Marcia Kelly - Land Kansas Real Estate

Marcia Kelly, CRS, GRI, REALTOR®

How do you select a REALTOR®? How do you find a REALTOR® who will protect one of your most important investments--your home?

One of the many ways to do so is to determine a REALTOR®'s qualifications. All REALTORS® must go through "basic training," passing their initial classes to achieve or maintain their licenses. Very few continue their real estate educations once they receive their licenses.

Have you every wondered what all the letters after a REALTOR®'s name mean? What all the hoopla is about? More importantly , how will these letters affect you?

By employing a REALTOR® with these letters following her name, such as Marcia, you are almost always guaranteed to work with a REALTOR® with years of experience. Such a REALTOR® possesses many educational hours, learning the latest techniques & knowledge to aid you in our ever-changing market--a full-time REALTOR® who will help ease your worries and make your transaction a piece of cake!

Most importantly, hiring a REALTOR® who has spent hours in the classroom, like Marcia, is free, does not cost extra. In fact, hiring Marcia will probably save you money, time and worry!

MARCIA KELLY is a qualified and current member of the following associations:

	CRS--(CERTIFIED RESIDENTAL SPECIALIST) Earning a CRS designation equals achieving a "PhD" in residential real estate. Only 4 percent of REALTORS® in the country earn this designation. This achievement requires high sales volume, high numbers of real estate transactions, as well as advanced training & successfully passing examinations in some of the following areas: marketing, pricing, negotiating, closing techniques, financing, high-tech tools to better market properties, real estate tax implications and evaluation of investment property.
	GRI--(GRADUATE OF THE REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE) This designation is a requirement for ultimately achieving a CRS designation. It also requires a high sales volume and extensive study of real estate-related subjects.
	RECS--(REAL ESTATE CYBERSPACE SOCIETY) This membership benefits Marcia's clients because it gives her the technological tools to keep you ahead of the competition. RECS is an elite society of forward-thinking real estate professionals who harness the most current technology and connectivity to better serve their clients. Members network with other top real estate Cyber Pros. With these tools and knowledge, Marcia can better market your properties, save you time and money and help you to achieve your goals.
	NAR--(NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® You'll be able to achieve your real estate goals much more easily with an NAR member. As a member of this national organization. Marcia has sworn to conduct her business according to the strict Code of Ethics promulgated by NAR. She also will follow the NAR Fair Housing Program & ensure equal professional services for all people. The term REALTOR® indentifies a licensed, professional in real estate who belongs to the National Association of REALTORS®. Not all licensed real estate brokers or salespeople are members of the NAR. Thus, unlike Marcia, they do not receive the guidance & educational resources offered to NAR members. Working with members such as Marcia will guaranty you ethical & fair treatment, as well as the benifits of a highly-skilled agent. You will save time, money & unnecessary frustrations.

	EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY Marcia will make sure any discriminatory request from a home seller or landlord toward the sale, lease or rental of a property will not be fulfilled because she knows that such a request is not only against the law but unconscionable. She knows that agents in any real estate transaction are prohibited by law from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familiar status or national origin.
