Sales Associate Sally Hickey of ERA Landmark and Brokers Jon Ellen Snyder and Gillian Swanson of ERA Landmark Western Land have been awarded the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation from the Real Estate Negotiation Institute (RENI). The ERA associates earned the CNE designation after successfully completing formal negotiation training over two days during the ERA International Business Conference in Los Angeles on March 24-26. Agents who receive this certification are among the top agents in the country in negotiation skills.

With professional negotiation skills, agents are able to help clients obtain better results in the sale or purchase of their homes. CNE agents have a higher skill level which enables them to 1) communicate more effectively to uncover desired information, 2) help clients understand their options, 3) work collaboratively with others, and 4) resolve deadlocks. CNE agents have a thorough understanding of how to negotiate effectively to help achieve their client’s goals.   

CEO and Co-Founder of the Real Estate Negotiation Institute Tom Hayma said, “Any Buyer or Seller who hires a CNE agent can feel confident they have one of the best-trained negotiators in real estate. They should achieve superior results and have better resolution of all issues when represented by a CNE agent.”
