New York, NY (Grassroots Newswire) August 27, 2010 -- One year after opening, the brokers at EXIT Realty Landmark (ERL), are pleasantly surprised by the influx of business from referrals by the EXIT International family.  ERL is the only operating franchise in Manhattan, and was ready for the dog-eat-dog world of one of the most highly competitive markets in the United States when it opened.  But the fledgling office has fielded a tremendous influx of buyer and renter relationships, seller prospects, and opportunities to team up with better agents all from the EXIT real estate referral network.

The referrals deal flow so significantly buoyed this particular EXIT office that operational adjustments needed to be made to accommodate service requests.  “This business had to be run completely differently than what I imagined when we began the operation last year,” said Daniel Cho, Director of Operations.  “I was completely surprised by the business relationships we assumed, basically overnight,” he added, referring to the buyer and renter leads that came from other EXIT franchises from across North America and from ERL’s sister office in Queens, EXIT Kingdom Realty. Daniel goes on to explain, “I was aware of the benefit of referrals but I was extremely happy to see them at these levels.”

The confidence to refer business within the EXIT network stems from a wealth of unique training that is standard throughout the franchises.  Julio Carrero, an agent formerly from another real estate franchise said, ”I had no idea that any company could care this much about training their agents. It’s a different world at EXIT... The training systems really opened my eyes and I am always looking forward to them.”

ERL takes full advantage of the resources provided by EXIT Realty by implementing thorough training to all agents.  The firm utilizes the Extreme Online University, EXIT’s Webinars and Techinars, and EXIT International-sponsored live training events. Knowing that real estate professionals within EXIT are trained with high standards assures that a referral to any EXIT location will be met with integrity and professionalism.

Lisa Blunt experienced this first hand. A referral she received shortly after joining ERL came from another state.  “An EXIT Realty office in Kentucky entrusted me with a customer, which was surprising because I’ve never been to Kentucky and I don’t know anybody from there.  It seemed completely random at first”.  However, there is nothing random about it.  ERL is simply part of an amazing network of real estate professionals. It is allowing agents from outside of New York to take on the Big Apple. Julius Valino worked with a buyer referred by an EXIT office in California and Armen Meschian found an apartment for a referral from an EXIT office in New Jersey... and the list goes on.  

Vincent Koo, Broker/Owner of ERL, states that EXIT’s Referral System is a big part of his rationale for branching out to his second agency.  “I’ve been with EXIT for 5 years now. I have never hesitated to refer a client or real estate professional to an EXIT outside of my agency.”  Vincent knew that EXIT referrals would hedge the risk of opening another real estate franchise. “By the time we opened our door there was business from other EXIT offices waiting at our doorstep!”  He goes on to explain that the quick growth of the office is also credited to EXIT’s unique sponsoring program.  He explains, “As EXIT grows across North America, so does each office’s referral network.”

Along with the excellent training, ERL is quickly learning that business referred to or from the office gets even more support by successfully using cutting-edge technology exclusive to EXIT.  Agents at ERL are thrilled and encouraged to use EXIT Promo Shop, which takes customer relationship management to new heights.  Agents choose from thousands of flyer, postcard, email and other marketing templates and send direct and virtual mail straight from the web-based database.

EXIT e-Listings further set EXIT associates apart.  ERL agents create individual marketing websites for properties, call capture banners and narrated e-tours develop business at speeds previously unheard of.  Clients are impressed by the auto-syndication of an EXIT e-listing to Facebook, Google and YouTube.

EXIT Realty Landmark jumped into Manhattan’s real estate arena armed with an amazing referral system, which is supported by impeccable training, an excellent sponsoring system and an unending vault of marketing technology.  The EXIT family truly makes this new kid on the block a force to be reckoned with.
