Also awarded by the National Association of Realtors, the Military Relocation Professional designation recognizes that Batiste has completed studies to learn how to help current and former members of the military with housing. Individuals who receive their MRP designation can help military service members to search for housing that best meets their needs while also benefiting from the various military offerings and support available to them.

“When I moved to Virginia over 20 years ago, I was a military spouse in need of support with relocating from Alabama. In my experience it was extremely helpful to have someone cater to the military population and assist with my relocation needs. Now I have the pleasure to offer my assistance to military families by becoming MRP certified,” Batiste said.
