New Years Eve ended on a good note with a Real Estate Hat Trick:) -1. a NEW Listing (see our next blog post) 2. a BPO and 3. this Real Estate Closing!
With a verbal offer in only 18 days on the Market and our positive experiences with Reverse Offers this year, we put a Reverse Counteroffer in writing to the Buyers agent to present to the buyers and 32 days later we closed!
We've invited the out of town REALTOR, CRS, who contacted us with this listing lead to AR. He found us on Grace Safrin's CRS WEBSITE.
Consumers who have a lifelong REALTOR will ask them for a referral if they own out of town properties.
Certified Residential Specialists are a part of a network of worldwide designees who hold a coveted designation that only a small percentage of Agents achieve. If you are looking for a REALTOR for your future Real Estate Transaction, you may want to consider what a CRS offers.....before you choose!

Hi Jeff & Grace! Funny but, I started out on a very similar note and it just came out of the blue! Also, I finished up one of my qualifying CRS courses today (online) and will have my last course in March. I wish they'd let you use more than one designation as part of the qualification so I could have this completed already!
Happy New Year to you both and here's hoping that you have THE best year EVER!
Congrats Debe that's awesome!
Of all the designations, I picked this one because it has the most defined criteria not only for educatonal courses, but for proof of production(sales) - after all, what good is education without applying it and seeing performance results :)
thanks kindly for the New years wishes and the same to you as well!!!
Sincerely,
Grace
Jeff & Grace~Congrats on your successful referral and closing. Education pays off and CRS was one that I completed years ago and many referrals also through the years.
Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year.
Jeff and Grace:
I too just became a CRS this year. It is a great accomplishment and am happy I did it. Good Luck!!
Hello Dona - it's good to hear that you've rec/d many referrals throughout the years from other CRS's! Thank you for sharing your experience. A very happy healthy new year to you as well. We will keep you in mind for any St. Joe Missouri relo's :)
Sincerely,
Grace
Congrats Kathy - I just finished myself in Spring and can relate to your happy feeling - I will keep you in mind for Wilmington, NC relo's :) Thanks for taking your time to stop by and comment.
Sincerely,
Grace
Congrats! By the way, hope you enjoyed your stay at Tahoe.
We had an awesome time Catherine, & God willing plan to go back to take in some summer recreation & golf someday. I'd have a hard time concentraing on biz everyday with such breath taking daily distractions LOL - thanks for taking time to stop by & comment.
Sincerely,
Grace
