Amanda Hill, a broker associate at Bray Real Estate in Grand Junction, has earned the Certified Residential Specialist designation from the Council of Residential Specialists.

To received the designation, real estate professionals must complete advanced training and demonstrate achievement in residential sales. Less than 3 percent of Realtors nationwide have earned the credential.

“Earning my CRS designation will allow me to serve my clients better,” Hill said. “I learned expert techniques on negotiating the best price and terms for buyers and how to bring in a higher sales price for my sellers. In this fast-paced real estate environment, it’s very important to use the best tools and techniques, and this designation helps me provide a smoother transition for all my clients.”

Bray Real Estate operates offices at 1015 N. Seventh St. For more information, call 242-3647 or visit the Web site at www.brayandcosearch.com.
