EXIT Upward Realty Creates In-House Academy

Best Trained Agents to be Recognized

Press Release:
Chattanooga/Hixson, Tennessee (Grassroots Newswire), April 2, 2009 --


UpwardRealty.com has created an in-house training academy for their agents. The new program is known as the Upward Academy and began enrolling agents at the end of March. The academy organizes and advances the extensive training the Company has always offered.

"I am very excited to be able to recognize our best agents," said Raymond Warren, Broker/Owner of UpwardRealty.com. "We are proud of the dedication and hard work of our sales team. We want each of them to know their company has great expectations of them, but will support them in achieving those expectations. We can best serve the public by offering them the very best trained agents to represent them."

With enrollment in the designation program of Upward Academy, the agents can earn the Graduate Upward Academy (GUA) designation that identifies them as one of the best in the business. Agents must complete extensive in-house and outside training programs. The education consists of EXIT Boot Camps and other specific industry approved classes. In addition to education, to earn the GUA, agents must complete a minimum number of closings prior to receiving the designation. The agent must also be in good standing with the Company, State Regulators, plus all local, state, and national Realtor® associations. Once enrolled, the agent has 24 months to meet the requirements for designation.

The designation program is available to all UpwardRealty.com sales agents at no charge. Agents with other companies may interview for sales positions with the company and if accepted may pursue the designation. Or see career opportunities here.
