Minneapolis Saint Paul Real Estate

The Regional Owners of Tennessee and Kentucky could do no wrong at this year’s EXIT Realty International Convention, hosted by the newly built Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.  The picturesque setting overlooking the Potomac River provided the perfect backdrop for this momentous event.

Regional Owners Jean Marie and Mike Grumbles, Jean and George Styron and Barbara and Richard Rutan walked away with three huge wins!  The first and most prestigious was the Region of the Year Award.  This designation is awarded to the EXIT Region who has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they deserve to be acknowledged for their work ethic, business savvy, successes and the relationships they hold with their Franchisees and Sales Associates.

Jean Marie Grumbles, CEO of EXIT MidSouth, said of the award, “Region of the Year is truly a testament to the caliber of our Agents, Brokers, and Owners.  It is not really about us but about them. Winning this year is even sweeter because of the tough economic conditions our country is facing. We are so pleased and proud of this honor and dedicate ourselves to even greater success.”

EXIT Realty Founder and CEO, Steve Morris, commented, “The unprecedented challenge of our economy has facilitated the ultimate arena for the full expression of character, sense of purpose, initiative, success orientation and empathy.  This environment has rendered the best of the best most evident in EXIT Realty MidSouth.  This decision was unanimous and deserving in every way.”

Not only did they come away with this honored designation but two more were soon to follow!  In a draw that was held in the Saturday morning session, Barbara Rutan’s name was drawn and was awarded a One Year Subscription to Market Leader’s Realty Generator system – a value of $18,000!!  This is something the entire region will benefit from!

Finally, at the always-anticipated President’s Ball Gala, the week came to a spectacular end for this already winning group of individuals. After hours of agonizing suspense, at the stroke of midnight, the winner of the $100,000 grand prize draw was announced. . Mike Grumbles!  Yes that’s correct, one of the Regional Owners of EXIT Realty Mid-South was awarded $100,000!

“Congratulations to the entire Region on your success and all the best in the years to come,” commented Morris.

PRESS RELEASE

EXIT Realty Nexus and ROI Auctions announce a partial inventory reduction of over 50 properties going up for auction on October 24^th.  Renee Johnson, Dennis Dorman and Mike Berglund, all REALTORS® with EXIT Realty Nexus, along with Mike Harris of ROI Auctions are the key facilitators of this event.

 Held at the Embassy Suites in Brooklyn Center with registration starting at eleven o'clock, this special auction will showcase 55 lots with bids starting at below market value.  These auction lots, which are developed building sites in their respective municipalities, are available in Brooklyn Park, Maple Lake, North Branch, and townships in the Princeton area. These lots range from city lots to acreage lots.

 "This is a tremendous opportunity for anyone looking to build either now or in the future," explained Mr. Dorman.  "Additionally, we have owner financing available for those who qualify."  In the current economic climate, lots have typically been placed on the lower rungs of the credit priority ladder and financing has been difficult to obtain.   "Owner financing along with these lots being held in a traditional way makes it so that the purchaser does not have to wait for weeks or even months to get approval, only to wait again to close as they would with short sales or bank owned properties." said Ms. Johnson.

 "Forty percent of sales in August were lender mediated sales according to the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®; in most cases, it meant a lot of waiting on the part of the buyer to secure their property of interest.  Whereas with purchasing through an auction is vastly different" added Mr. Berglund.  Auctions have become a successful option in this ever-changing real estate market.  Consumers are able to leverage auction situations to set their own pricing, reduce waiting times, and in many instances purchase a property at below market value. 

"We are really excited about presenting these properties to the public," explained Mr. Harris. "We have some properties that will be sold absolute. In other words, the property will be auctioned to the highest bidder regardless of the final bid amount.  There will be no minimum bid on the absolute sales." 

 Walk-ins are welcome; however, space is limited.  Pre-registration is recommended for everyone interested in attending. Consumers and real estate professionals can visit www.realestateauctiondeal.com for additional information and questions on registration, financial requirements, the auction process or the inventory itself.  Furthermore, this team of experts has also set up a 24 hour hotline for general information on this event, 1.800.961.6706 ext 7326 for consumers and agents to call at their convenience.

For real estate questions and information, please contact one of the following; Mike Berglund at 763-548-1424; Renee Johnson at 612.636.2807, Dennis Dorman at 612.875.0033. For auction related questions and information, please contact Mike Harris at 763.245.7058.

The green real estate movement is today’s mantra for everything from energy-efficient appliances and toxin-free building materials to all-natural cleaning supplies or water-saving products.  Everywhere we turn, marketing screams for our lives to “go green!”  Whether it’s the bag you pack your groceries in, separating recyclables before putting out the garbage or checking the tags on what you buy to ensure it’s organic, day-to-day living centers around being – or quickly becoming – eco-friendly.

With that in mind, EXIT Realty Corp. International announced today the launch of its green initiative, “teal is the new green”,  which includes training, resources and other tools to assist their agents in marketing themselves as proficient green REALTORS^®.  The centerpiece to this initiative is a new alliance with EcoBroker^® International, the world’s first and largest green designation program for real estate professionals.

EcoBroker's^® green designation training and ongoing support will provide EXIT Realty agents with the resources to be constructive green ambassadors in an ever-changing business and consumer world.  They will be able to knowledgeably assist clients in their pursuit of properties that provide affordability, comfort and a healthier environment.  EXIT-EcoBroker certified professionals will also help sellers effectively market their properties with green features. EcoBroker^® is the only designation which is taught by experts in both the green industry and the real estate industry.  With over 5,400 agents trained world-wide, they are the largest green designation program for real estate.

“We are also the only green certification program that requires our members to take four hours of additional education each year,” says John Stovall, VP Business Development for EcoBroker^® International.  “Our annual Advantage Course will keep EXIT-EcoBrokers on top of the latest information in the world of green real estate.”

EXIT-EcoBrokers will be equipped with additional energy and environmental information as well as tools to help them provide added value to all of their real estate transactions.  “This training helps our agents address the newest topics in real estate, such as green home certification programs like ENERGY STAR^{® ",} says Tami Bonnell, President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International.  “It also provides practical solutions to assist them in working through issues that may arise in any real estate transaction, such as mold, radon, or poor indoor air quality to name just a few.”
