What is a Selected Agent?:
|
Selected Agents are
all full-time, fully licensed professionals who work for a licensed Broker
in their state. Each of the agents in the Network have reviewed our Statement
of Core Values, and have committed to work with the utmost integrity
and honesty. Selected Agents are committed to maintaining their
professional education, and most hold a variety of professional real
estate designations. In addition, their services are continually evaluated
by EXODUS staff, and by the moving families they work with.
We're proud of the record of service and integrity of each of our Selected
Agents. We'd be happy to recommend one to you to help you buy or sell a
home!

How does EXODUS CHOOSE AGENTS?
|
The EXODUS Network is selective about
the agents we give referrals to. We are unlike other referral services in
that we do not make agreements with entire companies. We choose specific
agents to handle our referrals and we prescreen and check references for
each agent who is associated with us.
Many Selected Agents are referred to EXODUS by customers who have been
pleased with their service. Before joining the network, each prospective
agent is interviewed and submits information about his or her training and
production, as well as the names of several of the families whom s/he has
recently helped. EXODUS contacts these previous customer/clients to
inquire about the quality of service this agent provided.

| CONTINUAL
EVALUATION
|
EXODUS renews "Selected
Agent" status on an annual basis after evaluating an agent's customer
service record, integrity, professionalism and knowledge of real estate. EXODUS
staff also follow up with families who are currently working with Selected
Agents track feedback from these ongoing evaluations. If EXODUS staff are not
satisfied with the caliber of service an agent provides, the agent's status may
be revoked, or simply not renewed the following year.
Our goal is that every person is completely satisfied with the Selected Agent we recommend to them. Recognizing we cannot always match personalities on first try, we will continue to work with the buyer or seller until they are comfortable. We are looking for the best REALTORS® around
the country and we're finding them! Contact us to get connected with a Selected Agent, whether you
need to buy or
sell!
