LOIS VAN HALEM OF COLDWELL BANKER MADISON FURTHERS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION WITH BROKER PRICE OPINION RESOURCE CERTIFICATION

MADISON, NJ – Lois Van Halem, sales associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Madison, has earned the nationally-recognized Broker Price Opinion Resource (BPOR) certification offered by the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

Van Halem is a Florham Park resident with 16 years of experience serving homebuyers and sellers in Morris County and surrounding areas. She complements her vast knowledge of local communities with continuous training such as BPOR. This certification represents her continuing goal to further her professional education in order to best serve her real estate clients and customers.

According to NAR, evaluating properties depends more than ever on professional expertise and competence, the best use of technology, and a commitment to approach the valuation assignment from all pertinent perspectives. Realtors who have completed the BPOR certification possess the knowledge and skills to reduce risk and increase opportunities by creating professional and accurate Broker Price Opinion (BPOs) property evaluations.

NAR states: “According to industry estimates, more than 10 million BPOs are performed annually throughout the country. BPOs provide critical information for decisions, and have been widely adopted as a valuation tool in the mortgage industry and – increasingly – for government programs intended to aid the economy and help homeowners avoid foreclosure.”

“Lois has amassed a wealth of experience during her career in real estate, and never tires of keeping ahead of the latest trends in order to provide superior service,” said Jeff Fellers, branch vice president of Coldwell Banker in Madison.
