Hard work and determination has led to SEVEN of the agents at Gerken & Associates earning their Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) Designation! Nearly half of the CRS Designated Realtors® in Branson are now right here under one umbrella at Gerken & Associates, the firm that has been assisting buyers and sellers in the Tri-Lakes area for over 40 years.
Ron Holloway, Brent Sager, Jon Holloway, Jeff Gerken, Rachel Gerken, Charlie Gerken, and Yulia Gerken have each completed advanced professional training and demonstrated outstanding professional achievement in residential real estate. Only 29,000 Realtors® nationwide have earned this credential. They represent only 3% of the Realtor® community but do 40% of the business in the United States.
Home Buyers and sellers can be assured that CRS Designees subscribe to the strict Realtor® code of ethics, have been trained to use the latest tactics and technologies, and are specialists in helping clients maximize profits and minimize costs when buying or selling a home.
When asked the main benefits for taking CRS courses Realtor® Ron Holloway replied, “It’s important to keep up with the latest trends in the real estate industry and CRS courses are a great way to do that. They teach you how to run your business in a more efficient and effective manner that in turn provides outstanding first class service to your clients. We learn from top agents across the country and exchange ideas with one another. It’s also great that our firm contributes with the cost of additional education. They cheer on every agent within the firm that strives to take their education to the next level and be the best of the best.”
