What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, it is mandatory for each sales representative to be sponsored into the Exit system. Sales representatives cannot sponsor themselves or each other. To acknowledge and verify the sponsorship, each recruit must do so in a manner satisfactory to Exit via Exit's online "Exit Associate Profile".
This process ensures that all new sales representatives are properly integrated into the Exit system with a designated sponsor. The sponsorship program is designed to incentivize the recruitment of new sales representatives by offering a sponsoring bonus to the person or persons responsible for introducing the new recruit to the Exit system. This bonus is equal to 10% of the gross commissions generated by the recruit, up to a maximum of $10,000 per recruit per calendar year, less applicable sponsoring bonus fees.
If a recruit is introduced to the Exit system by two sponsors, the sponsoring bonus will be split evenly between them. A recruit cannot have more than two sponsors. If no sponsor is provided and acknowledged in writing by the recruit, the franchise with whom the recruit is registered will be named the sponsor. This system is intended to encourage franchisees to develop a high-quality sales force and to assist the public in the sale and purchase of real estate in an ethical and business-like manner.
