Cheri Shehane, a sales agent with Long & Foster Real Estate’s Hanover sales office, has earned the Certified Residential Specialist designation. Long & Foster is the largest privately-owned residential real estate company in the United States.

Awarded by the Council of Residential Specialists, an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors, the CRS designation recognizes that Shehane is an expert in working within the residential market using a variety of proven tools such as networking to deliver the highest quality and professional service possible to today’s homebuyers and sellers.

“Cheri took the time to invest in herself so that she could better represent her clients. There is no greater importance than earning a designation and the Certified Residential Specialist is one that requires so much more than classroom study. It is about her involvement and dedication to the industry,” said Claire Forcier-Rowe, manager of the Hanover office. “I am thrilled for Cheri and know that her clients will be better served.”
