Quincy Realtor earns At Home with Diversity certification after completing course

QUINCY — Jan Smith at Happel Inc., Realtors, recently was awarded the At Home with Diversity certification from the National Association of Realtors.

Smith joins 20,000 other real estate professionals in North America who have earned the certification after completing an eight-hour course addressing topics of diversity, fair housing and business planning development. The program is designed to meet the nation’s fair housing commitment by educating and equipping NAR’s members with the tools they need to expand home-ownership opportunities for the growing number of culturally diverse buyers and sellers in the housing market.

At Home with Diversity certification allows Realtors to not only apply the multi-faceted skills and tools they learned in the course to business practices but conveys to clients they’re dynamic real estate professionals with expertise that transcends cultural barriers.
