Paul Silverman, Houston Realtor with Our First Nest Realty has earned his tenth real estate designation, the Certified Negotiation Expert. Designees that earn this title complete a 2 day course on the advantages of collaborative negotiation and how to access the buyer s or sellers strongest position in a real estate transaction. Paul Joins only 122 others in the Houston area to achieve this designation. “I think this is one of the most overlooked areas for training by Realtors” says Silverman, “Most people want a great deal but their agents have no way to accurately access their negotiating power other than trying to get a “low ball” offer accepted. The process is more about gathering knowledge than throwing out an offer.”

Silverman adds this to his list of other designations including Master, Institute of Residential Marketing, GREEN Resource Council, Accredited Buyers Representative, Certified Green Building Professional, Certified New Home Sales Counselor, Certified New Home Marketing Professional, Senior Real Estate Specialist, At Home with Diversity, and e-Pro Certified.

“Each of my designations become useful depending on the type of Real Estate transaction and it is a pleasure to be able to put my education to use to help find new homes in Houston for my clients.”
