“We wouldn't be living in our dream house without your help and guidance. You were the key to our getting the house...You gave us a very even-handed presentation of the house. Your style was both encouraging and accepting. You gave us the space we needed to make the decisions that were important during the roller-coaster days of negotiation. We felt you were our advocate when conflict emerged...”
Bruce & Gail G. CBR: Certified Buyer Representative
This is the certification which has gained so much publicity in recent years as a result of more knowledgeable home purchasers, legislative action and consumer group demands. Only 1/10 of 1% of all Realtors nation-wide have earned this certification. I am particularly proud of my CBR because it assures you, as a home buyer, that I represent you and your interests. And if you are the home seller, it assures you that your liability is limited because I am the one who is responsible to the buyer.“Thank you a million for your patience and kind humor throughout the buy.”
Kim M.CRS: Certified Residential Specialist
This is the highest distinction in the real estate industry. Only 4% of all Realtors nation-wide achieve this designation. The CRS assures you I have at least ten years of professional real estate sales experience with consistent annual sales volume. This certification can only be earned upon completion of specific courses and with a proven expertise in applied residential real estate marketing.“Your ‘exceptional’ real estate expertise, constant communication follow ups, particular attention to details and general cheerful personality eased us through this naturally frustrating procedure. Thanks loads, to a great gal!”
