Frank D'Angelo, Broker Owner of EXIT Realty Executives, made the transition from the education industry to joining the real estate industry with the RE/MAX Executive Club of 1999. Frank continued the traditional business plan until EXIT arrived to Minnesota in 2005. It took him less than an hour to realize ‘There is something really big going on here’. He found an 'empathy driven' company that focuses on their real estate agents as the companies best assets offering the best training opportunities in the industry, top-shelf technology tools and the only real option to earn more than 100%, with retirement options and benefits options. The formula and the EXIT story was simple to tell and very compelling. "Not only could we not wait to get involved at the agent level, we decided to launch our own
EXIT REALTY EXECUTIVES FRANCHISE
. The greatest EXIT we've made for our customers and for our family happened right here with our EXIT family in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro."
