In the dynamic world of real estate, success often hinges on more than just market trends and property values. At EXIT Realty North Star, we believe in the transformative power of personal growth and development. Continuously seeking ways to grow and direct our development, we've made a tradition of choosing one word to guide our entire year. Inspired by Jon Gordon's influential book on the subject, each member of our team has selected a word that encapsulates their goals and serves as a compass for 2024.
Why One Word?
The One Word concept is a practice that involves choosing a single, impactful word to embody your goals, values, and direction for the year ahead. It's a concise and powerful way to set intentions, offering clarity and focus amid the challenges and opportunities that will arise in the real estate industry and in our personal lives in the next year. Here are the words that our team members selected for 2024:
Passion
For our broker, Jon Niemeyer, “passion” is his chosen word. Jon’s goal for 2024 is to reinfuse passion into his work and service for both his clients and agents. With a fervent commitment to the real estate profession, Jon desires to bring unparalleled enthusiasm to his role. His goal is for his passion to not only motivate him but also inspire the entire team.
Diligence
Agent Austin DeFord has chosen "diligence" as his guiding word for 2024. He aspires to embody dedication and thoroughness to every client interaction. In the fast-paced world of real estate, Austin's commitment to diligence will ensure that no detail is overlooked, allowing him to deliver top-notch service to his clients.
Challenge
Agent Weslie Rouse chose “challenge” as his word. By embracing the challenges that come his way, Weslie seeks growth and development in every opportunity. He aims to step outside of his comfort zone and challenge himself in 2024, both in real estate and in his personal endeavors.
Steadfast
Office Director Zara Kintz chose “steadfast” as her word for the year, hoping to embody strength and stability in the year ahead. Zara aims to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to excellence, character, and leadership that sets the tone for the entire office. This will ensure a cohesive, supportive, and first-rate environment for both agents and clients.
Flourish
Administrator Kristy Niemeyer chose "flourish" as her word for the year, reflecting her aspiration to foster strength and health by growing deep roots. Kristy thrives personally with this word and contributes to the flourishing environment of our office. She cultivates a workspace where everyone can grow and prosper, committing to helping both agents and clients flourish, making her an invaluable part of our team here at EXIT Realty North Star.
Accelerate
Finally, as EXIT Realty North Star is part of the larger EXIT family, we join EXIT Realty Corp. International and their powerful one word: "accelerate." Guided by the commitment to growth and innovation, EXIT Realty Corp. International is dedicated to being proactive rather than reactive in propelling the entire network forward.

Conclusion
Whether in the competitive landscape of real estate or just in our daily personal lives, the power of a single word can be transformative. EXIT Realty North Star's commitment to the One Word concept reflects our dedication to intentional and growth-minded lives.
