Dream Family Vacation for 10 Made Possible with Residuals

Annette Rubin, Broker/Owner of EXIT on the Hudson Realty in Bayonne, New Jersey, reminisces about making her dream come true with residual income. 

When I found out that EXIT Realty Corp. International’s 2014 Convention was going to be in Disneyland®, it gave me an idea. I had always wanted to take my entire family on a first-class vacation, but never had the money to do it. Opportunity was now knocking at my door. I started a special savings account in early July of 2013 with a residual check that I received that day, and because it’s always important to visualize one’s goals, I printed out a picture of Cinderella’s Castle and pasted it to the front of the passbook. From that day forward, no matter what, I deposited every residual check that I received into that account. My husband and I even started calling them “Disney® Dollars!”

Little by little, over the next six months or so, I started realizing that this was not only possible, it was totally doable! The checks kept coming in, and even the teller at my bank started to comment that the balance was really starting to climb.

At Thanksgiving dinner that year, I shared my dream with all four of my children and their spouses. I told them to plan ahead to take some vacation days in early October of 2014. They were thrilled and their excitement continued to grow; they even bought my husband and I new luggage for Christmas!

I started researching what this dream was really going to cost. There would be round trip, cross-country airfare, hotel rooms, meals, tickets to the parks, souvenirs; for 10 people, we were talking serious money!  I was so excited when the day came for me to pay for all those airline tickets including one for my little granddaughter Abigail, who was just 20 months old when we are all in Anaheim. I’m positively thrilled to say that thanks to the vision of Founder and Chairman, Steve Morris, and EXIT Realty’s Formula, in just under 11 months I deposited $30,000 into that Disney® Dollars account. My entire family enjoyed a 5-day Disneyland® vacation added on to Mom’s Convention trip… all expenses paid … thanks to the “Smartest Real Estate Company in the World”!

The 2017 EXIT Realty Annual Convention will be held October 24-27 at the Gaylord Texan Resort Hotel & Convention Center in Grapevine Texas, near Dallas.  EXIT Realty Associates can register on the Resource Center.
