EXIT offers superior client service and a unique approach to the real estate industry.   As a result, Exit has become a major competitor in record time. We have over 19000 agents and have over 750 offices ( 7 in Illinois)  as of November 15th, 2005!REALTOR® Technology, also found that 25 percent of respondents spent more than $2,000 on technology in 2006. In addition, approximately two-thirds of those surveyed have a real estate business Web site, and a quarter spends more than $1,000 annually to maintain their site. Nearly all of these sites - 93 percent - provide listing search capabilities. Other than their own Web site, the most popular sites for Realtors® to display their listings include the local MLS, their broker's Web site and REALTOR.com.   "Realtors® have invested a lot of time and millions of dollars in building and improving real estate technology, and the demand for additional technology is high," said Mark Lesswing, NAR senior vice president and chief technology officer. "While eight in 10 Realtors® think the current technology supplied by their broker is valuable, two-thirds would like their broker to expand the amount of technology offered. Eighty-four percent of those surveyed were also interested in augmenting the technology and services offered by their Multiple Listing Service." One of those services is the Comparative Market Analysis, which compares a home to similar properties that have sold in an area. Ninety-four percent of those surveyed include a CMA as part of their listing presentations, and most Realtors® are satisfied with the program. However, 35 percent thought the program could be improved by offering the ability to personalize designs and making it easier to use. The most popular devices Realtors® use in their day-to-day business include digital cameras, desktop computers and cell phones. The survey also revealed the growing popularity of smart phones or PDAs, which provide phone, Internet and e-mail capabilities. In 2005, only 8 percent of respondents used a smart phone compared to 28 percent in 2006, and as many as 30 percent of respondents plan to purchase or replace one in the coming year. Realtors®' use of automated forms and transaction management software is also on the rise as real estate transactions become more complex. In fact, more than three-fourths of Realtors® surveyed said they must manage as many as 20 documents to complete a real estate transaction. Fifty-nine percent of those surveyed use an automated forms management program to help streamline the paperwork involved in a transaction. Twenty-three percent of respondents use a transaction management system, which tracks each step of the real estate process, and 69 percent of those who aren't currently using a transaction management system are interested in adopting the technology.
