Laugh2 Assistant Earns Professional Certificate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Vanessa Lindsay

ASSISTANT EARNS PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE

Georgetown, ON — October 22, 2008 — Vanessa Lindsay of NessLindsay.com has recently earned the Real Estate Professional Assistant Certificate, awarded by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.

All successful real estate brokers and agents know how important a good assistant is to their success. “The best investment of time and money,” says Martin Edwards, Jr., president of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, “just might be in a well-trained professional assistant. The REPA course can turn the right candidate for assistant - or any support position, for that matter - into an agent’s ‘right hand.’”

Understanding this, Lindsay took the two-day REPA certificate course to become familiar with the inner workings of the real estate industry, studying such topics as professional and ethical standards, local listing and sales procedures, and how to manage a real estate transaction.

To learn about the Real Estate Professional Assistant course, visit the website — www.professional-assistant.com

Hi Vanessa,

Congratulations! I wish you the best...

Did you take the course online? How was it and is it beneficial to your business? I have a real estate license but was thinking of getting REPA certified. I don't really want to be a realtor but would love to be assisting one behind the scenes.

Thanks!

Lori
