EXIT Realty Empire Associates opened in December at 805 Route 146 in Clifton Park.
Co-owner John DiBlasi has served the upstate residential real estate market since 1999, most recently as founder of DiBlasi Real Estate.
“My license number is 7102, and now the numbers are in the 30,000s in New York,” he said of the growing number of real estate agents.
DiBlasi was being courted by several franchises and saw buying into EXIT Realty as an excellent opportunity to partner with Jennifer Vucetic in the business. Vucetic has been a real estate agent for 14 years, most recently as a broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Tech Valley. The Greater Capital Region Association of Realtors named her Realtor of the Year in 2016.
“Jenn and I have had a working relationship for many years,” said DiBlasi. “We are combining our technical knowledge and people skills into a new venture.”
They also combine a common philosophy that is a good match with EXIT Realty, which claims to be “revolutionizing our industry by fostering a mentorship culture of teaching, training and coaching,” according to the corporate website.
