What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to qualify for the loyalty discount, an Exit Associate must have been in the Exit system for 5 years or longer and have paid their annual membership dues for 5 continuous years or longer at the time of membership renewal. The annual membership fee for Exit Associates is $425.00, and it is non-refundable. This fee is due on the effective date of the Sales Representative's Agreement or the date the person becomes part of the Exit System, and on each July 1st thereafter. The annual membership for the first year is prorated based on the number of days to the following July 1st.
The loyalty discount is calculated in 5-year increments of 5% each. For example, an associate who has been with Exit for over 5 years but less than 10 years will receive a 5% discount of $21.25. The discount increases to 10% ($42.50) for over 10 years but less than 15 years, 15% ($63.75) for over 15 years but less than 20 years, 20% ($85.00) for over 20 years but less than 25 years, and 25% ($106.25) for over 25 years but less than 30 years. This discount structure provides a long-term incentive for associates to remain with Exit.
Payment of the Annual Membership is a prerequisite for receiving any Exit Sponsoring Bonuses, Retirement Benefits, and awards, as well as ensuring a presence on the Exit website and access to Exit resources. Franchises are responsible for collecting the Annual Membership from Exit Associates and paying it to Exit immediately upon the signing of the new Sales Representative or Exit Associate Agreement and upon the annual renewal date of July 1st. Payment can be made by electronic funds transfer or by the Franchise's check. Exit associates can also pay online directly by VISA® or MasterCard®, but personal checks are not accepted. Any amount not paid within seven days of the due date will incur a late fee of $50.
