San Ramon, CA., July 17, 2007 – RISMEDIA, July 17 2007—Connecting
Neighbors, a division of Reply! Inc. announced its newly formed partnership with
RealtyU for its Certified Neighborhood Specialist (CNS) course and designation.
The CNS course, launched earlier this month by RealtyU, coaches real estate professionals
on methods for researching valuable neighborhood information to assist home buying
or selling clients in making informed decisions.
Connecting Neighbors provides real estate professionals, including Certified Neighborhood
Specialists, a way to share their local expertise with residents through its neighborhood
marketing programs. Each Connecting Neighbors program, including a ‘Neighborhood
Web site’, newsletter and marketing support, is sponsored exclusively by
a local real estate professional, known as the ‘Neighborhood Expert.’
“The Connecting Neighbors program and Certified Neighborhood Specialist
designation align very closely,” says Bill Miles, Connecting Neighbors EVP.
“Knowing the details of a neighborhood is crucial for our Members to deliver
top quality service to their residents and clients. The CNS course allows our
Members to further increase their value as the Neighborhood Expert by gaining
a more in-depth knowledge of the communities they serve.”
The CNS course offers real estate agents a strong understanding of community activities
and services, as well as exploring HOA rules and regulations that impact home
transactions and estimated values. In addition, the extensive eight-hour course
teaches professionals how to research community, demographic, zoning and future
development information for their individual neighborhoods.
“Real estate professionals completing the CNS course will learn a variety
of methods to research intimate neighborhood details,” says Allen Wright,
co-author of the CNS program. “The comprehensive information taught in the
course is vital for agents so they can assist their clients in making the best
decisions when buying or selling a home. The CNS designation is a natural fit
for Connecting Neighbors Members branding themselves as Neighborhood Experts.”
Connecting Neighbors is offering scholarships toward the cost of the course to
its current and future Members.
