I was checking out the Modesto Bee headlines this morning, and I noticed that one of our agents made the BizLines for this week. Our own Carol Robertson from our Carpenter office has won the designation of Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). Fewer than 38,000 real estate agents nationwide have earned the credential which includes extensive training above and beyond professional real estate training.

Congratulations Carol!

Today was the first day of Floyd Wickman training at PMZ University in Modesto. I stopped by to check out what was going on, shoot some pictures and take a little video.

PMZ agents were highly motivated keeping their trainer on his toes.

If you want to see what I saw, check out our MySpace or Facebook photo albums and videos.

Thanks to Jill Minerva for the tip!
