“What an honor to receive this award,” said Pankonin.  “I am so humbled to be able to represent such a great organization. Finding leaders throughout the Upper Midwest and helping them with their business and career decisions is what I love to do. I'm passionate about the opportunities we bring into their lives.”

“Bill Pankonin is a leaders’ leader,” said Tami Bonnell, CEO, EXIT Realty Corp. International.  “He is constantly growing, both personally and professionally, and he inspires his brokers and agents by the example he sets.  Bill is an excellent representative for EXIT Realty in the Upper Midwest and it is a pleasure to present him with this award.”

International.  “They are true leaders’ leaders who have developed a cohesive team of unstoppable professionals.” Their rapid growth continued in 2017, adding the rights to Georgia and consolidating the regions as EXIT Southeast.

“EXIT is more than a real estate company; it is a family.  When one of us does well, we all share in that success,” Lynn said. “This EXIT Southeast success continues to grow with more opportunity for franchise development in Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee and, as regional owners, we couldn’t be more excited.”

Morris was on hand to present the 2017 Region of the Year Award along with Tami Bonnell, EXIT Realty Corp. International’s CEO.  “Kenny and Stacy set the bar high for themselves and they surpass it every year,” said Bonnell.   “We are proud to have them lead in the Southeast for EXIT.”
