Mar. 7, 2009 - I've finally earned my CRS Designaton

Last year I set out to complete my CRS Designation. Meeting the requirements to become a Certified Residential Specialist in the field of REAL ESTATE is not an easy task, but definitely achievable. Now that I am through with my classes I will still continue to take the CRS Courses. They are absolutely fantastic!!

Before attending my final class I googled the instructors name here on Active Rain and found out Jackie Leavenworth is a real pro!

After two fantastic days in her classroom, now I know why! She is a funny, energetic, well rounded and experienced REALTOR. From the class LISTING STRATEGIES for the RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST, she taught practical and up to date techniques for Listing and Selling Homes in today's Turbulant Market.

Here is a quick video I took when we were in class. Jackie says we all have "inner Parrots" that talk to us and she was trying to make sure that we quiet our inner parrots. It was absolutely hysterical!

I plan to implement several Strategies into our current Marketing Plan that will benefit my clients including the shopping cart, QMA, and other ideas. Coach Jackie calls them "Jackieisms".

I encourage you to consider furthering your education in the field of REAL ESTATE - check out the CRS Class offerings and especially classes taught by Coach Jackie !

The most coveted and highest professional designation awarded to REALTORS in the residential sales field.

LESS THAN 4 % of all REALTORS hold the CRS Designation !

Now I'm off to Facebook to post a testimonial on Jackie's wall!!
