Director - Board of RealtorsA REALTOR® is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. I am glad to play an important role in the Seattle King County Realtors from which I was elected by my peers for a 2 year term. I took this role on because I believe by having a voice for Realtors as well as Buyers & Sellers, that we may continue to work hand in hand through education and out-reach. Tricia Ackerman, G.R.I. Realtors who hold G.R.I.'s have taken at least 90 hours of "specialized" real estate related courses. Graduate Realtor Institute (G.R.I) is the designation awarded by state associations to members of the National Association of Realtors who successfully complete a predetermined course of study. Buying property is a complex and stressful task. In fact, it's often the biggest single investment you will make in your lifetime. At the same time, real estate transactions have become increasingly complicated. New technology, laws, procedures and the increasing sophisticaiton of buyers and sellers require real estate practioners to perform at an ever-increasing level of professionalism. * Nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate industry * Professionally trained * Knowledgeable * Dedicated to bringing you quality service
