EXIT Realty Supports Local Austin LiveStrong Challenge

EXIT Realty Central Texas is pleased to announce our support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation through the LiveStrong progam. EXIT Realty's contribution will help to support the LiveStrong Global Cancer Initiative that supports cancer survivorship.

In 2008 local LiveStrong participant and bicyclist Wayne Morgan, rode in the Ragbrai ride, a 475 mile ride across Iowa as part of the LiveStrong team raising money to fight cancer. Wayne’s goal is to raise $20,000 and with support from local individuals and the Austin business community, he has raised $9,863 to date. Wayne is an active real estate investor, Austin business entrepreneur and the owner of the Austin Institute of Real Estate.

"This is one way of supporting local community efforts, especially individual initiatives, to empower people affected by cancer. Our EXIT Realty associates care about our community and LiveStrong is a natural fit," remarked Dion McCormick, Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Central Texas in Austin.

60 Minutes with Steve Morris is an EXIT Central Texas Success

Best Attendance Ever!

Steve Morris, Founder and CEO of EXIT Realty Corp International entertained and educated a gathering of over 200 real estate professionals at the New Braunfels Civic Center on Thursday, October 2, 2008. The 60 Minutes with Steve Morris event was hosted by EXIT Realty Central Texas and regional owners Dion McCormick and Jack Stoker. Many of the professionals included EXIT Realty franchise broker-owners and realtors from Austin and San Antonio and surrounding areas.

Wow—60 Minutes with Steve Morris recorded the highest attendance this year with more people attending the event than in previous years! Steve Morris’ message was timely, as attendees showed signs of continued interest in the EXIT formula message despite a tough real estate market. The EXIT formula is one of the leading real estate business models in the industry with financial returns that include sponsoring residuals, retirement and beneficiary benefits.

Thanks to regional event sponsors First American Title Insurance Company, United Credit Education Services and City Bank Mortgage for their participation at the event. In addition, several franchise offices invited related industry vendors who brought materials and answered questions about their products.
Fun and festivities at the luncheon began with a delicious lunch served by Well Seasoned Catering. Dion and Jack along with Steve Morris, mc’d several prize give aways that ranged from gift certificates to iPods. The event closed with a spontaneous photo opportunity with Steve Morris and a last chance for EXIT team members to network.

Austin and San Antonio Broker/Owners - Thanks for helping to make 60 Minutes one of the best attended events ECT has hosted to date! We have received great feedback from many of the franchise offices on how positive it was to listen to Steve Morris and that his message and positive energy will continue to invigorate EXIT Realty in Central Texas for 2009.

Tami Bonnell’s Success Shatters the Glass Ceiling

The 2008 Swanepoel Trends Report listed EXIT’s U.S. President, Tami Bonnell, as “one of the most influential women in real estate with an important leadership role in the industry.”

Tami is one of the initial driving forces behind the growth of EXIT across the nation, and she’s not alone. EXIT’s Head Office boasts a predominantly female staff. Founder & CEO, Steve Morris endeavored to create a unique model that defies the age-old “glass ceiling” stigma, and it remains one of the most revolutionary systems the industry has ever witnessed.
