Why Hire a CRS

Len's personal opinion on the importance of CRS

I believe CRS is the best designation for a Realtor to have. When I see a CRS designation it immediately tells me the following things about the agent:  They are experienced in the real estate industry, serious about their business, work full-time and are very well qualified. The criteria to accomplish this honored designation is not easy and one must set a goal to achieving it because the process is difficult and very time consuming. I believe the CRS designation gives me an advantage over other Realtors when it comes to assisting you with your real estate needs. When referring clients to an out-of-town Realtor, I will ONLY use the one with a CRS designation.

Council of Residential Specialists:  What's a CRS

The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is the highest Designation awarded to sales associates in the residential sales field. The CRS Designation recognizes professional accomplishments in both experience and education.

Since 1977 the Council of Residential Specialists has been conferring the CRS Designation on agents who meet its stringent requirements. Currently, there are more than 33,000 active CRS Designees.

Real Estate Tips

Zoning Laws >Remodeling and Permits

Obtaining the proper permits when remodeling can be a critical element in the process. Many homeowners are unaware of the local building codes and zoning laws governing renovations. Disregarding these laws may result in fines, and in some cases you may even be asked to demolish the work that has been done.

When remodeling you have to go through the process of obtaining the proper permits. Zoning laws protect homeowners and cover issues such as the size of setbacks (distance between buildings and property lines), the height of buildings and occupancy. State and local building codes deal primarily with life and safety issues (insulation, smoke detectors, plumbing, electrical wiring, etc.) In order to satisfy these regulations you must submit information showing the project complies with the laws.

When plans do not conform they are sent to the Zoning Board of Appeals. There the homeowner, accompanied by an architect or attorney, presents his case at a public hearing. Usually the board tries to work with you in compromising with what you would like to do and what is best for the neighborhood.
