International, today announced that the subfranchisor rights to the state of Michigan have been awarded to Willard (Bill) Pankonin.<\/p>\n<p>Bill is the Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Upper Midwest comprising Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, and Wisconsin. He is also the Regional Director of Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>EXIT Realty Upper Midwest\u2019s rapid expansion is testament to Bill\u2019s skill in identifying and developing strong brokerage leaders. He joined EXIT Realty as a franchise owner in 2005 and quickly turned his attention to regional development less than a year later. Since then, the region\u2019s footprint has expanded to include 90 brokerages and EXIT Realty Upper Midwest has twice been named International Region of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>EXIT Realty Upper Midwest is a family operated company. Bill is a second-generation REALTOR\u00ae who works closely with son, Cade, in the region. \u201cWe have been able to double the number of new offices within the first year in all of our historyof acquisitions,\u201d says Bill. \u201cIllinois proved to be the training grounds for large markets. Chicago and Detroit have many similarities, but the biggest draw was the current leadership they have in Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBill and Cade are outstanding regional leaders,\u201d says Mrs. Bonnell. \u201cThey have been instrumental in building through franchise sales, mergers and acquisitions, as well as sharing best practices with all of their brokers, managers and agents. We look forward to their extending their skill and expertise into Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michigan is currently home to 19 independently owned and operated EXIT offices and the Pankonin team has aggressive expansion plans throughout the state. \u201cCade and I have always been the \u2018Lewis and Clark\u2019 of the Upper Midwest,\u201d says Bill. \u201cWe continue to plant the teal flag into communities where EXIT isn\u2019t well-known. Our proven track record and passion to help our brokers and agents always comes first.
