“The Institute has one of the highest standards for the definition of ‘luxury’ within the residential real estate market. Agents who earn and hold our CLHMS designation are proven and experienced real estate professionals working the upper-tier,” said Amanda Hammer, Director of Membership at The Institute. “Affluent buyers and sellers should seek out sales professionals who have this designation and be confident that they have the specialized expertise and experience to successfully represent them in their residential real estate transactions.”

“I am committed to providing tailored service while delivering exceptional results. We do this by thinking outside of the typical stereotypes of real estate & try to come up with smarter ways to sell homes” said Hillman. “Taking this class allowed me to explore what other markets are doing and take away some creative ideas for marketing niche-type homes. We create a lifestyle profile to make sure that we are targeting the right audiences.”
