Mentorship application

A different proposition

Leads can disappear. Skill stays with you.

A team can be the right fit for some agents. But dependence on another person’s lead flow is not the only way to grow.

Nicolas’s approach is to help you understand how business is actually created: thoughtful conversations, disciplined follow up, earned trust, useful market knowledge and a reputation that compounds. The objective is not to hand you a fish. It is to help you become capable of building the practice yourself.

A difficult market is precisely when a repeatable business matters most.

The EXIT Formula

A valuable idea, explained plainly.

EXIT calls the introduction sponsoring. Mentorship is how Nicolas chooses to support the people he introduces.

Sponsoring is single level. The brokerage or franchise makes every affiliation decision, and any potential benefit is governed by the current EXIT Formula and applicable agreements.

10%

Sponsoring

Under the current Canadian Formula, an eligible sponsoring associate may receive an amount equivalent to 10% of a sponsored associate’s gross commissions, up to $10,000 per recruit per calendar year. EXIT states that it pays the bonus and it does not reduce the sponsored associate’s commission. Prorating, fees and program requirements apply.

7%

Lifestyle and retirement

An eligible part time or retired associate may receive an amount equivalent to 7%, up to $7,000 per recruit per calendar year, subject to the current Formula, applicable fees and continuing eligibility.

5%

Beneficiary benefit

A properly designated beneficiary may be eligible to receive an amount equivalent to 5%, up to $5,000 per recruit per calendar year, subject to designation, fees and the current Formula terms.

A clear disclosure

If Nicolas introduces you and you join an EXIT office, he may be identified as your sponsor and may become eligible for sponsoring bonuses under EXIT’s current terms.

Figures shown reflect the Canadian Formula revised March 23, 2026. Earnings are not guaranteed. Eligibility, caps, fees, payment timing, beneficiary designation and program rules apply.

Personal where it matters

One introduction. The right local office.

Eligible EXIT associates can introduce prospective recruits to EXIT offices across Canada and the United States, subject to the current Formula, local requirements, office availability and franchise approval.

If your business is in Ontario, Nicolas can help you begin with the appropriate office, including EXIT Realty Matrix where there is a fit. Outside Ontario, he can help start the conversation with a local EXIT office. The applicable broker or franchise makes the affiliation decision.

Request a confidential conversation

Is this a fit?

For agents who want to build, not simply receive.

This conversation is open to registered real estate professionals and people completing the Ontario registration path. It starts with what you want your business to become and whether Nicolas’s standard of mentorship matches the way you want to work.

You want to learn how to create business, not wait for someone else to feed it to you.

You are prepared to practise, prospect, follow up and improve with consistency.

You value candid advice, professional standards and accountability without theatre.

You want a business that can become more durable, referable and independent over time.

Important information. The mentorship described here is Nicolas’s own professional support commitment and is distinct from EXIT’s sponsoring program. This page is not an offer of employment or a promise of income, production, leads or business results. Any brokerage affiliation is subject to registration requirements, brokerage approval, a written agreement and the current EXIT Formula where applicable. Mentorship does not authorize an unregistered person to trade in real estate. Each office is independently owned and operated. Information reviewed November 10, 2026.
