CRS– The Certified Residential Specialist® Designation, or CRS, is the hallmark of success in residential real estate. REALTORS® who have earned this credential did so by completing extensive training and by demonstrating significant experience in managing real estate transactions. Less than 3 percent of the more than 1 million REALTORS ® working today can call themselves a CRS Designee. This group represents the elite performers in residential real estate.



SFR – In 2010, I earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification, SFR. The SFR certification is for REALTORS® who want to help both buyers and sellers navigate these complicated transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows. REALTORS® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.



GRI – New technology, laws, procedures and the increasing sophistication of buyers & sellers require real estate practitioners to perform at an ever-increasing level of professionalism. It’s important that you work with an agent who has a keen understanding of the real estate business. I earned the GRI designation. I am among the best and the brightest in the industry who have achieved that level of understanding.
