At EXIT Real Estate Specialists, we believe the best real estate professionals never stop learning. That’s why we are excited to invite all Realtors—whether you’re with EXIT or another brokerage—to join us for our upcoming 2026 training series.
These sessions are designed to help you grow your business, better serve your clients, and stay ahead of the changing real estate market. This isn’t just training—it’s a look at where the industry is going and what you can do right now to be ready.
We’ve lined up powerful speakers, hands-on training, and real-world strategies that every agent can use immediately.
Karen Graham, Area Sales Manager with America’s Preferred Home Warranty (APHW), will be joining us to explain how home warranties can protect both buyers and sellers—and how Realtors can use them as a powerful closing and relationship-building tool.
APHW is known for its “choose your own contractor” model, giving homeowners flexibility while keeping claims simple. Karen will walk through:
How warranties help reduce post-closing stress
How Realtors can use warranties to stand out
How to position home warranties as a value-add for clients
Success in 2026 starts with a plan. Ryan D’Aprile will lead a dynamic session on setting and achieving meaningful goals—for both you and your clients.
You’ll learn:
How to set realistic, growth-driven goals
How to align your business with your clients’ needs
How to build consistency and accountability into your year
Technology matters. This hands-on training will focus on the MRED Paragon platform, showing you how to:
Find properties faster
Create better searches for clients
Use MLS tools to win more listings and close more deals
Knowing how to prepare your clients for a home inspection can make or break a deal. On Target Inspections will walk Realtors through:
What buyers and sellers should expect

We’re excited to welcome Dave Johnson, VP/Area Manager of Fidelity National Title, who will be presenting on Understanding the Closing Statement.
This session will help Realtors:
Clearly explain settlement statements to buyers and sellers
Understand where every dollar goes in a transaction
Prevent last-minute surprises at the closing table
Build confidence and credibility with clients
Knowing how to read and explain a closing statement is one of the most powerful tools a Realtor can have—and Dave will break it down in a way that’s easy to understand and immediately useful.
