Joe & Cathy Balcar of EXIT Generations Realty Deemed Top Professionals
A letter from Gloria J. Freed, Re/Max Exclusive
Good Morning,
Before I started my day, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about a transaction, settlement, that was completed yesterday, between myself, and my company, and Joe and Cathy Balcar of EXiT Generations.
It was a very difficult transaction, and without the assistance of Joe and Cathy Balcar, it would never have gotten to the table.
The transaction started some time in June of 2008 and even though it was not a large settlement, it was a difficult settlement. The months leading up to yesterday, to say the least, were filled with trepidation, concern and problems, at times insurmountable problems. Not being able to secure financing, closing dates not being met, and the sellers and buyers having some history were getting in the way. I dealt mainly with Joe Balcar, and he showed the highest levels of professionalism.
The three of us worked it out and hopefully the seller and the buyer are happy today. I know we are.If awards were given out for excellence in a single transaction, these two hard working, top professionals should be given one.
Your Company is very fortunate to have them on your team.
Sincerely,
Gloria J. Freed

The local region, EXiT Mid-Atlantic (DE, DC, & MD), plans to grow to over 100 offices in the next several years. They took home the Regional Tri-Real-A-Thon award, EXiT Realty Corp. International’s highest honor.
Widely accepted as the leading publication on change and trends in the real estate industry, the 159-page Swanepoel Trends Report provides a thorough examination of the top 10 trends shaping the industry, its participants and the way houses are bought and sold. According to the Report,, more than 55% of all real estate transactions are done through a real estate company affiliated with one of the 20 national real estate franchises.
Franchising was introduced to the real estate industry four decades ago, and since that time, it has surged ahead as the most successful business model of all time, states the Report.
Furthermore, Swanepoel noted that “similar to the way RE/MAX reshaped real estate brokerage in the 70s and 80s, it appears that EXIT is ordained to re-engineer the real estate broker/agent relationship during the first decade or two of the 21st century.”
“Stefan is always right on track with his analysis of the industry and we are delighted to be recognized,” says Tami Bonnell, President of EXIT Realty. “We have paid out over $125 million in single-level residuals and are revolutionizing the real estate business,” she added.According to Rick McDaniel, President of the EXiT Mid-Atlantic region, over $7,700,000 has been paid out locally.

The EXIT Formula
The EXIT Formula Pays Bonuses in 3 Ways:
10% Sponsoring Bonus
As an example, a $70,000 producer would generate a $7,000 bonus to the sponsoring agent. If this continued over 20 years at the same rate, then this associate would receive $140,000 in bonuses!All of this has been approved through all the governing bodies at the state level, right across the country. These bonuses are not based on individual brokerage profitability. As soon as the deal closes, the sponsor receives the bonus, usually within 72 hours, from EXIT Realty Corp. International, the franchisor.*
7% Retirement Bonus
Enhanceable. Convertible. Portable.Should the sponsor retire, then all the 10% bonuses that were being paid residually to that person, reduces to 7%, similar to a pension plan. The remaining 3% is paid to the broker where the sponsor’s license resides. From this point forward, amounts equivalent to 7% of the gross production of all of the recruits sponsored by this individual are received on closing as before. This continues for as long as the recruits stay with EXIT and generate business.**
5% Beneficiary Bonus
In addition to the 10% full-time bonus and the 7% retirement bonus, another residual or perpetual benefit has been added. This is the 5% beneficiary benefit bonus that is paid out should the sponsor become deceased. The sponsor’s pre-chosen beneficiary receives an amount equivalent to 5% of the gross production of all those he or she previously sponsored into EXIT.
This system that we teach in is a step-by-step program for managing continues as long as the recruits stay with EXIT and generate business. What a boon to the family! What a powerful solution to an overwhelming problem that looms over everyone in this business.***
*The Sponsoring Bonus is paid by EXIT to a maximum of $10,000 per year per sponsored agent.
**The Retirement Bonus is paid by EXIT to a maximum of $7,000 per year per sponsored agent.

EXIT Mid-Atlantic Agents Earn Prestigious Designation to Help Homeowners in Danger of Foreclosure
MaryBeth Lewandowski & Betsy McLoughlin of Exit Realty Plus, Germantown, MD have earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by "distressed" homes in the foreclosure process.
In the Germantown area, more than 1 out of 10 homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges. Local experts say that even high-priced homes are not immune.
"This CDPE designation has been invaluable as we work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales," said MaryBeth and Betsy. "It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure."
Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., said that Realtors® such as MaryBeth and Betsy with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. These experts also may better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience.
The Distressed Property Institute opened in January 2008 and provides training on-site and online. The CDPE is the premier designation for Realtors helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales."Our goal is to educate as many people as possible so we can help as many homeowners as possible," Charfen said.
