What all those ‘letters’ after my name mean, & why they're important to you.

• Letters after my name indicate a high level of education, professionalism, and commitment.

  MB stands for Managing Broker. Requirements for earning this designation include at least 3 years of experience as a real estate sales person and broker, 90 additional hours of approved real estate course work, and passing an examination. With 35 years of experience and two advanced degrees, I have met or exceeded all of those requirements. Brokers without the Managing Broker designation need no real estate experience, only 120 hours of approved real estate course work (which can be taken over the internet), and they have to pass a test. This is less than what is required for your local barber!
