Leatherman Brokers Ford & Kirby Make REALTORS® Commitment to Excellence

Florence, South Carolina – Vonda Sellers Ford and Amy McCalman Kirby, real estate Brokers with ERA Leatherman Realty,  have earned the REALTORS® Commitment to Excellence Endorsement from the National Association of Realtors®. The Endorsement goes to Realtors® who have demonstrated knowledge and competency in 10 core areas of real estate practice:

5. Equal service to all (Article 10 of the Code)
6. Advocacy of real property ownership
7. Trust and integrity
8. Use of Technology

10. Areas of practice

The C2EX Endorsement, available only to Realtors®, is earned through a self-directed program that enables users to assess and build on their competency in each of the core areas. Launched in November 2018, this innovative program sets the standard for what it means to be a professional in the real estate brokerage business.

As Realtors®, we are only as strong as our cumulative value of our brand. NAR’s efforts to boost professionalism not only strengthen NAR and help our 1.5 million members better navigate the market, but they’re tremendously valuable to home buyers and sellers, as well.

America is experiencing a roughly 6-million-unit housing shortage, pushing homeownership out of reach for too many families.   U.S. consumers count on Realtors® to help ensure real estate remains available, accessible, and affordable for them. And we’re so proud of NAR members like Vonda Sellers Ford and Amy McCalman Kirby for solidifying the commitment to ensuring their clients and consumers everywhere can access their American dream of home and property ownership.

The National Association of Realtors® is America’s largest trade association, representing over 1.5 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.
