• #120 EXIT Realty Horizons: A Powerhouse in the Desert
    Jun 26 2024

    Our "Best of the Best" series continues with the owners of one of highest producing offices in the company, EXIT Realty Horizons. Their 108 agents average 13 transactions a year, 16 to 23 agents cap at 90% each year with 4 honored in the top 100 in all of EXIT Realty (in 2023).


    It's significant that all this production happens in Las Cruces, New Mexico, a small town of only 108,000. EXIT Realty Horizons stands head and shoulders above all local and major brands. The company is owned and led by Joseph Arnone and Chris Harrison, two guys with personal charisma and powerful street credentials.

    In this episode of Leader's Path, Chris and Joe share the top three things they do well as a team:
    1. A strong approach to onboarding and training that creates production quickly
    2. Retention with a dozen agents who have been with them nearly 20 years, all starting as new licensees
    3. How they have taught and encouraged sponsoring to where it is a core value in the company. Wait 'til you hear their total amount of residuals - astonishing!

    This is a loaded episode, so take some notes!

  • #117 Jim Mazziotti and Juana Beede: How to Build a Buyer for Your Brokerage from Within
    Jan 4 2024

    EXIT Realty Bend in Bend, OR, is a three-act play of success. In this episode, we discover how Jim Mazziotti started his EXIT brokerage from scratch, hired brand-new agent, Juana Beede, early on, trained and prepared her to be a very productive agent, and all was well. Act one.

    Then one day life changed for Jim, and he was faced with the decision to move to Texas. Having a succession plan is a must for any business but he had no idea that when Juana learned of his dilemma, she was interested in buying the brokerage. Just as he had trained Juana to sell real estate, Jim began to mentor her to lead the office. Act two.

    Jim then moved to a northern suburb of Dallas where he joined EXIT Elite Realty. Paul Reitz and team immediately put Jim to work mentoring agents there and within a year and a half Jim became the sales manager, all the while mentoring Juana back in Bend. Act three.

    Listen to Jim and Juana tell the story of how it all happened.
