Realtors earn special Tahoe certification
With the intent of providing a higher level of service to South Lake Tahoe home buyers and sellers,
South Tahoe Association of Realtors created the area specialist certification program for its
members.
To achieve the certification, a licensed Realtor must demonstrate sufficient knowledge regarding the following local agencies and industries:
- TRPA
- Homeowner insurance
- Building department
- California Tahoe Conservancy
- Vacation rentals
- South Tahoe Refuse
- South Tahoe Public Utility District
- Fire district.
After each presentation, a test is given. To qualify for the certificate, which has been approved
by the California Association of Realtors, one must pass with at least an 80 percent accuracy rate. The
certificate is valid for two years.
The following is a roster of Realtors who earned the certification last month: Molly Allen, Shelia Asselin, Daniel Bartley, Pamela Belli, Pamela Bettencourt, Molly Blann, Gary Bolen, Veronique Borges, Anja Buchholz, Carol Butler, Richard Cappel, Andria Cawelti, Angela Clark, Ken Daley, Nanda Dozier, Cassandra DeLaurentis, Diane Dickert, David Fischer, Michael Flanagan, Jennifer Fortune, Darlene Fritts, Ken Garber, Monroe Herington, Brooke Hernandez, Sam Holmes, Vicki Inferrera, Margarete Kallerman, Joe King, Marc Lasater, Davey Paiva, Daniel Resendiz Rodriguez, Jessica Seifert, Linda Szendrey, Monika Taboada, Jill Teakell, Jarred Uppendahl, Jacqueline Vallier, Jeffrey Waldie, Ronald “Flip” Walker, Jackie Weaver, Tracy Wood and Erin Yohnka.
Good idea, but there’s an important omission: USFS Cabin Program. Lots of unique details in selling and purchasing, and failure to address those details is resulting in lawsuits.
Know Bears, we agree! We invited the USFS to participate this year and they were unavailable. One of our volunteer leaders is communicating with them off line and we hope to have a separate class or at least information that we can disseminate.
