This week in real estate history

1938 NREJ Women's Council
(NAR Archives)
On June 4, 1919, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, recognizing women's right to vote. Nineteen years later, in 1938, the Women's Council of REALTORS® was established as an affiliate of NAR. The council was created to "afford women … a better opportunity for acquaintanceship; foster cooperation in the exchange of experience among its members; prompt discussion of the business problems of its members and unified effort in their solution; and encourage more education for women in the business through the establishment of local training groups and the attendance of women at national training conferences and institutes." Today, the Women's Council of REALTORS® has more than 9,000 members and 236 state and local councils.

As a Military Relocation Professional (MRP), I'm proud to help military families and veterans navigate the buying and selling process with confidence. 🇺🇸

Moving is never easy, especially when it comes with timelines, transitions, and the unique challenges that military families often face. This designation allows me to better serve those who serve our country by understanding the benefits, resources, and strategies that can help make the process smoother.

Grateful for the opportunity to continue growing and providing the highest level of service to every client I work with.

Most buyers don't know what ABR means. Here's why it matters to you.
The ABR® (Accredited Buyer's Representative) designation isn't just a credential on a business card. It's specialized training in exactly what it takes to represent a buyer's best interests through every step of a transaction.
Here's what that means for you:
Fiduciary duty — I am legally and ethically required to put your interests first. Always.
Negotiation expertise — trained specifically in buyer representation, so you have someone fighting for your best outcome at the table.
Market knowledge — understanding what a home is actually worth, not just what it's listed for.
Full-process guidance — from your first search to closing day, and everything in between.
When you work with an ABR®, you're not just hiring an agent. You're hiring an advocate.
Ready to make your move? Call or text me at 859.536.0666 — I'm ready when you are.
