Warburg broker to help oversee REBNY residential credential program

Shirley Hackel, an executive managing director at Warburg Realty, has been named a chair of the New York Residential Specialist Program with the Real Estate Board of New York, according to Warburg. In her new role, Hackel will help oversee the NYRS certification program, a 30-hour continuing education class that identifies graduates as experts in the residential field. Only agents who have five years or more experience in the field and have completed upwards of $50 million in sales transactions (or $17 million in rental transactions) are eligible for the program, which was launched in 2007. Hackel said that she hopes to increase the NYRS program’s profile in her new role. “The NYRS program is still in its infancy,” Hackel said. “I’m delighted… to embrace the challenge of not only maintaining our standards but also raising awareness for the credential among consumers.” TRD
