Go to &lt;a title="REALTOR.org" href="http://www.realtor.org/" target="_blank"&gt;REALTOR.org&lt;/a&gt; and look up as much information as you possibly can so that you have accurate market knowledge in order to help [your investors].

[If] you&amp;rsquo;re on the side of wanting to be acquired, find out who is doing serious business and growing in your market. [If you want to acquire a company], pay attention to what it is they&amp;rsquo;re accomplishing so you can really take advantage of this opportunity. It&amp;rsquo;s going to be a win/win for both sides.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;For trends 4 and 5, please &lt;a title="Florida REALTOR: Tami Bonnell: Investors Are Buying; Are You Prepared?" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rAhbE-wFaw" target="_blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to watch the video on YouTube.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Copyright Florida REALTORS&amp;reg; 2012&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.realestateindustryleaders.com/public/item/273025</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:36:32 -0500</pubDate>

International recently announced that the sub-franchisor rights to the region of Upper New England (Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire) have been awarded to Ted Bateman and Elias Thomas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;quot;EXIT Realty is expanding across the continent and it is paramount that we have the right people in place to spearhead our growth,&amp;quot; said Tami Bonnell, President of company's U.S. organization. &amp;quot;We will absolutely own the next decade.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Bateman has been a successful entrepreneur in both Florida, where he started his real estate career, and New Hampshire. In 2003 he opened EXIT Realty Leaders in &lt;a title="EXIT Realty Leaders, Ossipee" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/office_detail.aspx?id=468&amp;amp;type=F" target="_blank"&gt;Ossipee&lt;/a&gt; which expanded to include branch locations in &lt;a title="EXIT Realty Leaders, North Conway" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/office_detail.aspx?id=586&amp;amp;type=F" target="_blank"&gt;North Conway&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a title="EXIT Realty Leaders, Wakefield" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/office_detail.aspx?id=1727&amp;amp;type=F" target="_blank"&gt;Wakefield&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;quot;Elias and I acquired the regional rights to Northern New England because we believe real estate brokers, agents and their families deserve the benefits of real jobs like real people and should not only be as good as their last sale,&amp;quot; said Bateman. &amp;quot;The EXIT business model provides that opportunity. EXIT Realty of Upper New England will be home to the smartest and most productive real estate agents in the region - EXIT's MIND-SET &lt;a title="EXIT Realty's MIND-SET Training Systems" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/training.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;sales training&lt;/a&gt;, state-of-the-art &lt;a title="EXIT Realty's state-of-the-art technology" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/technology" target="_blank"&gt;technology&lt;/a&gt; as well as our unique &lt;a title="EXIT Realty's Formula of Single-Level Residuals" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/take10.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;business model&lt;/a&gt; will help to achieve that goal.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Thomas, a native of Portland, Maine, began his real estate career in 1969 and became broker-owner, with his wife Jane, of KEY Real Estate in &lt;a title="EXIT Key Real Estate, Shapleigh" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/agent_detail.aspx?agentid=69755&amp;amp;regionid=&amp;amp;officeid=ME501%20&amp;amp;type=F&amp;amp;af_id=183009&amp;amp;loc_id=2208" target="_blank"&gt;Shapleigh&lt;/a&gt;. He has been an active Rotarian since 1978 traveling abroad as Team Leader on annual humanitarian missions. He also served as Rotary Club president for two clubs and as District Governor. In 2011 Thomas and his wife converted their independent brokerage to the first EXIT Realty franchise in the State of Maine.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;quot;We believed being associated with a franchise could attract some good folks in the business to come with us,&amp;quot; said Thomas. &amp;quot;Choosing EXIT Realty came down to tremendous technological support, as well as empathy - being respectful of others and being supportive. We bought the region because we wanted to share the great benefits of EXIT Realty with other agents and brokers throughout Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;quot;We are honored to have true real estate professionals with decades of experience in the business representing us in Upper New England,&amp;quot; said Bonnell. &amp;quot;Both Ted and Elias bring expertise, know-how and leadership to the region.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;For more information, please visit &lt;a title="EXIT Realty Upper New England" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/uppernewengland" target="_blank"&gt;EXIT Realty of Upper New England&lt;/a&gt; or call 855-345-3948.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.realestateindustryleaders.com/public/item/272987</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:10:24 -0500</pubDate>

