Designations Create Distinctions: Agent News You Can Use Right now

Solving Problems. Driving Dreams. Creating Strategies. Realizing Results. Yes, real estate agents, I see you and I know these are the things you are doing right now to help both buyers and sellers succeed. This market is definitely one that can put us each in ‘survive’ rather than ‘thrive’ mode, but I want to encourage each of you to remember why you are doing this & who you are helping. The meaning matters. 😉

If you have earned one or more NAR® real estate designations, I want to remind you that those foundations are your fast track. It is easy to forget amidst this market madness that you have an accessible set of exclusive resources and a like-minded peer network at your fingertips. Use it!

If you have not earned a designation, but would like to, now is the time to map out what distinction you want to have by the end of the year. Keep checking back here as well as your local real estate association for upcoming opportunities, and feel free to let my team know if you need help deciding which designation would benefit you the most.

Last but not least, here are a few recent reads that provide tips specific to the market we are in. If your sellers have questions about market timing or preparing a home for sale, the top two articles will be helpful to you. If you have buyers that wish the market would cool or are struggling with making the leap from looking into offer writing, the bottom two articles are most applicable to your situation. (I also MUST add here that the Accredited Buyer’s Designation is a game-changer with regards to client commitment!)
