New York Residential Specialists Elects New Members

New York—New York Residential Specialists (NYRS), the REBNY-certified program that recognizes top NYC residential real estate agents with the highest professional credential, announced three new appointments to its Board of Advisors and Executive Committee. The appointments coincide with increasing interest in enrollment—the Fall 2013 semester sold out in days, and applications are already being accepted for Spring 2014.

Barbara Fox, president of Fox Residential, and Elizabeth Ann Kivlan, president of Stribling & Associates, are the newest members of the now nine-member Board of Advisors, and Iman Bacodari, associate real estate broker with Douglas Elliman, is the 12th person to be named to the Executive Committee.

Fox’s experience dates from 1980 when she opened Fox Residential Group, which today has more than 40 brokers assisting buyers, sellers and renters. After joining Stribling in 2003, Kivlan was promoted several times before being named its president earlier this year. An Elliman agent since 2005, Bacodari holds real estate certifications from New York Real Estate Institute and Ivy Real Estate Education in New York.

Offered twice a year in the fall and spring, the NYRS educational program limits enrollment to no more than 35 associate brokers per semester. The Fall 2013 session, which begins September 16, 2013, sold out in days of being posted online.
