I was recently awarded the prestigious Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) Designation by the Council of Residential Specialists, the largest not-for-profit affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS. 

REALTORS who receive the CRS Designation have completed advanced courses and have demonstrated professional expertise in the field of residential real estate.  The CRS Designees are an elite group with less than 4% of REALTORS nationwide earning the designation.   

Home buyers and sellers can be assured that CRS Designees subscribe to the strict REALTOR code of ethics, have access to the latest technology and are specialists in helping clients maximize profits and minimize costs when buying or selling a home.

Forbes magazine recently examined census information to determine which states had the largest year to year increases in population.  The states where jobs are plentiful are the ones that are growing the fastest.  North Carolina was the 4th in the country in population increase.  This is such a great place to live, I am not surprised!  To learn more about Wilmington real estate contact me at 910-431-9395 or visit my website at www.livingbythecoast.com.
