We stand on the shoulders of giants!

February 9, 2007 by idxcentral Leave a Comment


We’re privileged to network and learn from the best real estate agents and trainers in the industry.

Carol & I have both received the prestigious Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation. There are over 1,000,000 real estate agents in the United States and fewer than 4% have passed the stringent qualifications to be Certified as a CRS.

I had the honor to speak on Real Estate Technology at the annual CRS Convention last week; today Carol & I drove to Napa to attend our Northern California CRS Meeting.

Dr. Bernice L. Ross, Real Estate Coach, is one of the finest real estate coaches in the industry is (I’m using my wireless connection to write this from the meeting) our featured speaker.

Bernice writes the weekly real estate agent column for Inman News Features. Brad Inman, who I’ve known for years, dubbed Bernice “America’s top real estate coach”

It was a mutual admiration society!

Bernice autographed her book for me… and I gave her an autographed copy of my new book “How To Get The Best Deal When Selling Your Home – San Francisco Bay Area Edition”.


That’s actually a photo on our house in Berkeley on the cover!

She wrote “Dear Ira, You are one of the most innovative and forward thinking agents in the business. Kudos to you! Have an awesome 2007!

Thank you Bernice… it’s a delight to know you!

Ira
