Oregon Real Estate Queen

Have you ever wondered what those letters after a REALTOR’S®  name really mean. Those letters are not meant to make a REALTOR® seem unnecessarily important. The letters are indicators that a particular REALTOR® has completed extra coursework to better assist buyers and sellers. The coursework is offered to REALTORS® in conjunction with the National Association of REALTORS® and State Association of REALTORS®.

The Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation is an extremely important designation as it indicates the designee has taken and successfully completed 90 hours of coursework to better help their clients. The coursework is the foundation upon which the most successful REALTORS® build their base of knowledge and advance their ability to competently assist their clients. When you select a REALTOR® with the GRI designation you can confidently know that your REALTOR® is armed with the skills and knowledge on topics ranging from marketing and servicing listed properties to real estate law.

As not only a holder of the GRI but a certified instructor for Homebuyer Education by the Homeowner Education Collaborative of Oregon, I am uniquely positioned to provide the competent service you deserve. In addition to being a licensed REALTOR® since graduating from the Real Estate School of Oregon in 1993 with an emphasis in real estate practices, finance, and law, my involvement with the Springfield Board of REALTORS® and being the President-elect of the Lane County Women’s Council of REALTORS® places me at the nexus of Springfield and Lane County, Oregon real estate.
