EXIT Realty Corp. International Spirit of EXIT

EXIT Realty, More Than Just A Real Estate Company

The philanthropic efforts of EXIT Associates across the U.S. and Canada are
amplified by the Spirit of EXIT Charitable Program. National charities as well as
local non-profits benefit from the support of real estate professionals who live and
work in the communities they serve.


A portion of every transaction fee received by EXIT Realty Corp. International is
applied to its charitable fund. Through the Spirit of EXIT Dollar-for-Dollar
Charitable Program, EXIT Associates can raise money for local, approved,
registered charities and apply to have those funds matched from the company’s pool
of funds. To-date, EXIT has allocated more than $7 million to charity.


“Part of the application process involves explaining why a particular charity was
chosen and some of the stories are very personal,” explains Susan Harrison, Senior
Vice President with EXIT Realty who oversees the program. “We have agents whose
children face life threatening illnesses who want to raise money for medical
research. We have agents who tell us that at one point in their lives they were foodinsecure,
and a particular food bank was the reason they ate. Other agents deeply relate to the needs of veterans and others still to animal welfare. One of the things I love best about our program is that everyone relates to a different need that tugs at their heart, and it might be different than another agent in their office or an office across the country. Our program supports what our people care about at their core.”


EXIT saw a 24.6% increase in the number of initiatives in 2022 over 2021. In 2022,
over half the Spirit of EXIT initiatives supported non-profits working to benefit
children and communities. Examples of the non-profits in each of the categories
include:


Animals 4.7% – Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary
Cancer 5.8% – Pink Cans 4 Cancer
Children 28% – Children’s Advocacy Center of Van Zandt County
Community Support 25.5% – Haven House homeless shelter
Habitat 8.1% – Habitat for Humanity. EXIT’s history with Habitat for Humanity
dates back to 2004. Habitat for Humanity is categorized separately because of the
number of Spirit of EXIT applications received benefiting the non-profit.
Medical Research 5.8% – United MSD Foundation
Medical Support 16.3% – Carlton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation

“The last two sentences of EXIT’s mission statement are, ‘EXIT empowers people to live their why. Real estate is our how,’” says Susan. “This is their why.”

EXIT Realty Success Continues Giving to Good Samaritan with The Spirit of EXIT

Howard Kronthal, Broker/Owner of EXIT Realty Success in Martinsburg, WV and his team of professionals hosted a Cars Under the Stars Movie event in their parking lot for the community with funds going to support The Great Berkeley Bike Bash under Good Samaritan Free Clinic.  

The Great Berkeley Bike Bash was formed for the children at Burke Street Elementary to offer bicycles and helmets to those who cannot afford them and teach bike and street safety while promoting a healthier lifestyle.  

“Our fundraiser was a success! We had 16 raffle baskets, 50/50, free face painting, food trucks, hula-hoop contests with prizes, kids and adults costume contest with prizes, and of course, the movie Moana. There were so many smiling happy faces!  

This was a community event structured for families to enjoy an outdoor movie together and to meet our agents and staff,” said Kem Warr, office manager of EXIT Realty Success.  

A portion of every transaction fee received by EXIT Realty Corp. International is applied to its charitable fund. Through the Spirit of EXIT Dollar-for-Dollar Matching Program, EXIT offices and associates can raise money for local, approved, registered charities and apply to EXIT’s head office to have those funds matched from the company’s pool of funds. Howard and his team raised $329.25, which EXIT’s head office was proud to match, for a total donation of $658.50 to Good Samaritan Free Clinic.  

“We appreciate the partnership in supporting our community and the vulnerable populations. I look forward to our project and the benefits that the children will  receive,” said Karen Newell, Director of Good Samaritan Free Clinic.
