Minnetonka, MN

Back in late October of 2009, I got a phone call from Regina Ludes, a staff writer with The Residential Specialist magazine. Regina told me she was putting together an article on the different ways that some agents promote the CRS Designation to the public and to others in the real estate industry. Regina requested an interview and a couple days later, we spent about forty-five minutes chatting over the phone.

Regina's article appears in the newly-released January - February 2010 issue of the Residential Specialist magazine. Please click on the photo below to read the full article.

The article is entitled "Letter Perfect - CRSs Find Unique Ways to Promote the Designation to Clients and Agents". Among the quotes from our interview that Regina included in her article was a comment I made about how we promote the CRS Designation in our Wayzata Lakes Realty company newsletter. She wrote,

"The response from clients has been "gratifying," Kodner says. "I expect clients to see the newsletter, but clients have written back to me and said things like, ‘It's great to see that you're doing something that other agents aren't doing".

[I especially want to thank Council of Residential Specialists Communications Editor Regina Ludes and her Managing Editor for approving my link to Regina's article]
