South Puget Sound Realtor® Marti Reeder Earns CRS Designation

Online, May 26, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Realtor® Marti Reeder of John L. Scott has been awarded the CRS designation - Certified Residential Specialist - by the Council of Residential Specialists, an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors®. Reeder adds this designation to three others: Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Accredited Sellers Representative (ASR) and Certified Foreclosure Specialist (CFS).

The CRS designation is earned by exhibiting the highest standard of ethics, achieving a high level of professional experience and sales, managing residential transactions and maintaining strong technical skills to keep up with today's ever-changing real estate market.
