Constantly Learning as Real Estate Markets Change

Education is a very important part of being a Real Estate Agent. My husband, Gary Smith, and I have been taking advantage of this "Slow Market" by completing education that we wouldn't normally have time for during out Busy Markets of the past several years. I have recently completed the coursework to get my E-Pro Designation and this has taught me so much about internet marketing and helpful tools to get in order to show my properties off in their best possible light as well as help our buyers & sellers by making things much more convenient. I also completed my education to get my SC Real Estate Broker's License and have passed my LLR State examinations. Currently I am working on getting my RSPS (Resort & Second Home Specialist) Designation which many of our buyers & sellers will benefit from. Both Gary and I are Accredited Buyer Representatives (ABR) and use many tools to help buyers with full representation. I would have to say that our BIGGEST accomplishment was that my husband, Gary Smith, has completed his course work to get his US Coast Guard Boat Captain's License and passed the final exam with flying colors. He is currently taking mandatory CPR classes and leaves this weekend for Charleston to take his coursework to obtain his Master's Captain License. This is quite an accomplishment and I am very proud of him!
