February 11, 2006

BROOMFIELD - Sue Pratt, a Broker Associate with the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office at Interlocken in Broomfield, has earned the Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS) certification from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The prestigious certification is awarded to real estate professionals upon the successful completion of a stringent education-based program comprised of two core courses and two electives. Realtors who earn the RSPS certification have distinguished themselves amongst their peers and amongst consumers as specialists in the resort and second-home markets around the world.

The NAR currently defines a Realtor specializing in resort and second-home markets as a "real estate practitioner who facilitates the buying, selling, or management of properties for investment, development, retirement, or second homes in a resort, recreational and/or vacation destination." In addition to the RSPS certification, Pratt holds several other special certifications that place her among the upper echelon of highly skilled real estate professionals.

Sue Pratt earned her real estate license in 1977 and is a member of the Boulder Board of Realtors. She serves the real estate needs of customers in Boulder, Superior, Longmont, Niwot, Louisville, Lafayette, Broomfield, Jamestown, and the high country above Boulder. Pratt holds an Associate Arts degree from Mount Vernon College of Washington, D.C. and a B.A. degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. In addition to the RSPS certification, she holds several additional special certifications recognizing the successful completion of stringent education courses in real estate. Pratt is actively involved in numerous community organizations and supports a wealth of charitable events and foundations. A resident of Boulder County for more than 37 years, she provides her clients with uncompromised service in residential and commercial real estate, investment properties, relocation services, loans and much more. Pratt enjoys tennis, golf, skiing, the theatre, her two sons, and collecting antique mechanical banks.

"The RSPS certification is particularly important for Realtors who work in vacation destination states such as Colorado," said Pratt. "With enhanced knowledge of the resort and second-home markets, RSPS designees can provide a higher level of service, and consumers (buyers and sellers) enjoy a higher level of confidence when working with an RSPS professional. I am very focused on continuing education in all areas of real estate, which is one of the outstanding attributes of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. It is definitely the best real estate company on the globe."
