Certifications and Special Skills
Certified Residential Specialist Designation (CRS)
Our dedication to being the best in the business inspired both Cathy/Vickie and me to earn our Certified Residential Specialist Designation (CRS), an elite certification held by only 3% of all realtors nationwide. It requires extensive educational and professional requirements be met to be awarded this designation. It is the equivalent of a Master’s Degree in Real Estate.
One of the benefits of this certification is it gives us privileges outside our local area and allows us to serve your friends and family across the country too. We’re proud to hold this certification as it signals our clients and other Realtors our commitment to excellence is amongst the best of the best.
Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES)
Carrying this certification makes us especially qualified to address the real estate needs of seniors. We recognize that a home often is the largest and most precious asset that baby boomers possess. When considering a lifestyle change or downsizing, seniors especially need a trusted advisor to provide honest care that puts their need first. We bring a unique approach to each transaction and interaction with all our clients. This designation goes even further to not only offer a deep knowledge of real estate and the local and economic issues shaping market trends, but also to be educated on issues of concern when making important financial decisions about selling your home that could affect your ability to enjoy retirement as you dreamed.
VA Military Real Estate Specialist (VAMRES)
This certification prepares us with specific training in helping veterans and active duty military personnel buy and sell homes. The needs of those serving our nation are much different than typical households – frequent moves, moving across country far from friends and family, the strains of deployment and difficult schedules and access to VA financing. Finding housing near our local military bases may also be important for your family. This designation equips us to both understand the technicalities of the VA loan with ease, and have our fingers on the pulse of the housing market near JBLM.
