Technology is driving the real estate market. It is faster, more complex and more competitive in every way. Homebuyers shop the Internet, offers arrive by phone and mortgages are approved in the comfort of the living room.

"In this fast-paced market place, home buyers and sellers need more than just a REALTOR," said Toni Sherman, CRS. "Home buyers and sellers need a professional with unique training and know-how to create opportunities, identify potential pitfalls up front, and make the transaction an unqualified success. Home buyers and sellers need a Certified Residential Specialist."

Sherman, 1999 president of the Council of Residential Specialists, organization of the nation's top 5% of REALTORS, says REALTORS who hold the Certified Residential Specialist designation have experience, commitment and advanced training to help home buyers and sellers get the most out of their real estate transaction.

Sherman lists five reasons home buyers and sellers should work with a CRS:

1. Your time is valuable! Let me save you TIME!

2. I'm likely to sell your home for MORE MONEY due to the greater exposure I offer (many sellers even NET more after our fee)!

3. A 3rd party(Realtor) can obtain the prospect's TURE OPINIONS of your home and relay those comments to you!

4. You'll know the buyer is a QUALIFIED one, not just a looker!

5. You don't need to personally open up your home to STRANGERS!

6. You can SAVE YOUR MONEY by not haveing to advertise your own home!

7. You can be professionally represented by someone that can be held ACCOUNTABLE for all the details!
