They say that April showers will bring May flowers. And after the torrential downpour that Saskatchewan went through just the other day, May's flowers should represent a spectacular crop of spring colours.

 

          This is likely the best time of the year. The last of the winter snow cover has been whisked away by the breath of warm air and sun-filled skies, brushed by the freshest of prairie winds. The ice is gone from the waters. There is an almost overwhelming sense of rebirth. The mood of the land is better and so is the mood of the people. Spring is when the trees shed their winter rust and bring out the season's first leaves. The fruit trees will soon burst forth in their red, purple and white displays of nature's renewal. And, the world will seem a better place to be. The walks around Wascana Lake will not be into the teeth of a bitterly cold northern wind.

 

          And, people get pumped about just about every aspect of their lives.

 

          You can see it everywhere.

 

          You can see it and feel it at Exit Realty Fusion, Regina and Saskatchewan's most innovative and fastest growing real estate company.

 

          The young company's roster has swollen as more and more agents, new and experienced, come on board, and the office in the Gardiner Park Mall is a hustling, bustling place where agents are plugging into the teamwork and training program Broker Loretta Hughes has put into place.

 

          Never has Exit Realty seen the kind of growth and productivity it has been experiencing in Regina in such a short period of time. Exit Realty was started about 13 years ago. Owned by Canadian Steve Morris, it began by opening franchises throughout the United States when the market there was strong. It moved into Canada seven years ago, starting in the Maritimes where it became the number one real estate company. Now, it is heading west.

 

          Regina was its first stop in a major Western Canadian city, and in just over two years Exit Realty Fusion has been an electrifying addition to the real estate world.

 

          "The future of Exit Realty in Western Canada can be found in Regina where this franchise is fast becoming what every real estate company will soon be measured against," said one long-term Canadian real estate observer.

 

          Loretta has become a sought after speaker at Exit Realty conventions. She was asked to speak to the international convention of Exit Realty in Washington D.C. last fall. Now, she has been asked to speak at the Canadian convention in Niagara Falls this spring.

 

Exit Realty Fusion's growth and reach is truly the incredible story of the Little Engine That Could.

 

          Soon, there will be a big announcement that Exit Realty Fusion has become a Game Day Sponsor of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Loretta and her team are putting together a celebration of the Riders 100^th year anniversary which will involve people from every part of the province and bring a renewed focus on what the Riders mean to Saskatchewan. Watch for this announcement.

 

          Armed with an incredible group of agents and a front-office staff second to none and operating out of a "green" and state of the art office, Exit Realty is growing so fast it's hard to keep up.

 

          Just this weekend, a two-day training seminar is being held in Regina. Not only are Exit Realty Fusion agents attending, but agents from other real estate companies in Regina and Alberta will be attending the two-day seminar at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. Why? Because there is no other training session like it available to Agents. Why? Because it is being conducted by the renowned Bill Nasby, perhaps the best and most inspiring real estate teacher in North America.

 

          Nasby, who was raised in northern Saskatchewan and now calls the Okanagan Valley home, tours North America conducting real estate seminars because he is, as the song goes, simply the best.

 

          And why is Loretta inviting agents from other companies to attend an Exit Realty Fusion seminar? Because she wants all agents to have the opportunity to learn how to be the best they can be. "And Bill Nasby will show them. He's incredible," she said.

 

          There are so many good things about spring in Saskatchewan. And there is no doubt that the jump-start Exit Realty Fusion in Regina is getting on the year is one of them.