       </item><item><title>EXIT Real Estate Partners Teams Up with University of Chicago on Home Microbiome Study</title><link>http://www.realestateindustryleaders.com/public/item/272947</link><description>Study to investigate ways people interact with surfaces in the home&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.exitrealty.com/office_detail.aspx?id=1519&amp;amp;type=F" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hspace="5" alt="EXIT Real Estate Partners" vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.exitnews.info/times/blog/EXIT-RE-Partners.jpg" width="302" height="297" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Downers Grove, IL&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;(Grassroots Newswire) &lt;/strong&gt;-- You leave quite an impression, biologically speaking.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a title="EXIT Real Estate Partners" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/office_detail.aspx?id=1519&amp;amp;type=F" target="_blank"&gt;EXIT Real Estate Partners&lt;/a&gt; is excited to team up with the University of Chicago scientists on the &lt;a title="Earth Microbiome Project" href="http://www.earthmicrobiome.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Home Microbiome Study&lt;/a&gt;, which is being funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.&amp;nbsp; The study will investigate&amp;nbsp;the ways in which we interact with the living surfaces of our home, and the fundamental impact humans have on the composition of microbes in the home.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Taking samples from floors, counter tops, and other household surfaces both before and after owners move in, the University of Chicago research team will use advanced gene sequencing techniques to catalog how human occupancy changes the communities of microbes that live side by side with us, and help craft a new understanding of the dynamic interaction between humans and the microbes in the surrounding environment. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Owner &lt;a title="Brian Kwilosz, Franchisee, EXIT Real Estate Partners" href="http://www.exitrealty.com/agent_detail.aspx?agentid=53758&amp;amp;regionid=&amp;amp;officeid=IL520%20&amp;amp;type=F&amp;amp;af_id=182505&amp;amp;loc_id=1519" target="_blank"&gt;Brian Kwilosz&lt;/a&gt; states &amp;quot;EXIT Real Estate Partners&amp;nbsp;is very proud and honored to have been selected to participate in this project.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This&amp;nbsp;presents a unique opportunity for our clients, and homeowners in general to be a part of scientific research as it happens.&amp;nbsp; It's not very often that we get to be a part of something like this.&amp;nbsp; To be able&amp;nbsp;work hand in hand with prominent scientists working on&amp;nbsp;a project of this significance is a special thing.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The research has the potential to reveal important new facts about the microbial environment.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;We live in a balanced world between good bacteria and bad bacteria, and this epic equilibrium is occurring all over our bodies and our homes,&amp;rdquo; said Dr. Jack A. Gilbert of Argonne National Laboratory, who is leading the U. Chicago team. &amp;ldquo;This study aims to discover how stable that balance is. When people move into a house, they are moving into a stranger's house, and a whole new bacterial world. It is likely that the new tenants will have a big influence on the bacteria living on the walls, floor, surfaces and light switches - and vice versa - but we have no details of that relationship. We will discover what the impact is, and also determine what influence this might have on people&amp;rsquo;s health.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The collaboration between EXIT Real Estate Partners and Dr. Gilbert&amp;rsquo;s team is part of what drew the Sloan Foundation&amp;rsquo;s attention. &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;This is a exciting project not only because it promises to shed light on the very important issue of how and to what extent human beings change the microbial environments around us,&amp;rdquo; said Dr. Paula J. Olsiewski, Program Director at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;but also because it represents a unique partnership between the scientists who study our homes, and the industry professionals who build, furnish, and sell them. The collaboration between EXIT Real Estate Partners and the University of Chicago team is opening new frontiers for discovery.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a title="The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation" href="http://www.sloan.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Alfred P. Sloan Foundation&lt;/a&gt; is a philanthropic, not-for-profit grant-making institution based in New York City. Established in 1934 by Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr., then-President and Chief Executive Officer of the General Motors Corporation, the Foundation makes grants in support of original research and education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and economic performance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.realestateindustryleaders.com/public/item/272947</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:26:25 -0500</pubDate>
