Licenses + Memberships

The foundation.

What I'm legally licensed and bound to do.

Managing Broker

Colorado Division of Real Estate

Highest individual real estate license in Colorado. Supervises associate brokers, manages transaction compliance, accountable for office practices.

National Association of REALTORS®

Member of NAR. Bound to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics — a higher standard than Colorado's minimum legal duty of fair dealing.

MLS Member

Full MLS access for El Paso, Teller, and Douglas counties. Live data on every active, pending, and sold listing in the region.

Call It Closed International Realty

Brokerage affiliation

Affiliated with CIC — virtual brokerage model with national reach (500+ agents, 24 states). I run the Colorado Springs branch + recruit + train CIC agents in Colorado.

NAR-Certified Designations · 5 earned

Where I went above the baseline.

Most agents have one designation or none. These are five separate specialization tracks the National Association of REALTORS® audited and certified — each one a real curriculum, real exam, real continuing education requirement.

ABR

Accredited Buyer's Representative

Specialized training on fiduciary duty to buyers — negotiation tactics, market analysis, contract advocacy, and conflict-of-interest protections.

GRI

Graduate, REALTOR® Institute

The most comprehensive REALTOR® curriculum. 60+ hours covering law, contracts, finance, technology, and ethics. Held by fewer than 20% of agents.

MRP

Military Relocation Professional

PCS-specific training: timeline pressure, VA loan mechanics, base proximity factors, BAH calculations, and out-of-state coordination.

SRS

Seller Representative Specialist

Advanced listing-side training: pricing methodology, marketing strategy, negotiation under inspection objection, and post-list management.

PSA

Pricing Strategy Advisor

Deep-dive CMA training. How appraisers, lenders, and the market actually weight comps — and how to price for both maximum sale and minimum days on market.

What this actually means for your transaction

Authority + accountability, in plain English.

  • Buyer representation with fiduciary duty (ABR-certified)
  • Seller representation with full pricing analysis (SRS + PSA-certified)
