CENTENNIAL – The South Metro Denver REALTOR® Association (SMDRA) has announced the association’s recipients of the SMART Designation.  The South Metro Advanced REALTOR® Training Designation (SMART) is designed to reward and provide recognition to SMDRA REALTOR® members who exceed continuing education requirements as set forth by the Colorado Real Estate Commission.

Available exclusively to SMDRA REALTOR® members, the SMART designation is awarded to those who have earned at least 24 SMART points over a calendar year.  Points were awarded to classes, including those that did not qualify for Continuing Education credit, and attendance was tracked throughout the year.

“SMART is part of a larger effort to a commitment of excellence that sets the REALTOR® brand apart,” said Melissa Maldonado, Chief Executive Officer of SMDRA.  “Our association is dedicated to the pursuit of higher standards for all of our REALTOR® members.  The designation is a reward for our members who go above and beyond the minimum education requirements.  At SMDRA, we believe that all industry related education is vital to our members’ careers, and the more you learn the more you earn.”
