EXCELLENCE OF A Higher DegreeI believe a client should know an agent's credentials before deciding with whom to work during such a major process as buying or selling a home. I am a fulltime BROKER, a licensing step above real estate agent. I earned the Accredited Buyer's Agent designation, certified as such by the National Association of REALTORS only after completion of specialized training, comprehensive testing, and verified experience. In addition, I earned the Graduate REALTOR Institute designation after successfully completing 90 hours of classes specified by the NAR. More than mere initials to go after my name, these designations are important to you; because they prove that I am an agent who takes my responsibilities very seriously, going far beyond the basic training required by law to better serve my clients' needs: EXCELLENCE OF A Higher DegreeI have an assistant (my daughter) who is also a licensed REALTOR. We both have bachelor and master's college degrees. My husband recently retired from teaching and has now joined our real estate practice, as well. In 2012, I opened my own independent brokerage, Riverbend Realty. Prior to that, I earned a number of Century 21 awards including Century 21's top award, Centurion Producer (2009 through 2011), as well as the local board's Pinnacle Award for sales volume. EXCELLENCE OF A Higher Degree is our motto, but it is also the way we do business!
