Crye-Leike Agent Betty Treherne-Harris Receives Her Tennessee Broker License
Many indicators now suggest Nashville’s housing market is on the way up. In a similar fashion many Realtors are charging upward with greater optimism. Some, like Crye-Leike’s Betty Treherne-Harris, have upped their game during the housing downturn with enhanced real estate education and advancement within the industry.
“I made it a goal in 2010 to finally become a Broker in Tennessee with the advanced education and knowledge that you need to have in today’s housing market,” said Betty. “The extra know-how is also something today’s clients expect too.”
Betty enrolled in the Broker program based on both an inner desire to challenge herself and to have the credentials and the knowledge to pursue and achieve other goals in the sometimes volatile housing industry.
“This past year my business was affected by first time homebuyers, flood zones, short sales and fabricated homes that no bank would consider for loans, investors and credit report issues,” said Betty. “Just as important as my having answers – is knowing whose job it is to provide updated and correct information to my clients.”
To maintain her new Broker license, Betty must now commit to many more hours of advanced education each year… many more than was previously required.
“There is so much to know in real estate and the process of learning is ongoing,” said Betty. “This need to know is what keeps my fires burning for this industry.”
Betty offers a special thanks to her mentors – many of them Brokers – who were instrumental in her success and who Betty says stressed the importance of goal setting.
“I believe that this respect for education is what makes my fellow Brokers not only successful but excellent real estate agents and role models,” said Betty. “With tax credits, low home prices and great interest rates all still in play – sales are improving in 2010 and in my opinion the market as a whole is on its way up.”
