* MRP (Military Relocation Professional)
Why Use an MRP?
A REALTOR® with the MRP certification has the knowledge and skills for working with veterans and active duty military buyers and sellers to ensure that home-ownership remains affordable and accessible.
When military staff and their families relocate, the services of a real estate professional who understands their needs and timetables makes the transfer easier, faster, and less stressful. This certification focuses on educating real estate professionals about working with current and former military service members to find the housing solutions that best suit their needs and take full advantage of military benefits and support.
Homeownership is an important part of the fabric of America, and having a stable home environment is vital when men and women of the military are called away to serve their country. That’s why working with a REALTOR®who understands their specific needs and timetable will help make the transfer easier, faster and less stressful.
I am ready to help market your property or assist you in your home buying process!
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
