Outstanding Entrepreneurial Leadership Honored

Regions of the Year Recognized by EXIT Realty Corp. International

 

Anaheim , CA – EXIT Realty is home to thousands of real estate professionals across the U.S. and Canada and recently the corporate head office recognized the outstanding achievement of its champions during an awards ceremony at the Disneyland^® Hotel in Anaheim, California.  The ceremony was a highlight of the company’s annual convention presided over by EXIT Realty Corp. International Founder and Chairman, Steve Morris, and Co-Chair, Tami Bonnell.

 

A highlight of the event is the recognition of Region of the Year which honors the individuals who shape the future of the company across entire states by identifying and mentoring real estate brokerage owners. This year three such regions received the award: EXIT Realty Upper Midwest, EXIT Realty of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma, and EXIT Southeast.

 

EXIT Realty Upper Midwest is led by Regional Owner, Bill Pankonin, a second-generation real estate professional who works closely with his son, Cade Pankonin.  They recently expanded their leadership to include six additional states, welcoming Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Wyoming to the EXIT Realty Midwest family of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, and Michigan.  The region was also recognized for achieving the third highest franchise sales in the company.

 

EXIT Realty of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma is led by the husband-and-wife team of Troy and Kathy Dooley and their Director of Operations, Franke Joehl.  Having expanded Alabama and Mississippi to more than 60 markets, they extended their leadership to include Arkansas and Oklahoma in 2023.  They were also recognized for ranking #2 in franchise sales.

 

EXIT Southeast is led by veteran real estate professionals, Kenny Lynn and Stacy Strobl.  Starting their regional ownership journey in Tennessee in 2013, their empire now also includes Kentucky, Georgia, Florida and Texas.  This driven and dynamic team achieved the #1 ranking for franchise sales across the U.S. and Canada.

 

“What an amazing thing to have three regions doing such a great job as leaders, selling franchises, building the brand and building people that our most prestigious annual regional award ended in a three-way tie!” said Bonnell. “We are fortunate to have these leaders in our EXIT family.”

 

About EXIT Realty: EXIT Realty is a company founded and built on human potential. A full service, forward-thinking, real estate franchisor with offices across North America, EXIT has to-date paid out more than a half a billion dollars in single-level residual income to its associates.

EXIT Realty Corp. International Awards Subfranchisor Rights to Michigan to Bill Pankonin

Tami Bonnell, CEO of EXIT Realty Corp. International, today announced that the subfranchisor rights to the state of Michigan have been awarded to Willard (Bill) Pankonin.

Detroit, Mchigan (Grassroots Newswire) 3/19/21 -- Bill is the Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Upper Midwest comprising Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, and Wisconsin. He is also the Regional Director of Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.

EXIT Realty Upper Midwest’s rapid expansion is testament to Bill’s skill in identifying and developing strong brokerage leaders.  He joined EXIT Realty as a franchise owner in 2005 and quickly turned his attention to regional development less than a year later.  Since then, the region’s footprint has expanded to include 90 brokerages and EXIT Realty Upper Midwest has twice been named International Region of the Year.

EXIT Realty Upper Midwest is a family operated company.  Bill is a second-generation REALTOR® who works closely with son, Cade, in the region.  “We have been able to double the number of new offices within the first year in all of our history of acquisitions,” says Bill.  “Illinois proved to be the training grounds for large markets. Chicago and Detroit have many similarities, but the biggest draw was the current leadership they have in Michigan.”

“Bill and Cade are outstanding regional leaders,” says Mrs. Bonnell.  “They have been instrumental in building through franchise sales, mergers and acquisitions, as well as sharing best practices with all of their brokers, managers and agents.  We look forward to their extending their skill and expertise into Michigan.”

Michigan is currently home to 19 independently owned and operated EXIT offices and the Pankonin team has aggressive expansion plans throughout the state.  “Cade and I have always been the ‘Lewis and Clark’ of the Upper Midwest,” says Bill.  “We continue to plant the teal flag into communities where EXIT isn’t well-known. Our proven track record and passion to help our brokers and agents always comes first. Our goal to make a positive difference in the lives of our agents and their families continues to be the driving force behind everything we do.”
