow up system that works, break free of procrastination, and change your mindset by getting rid of old patterns. I invite you to take a closer look at this training as it will change your life for the better.

Commentary by Bill Nasby, Vice President, Personal Development - EXIT Realty Corp. International.

Aside from the fact that Performance Training is ‘green' (there are no flights required to facilitate this training), and the cost is extremely affordable for the agents (less than the cost of a pizza a week), the most significant advantage with Performance Training is the retention level of the information we are teaching to our students!

I have been a platform speaker for almost 40 years and I am extremely dedicated to being effective, (getting results from my students), yet I know in my heart that by the time the students get to the parking lot 97% of what has been taught is already lost. The beauty of Performance Training is that every week for 12 weeks we ask questions, hold the agents accountable and with constant repetition the students are capturing more of the picture we are painting! It is very rewarding as a facilitator, as the majority of students are growing and their results have really begun to magnify in their production.

Recently we had a class complete the Performance Training where four people out of a class of seven are still prospecting and they have asked for more, returning for another 12 week round of classes. Roughly 80% of our clients start to prospect within the 12 week training. We have found that almost 100% of the participants boast that the training is impacting all avenues of their lives, making a difference in how they live in the world. This is ultimately why we teach this course - because it is making a huge difference in agents' lives - and it is a thrill to be a part of this type of growth where people are recognizing their potential and overcoming the challenge of change!

Tomorrow, Part II - "Our Office Production Tripled!"

On Oct. 4, 2010, in recognition of World Habitat Day, Habitat for Humanity will raise awareness of the need for improved shelter and highlight Habitat's priorities: the worldwide connection between human health and housing, and neighborhood revitalization. These themes echo the United Nations' chosen theme for 2010 for events in the host city of Shanghai, China and the rest of the world: "Better City, Better Life."

Every week, more than a million people are born in, or move to, cities in the developing world. As a result, the urban population of developing countries will double from 2 billion to 4 billion in the next 30 years. (Kissick, et al: 2006)

By the year 2030, an additional 3 billion people, about 40 percent of the world's population, will need access to housing. This translates into a demand for 96,150 new affordable units every day and 4,000 every hour. (UN-HABITAT: 2005)

Habitat for Humanity hopes that by raising awareness and advocating for universal decent housing they can dismantle and alter the systems that allow for poverty housing and make an affordable, decent place to live a reality for all.

World Habitat Day coincides with EXIT Realty Corp. International's corporately sponsored home build in Cornwall Ontario.  This weekend, staff from the corporate office along with real estate agents, brokers and members of the general public will be helping to make the dream of homeownership come true for single mom, Karen McIntosh and her two children.

A portion of every transaction fee collected by EXIT Realty Corp. International is pledged to its corporate charity, Habitat for Humanity.  To date, those pledges exeed $1.68 million.  For more information on EXIT Realty's work with Habitat for Humanity, please click here. 

A Wall Street Journal article dated September 16^th proclaimed, "Enough with the doom and gloom about homeownership" and listed 10 reasons readers should buy a home now.  However, the article also mentioned a recent Times magazine feature declaring "owning a home may no longer make economic sense."

How are today's home buyers and sellers supposed to wade through all the hype to make the right decision for their families? 

EXIT Realty Corp. International will host a free, live, public webinar designed to help consumers make smart decisions before they buy or sell a home. Local home buyers and sellers are encouraged to tune in for the discussion. 

Entitled The Real Real Estate Market, the 30-minute webinar will be hosted by real estate expert and President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International, Tami Bonnell, and will be held at two times, 4:00 pm ET and 7:00 pm ET on Tuesday October 5th. This webinar is the latest in the popular series hosted by Bonnell.  

"Educated buyers and sellers make the best decisions for their families and that's what we hope to do through this webinar series - educate," said Bonnell.  "No hype, just the facts." 

Among other topics, Bonnell will address the importance of accurate market knowledge and how to wade through the media reports to determine what's important today.

"Real estate is local," concluded Bonnell.  We'll make sure attendees know the right questions to ask their hometown real estate professionals."

 Real estate agents, brokers and staff from EXIT Realty offices as well as community volunteers will have the opportunity to particpate in a life-changing experience as they swing hammers and raise paint brushes to build a safe and protected home for a deserving Cornwall Ontario family.

EXIT Realty's corporate blitz building week kicks off on October 2nd and promises to be a heartwarming, fun and satisfying experience for everyone involved.

Groundbreaking for this Cornwall home took place on Saturday, August 20 at 711 St. Antoine Street in the city's north end. Karen McIntosh, whose family was chosen to partner in the project, was on hand to turn over the sod. She was accompanied by her daughter Meagan, as well as Habitat Chair Dick Aubry and EXIT Realty Seaway Broker, Judi Auger. EXIT Realty Corp. International has donated $100, 000 to the project.

Karen expressed her gratitude for the help and support she and her family have received from Habitat. Her son Matthew is autistic, and needs a safe and protected environment. The build will include a fenced yard. Karen has been busy completing the 250 volunteer hours that will serve as a down payment on the house. The family is hoping to move into the completed home by Christmas.

Habitat for Humanity is a worldwide initiative that envisions a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. It helps individuals and families in financially vulnerable situations build and buy quality affordable homes by reducing barriers to homeownership. These barriers are reduced by selling Habitat for Humanity homes with no down payment, no-interest mortgages, payments are set at 25% of gross income (principal and taxes) and homeowner training and support services.

Habitat for Humanity is EXIT Realty Corp International's charity of choice, and to date, it has pledged over $1.68 million to the cause and has corporately sponsored over a dozen home builds across the continent.

For more information about the work of Habitat for Humanity in Cornwall, please contact Susan Reed, Publicity Chair, 613-938-6396.
