Leadership Meets Legacy
EXIT's Newest Credential Already Making Waves
Mississauga, ON – EXIT Realty proudly announced that Associate Broker and real estate educator, Jeni VanOrnum has become the very first recipient of the company’s new EXIT Master Real Estate Advisor (EMREA) designation, an achievement that sets a new standard for leadership, mentorship, and professional growth within the industry.
Launched in March 2025, EMREA was designed to provide real estate professionals with practical, scalable strategies to elevate both their business and their impact. While the program is known for its rigor, VanOrnum completed it in record time — just five months — thanks to her relentless dedication to learning and leading.
“EMREA made me pause and ask: Am I being intentional in the way I show up?...That kind of reflection isn’t always easy when you’re used to powering through, but it was exactly what I needed,” VanOrnum said, admitting she initially questioned whether the training could truly stretch her 27 years of experience and skills. Instead, the program pushed her into deep reflection and provided fresh perspective that reshaped how she mentors, sells, and leads. “[EMREA] gave me a fresh perspective I didn’t even know I needed… It wasn’t just validating. It was activating.”
According to EXIT MIND-SET Trainer and coach Erica Nasby, VanOrnum’s success is a powerful example of what happens when experienced professionals commit to staying coachable, saying, “Those who commit to training, being coachable and trainable stand out as leaders. Their clients and families benefit immensely - and they’re always leading the pack…There are no coincidences between study application and success.”
The EMREA designation equips real estate professionals with tools that improve client communication, strengthen leadership, and build purposeful, legacy-driven businesses. For VanOrnum, the biggest transformation has been the quality of her client conversations, and the elevated results that follow.
“EMREA reconnected me to my purpose and gave me the tools to lead with more confidence, compassion, and impact,” she shared. “This designation isn’t just about transactions. It’s about building a career that’s both wildly successful and deeply meaningful.”
