Hilary W. Foutes, a real estate agent with Sagan Harborside Sotheby’s International Realty, has earned the Realtors Commitment to Excellence Endorsement from the National Association of Realtors. The endorsement goes to realtors who have demonstrated knowledge and competency in 10 core areas of real estate practice: client service; professional reputation; real estate law; realtor code of ethics; equal service to all (Article 10 of the code); advocacy of real property ownership; trust and integrity; use of technology; data privacy; and areas of practice.
“America is experiencing a roughly 6-million-unit housing shortage, pushing homeownership out of reach for too many families,” NAR President Kenny Parcell said. “U.S. consumers count on realtors to help ensure real estate remains available, accessible, and affordable for them. And we’re so proud of NAR members like Hilary W. Foutes for solidifying the commitment to ensuring their clients and consumers everywhere can access their American dream of home and property ownership.”
The C2EX Endorsement, available only to realtors, is earned through a self-directed program that enables users to assess and build on their competency in each of the core areas. Launched in November 2018, this innovative program sets the standard for what it means to be a professional in the real estate brokerage business.
“As realtors, we are only as strong as our cumulative value of our brand,” Parcell continued. “NAR’s efforts to boost professionalism not only strengthen NAR and help our 1.5 million members better navigate the market, but they’re tremendously valuable to home buyers and sellers, as well.
Sagan Harborside Sotheby’s International Realty explains, “We are so proud of Hilary for her exemplary commitment to education. She is passionate about working with buyers and sellers and has long believed that staying educated allows her to continually provide an exceptional experience to her clients.”
The National Association of Realtors is America’s largest trade association, representing more than 1.5 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. Foutes has also been nominated by the 2024 North Shore Realtor leadership to join the Homebuyer Education Committee.
