Let’s Give a Round of Applause for These Family Members

 

A few individuals within our Family of Companies have achieved some incredible career milestones recently. Please check out their accomplishments below and send them a big Congratulations!

From REO Intern to Reinhart's Relocation Director, Kristen Thompson Has Earned Her Certification Relocation Professional (CRP) Designation.

The CRP® designation from the Employee Relocation Council is the only credential dedicated to acknowledging professionals who demonstrate extensive understanding in managing employee mobility within the United States. Once earned, it recognizes their demonstration of a comprehensive knowledge of the principles and practices in the U.S. employee relocation across all facets of the industry. 

This is an exceptionally challenging credential to earn. Kristen studied for months and successfully passed the intense exam on her first attempt! This highly regarded designation will help Kristen connect with many leaders within the relocation industry as she expands her role as Reinhart's Relocation Director.

Kristen shared that a few cool things she learned were, “That the relocation appraisal is unique and takes into account forecasting of the real estate market. When facilitating an international move cross-cultural factors should be accounted for and training for the employee is typically offered when going to a new destination and preparing for their repatriation should start at the beginning of the process!

Kristen began at our family of companies in May 2014 as a temporary summer employee to Client Services and Relocation America International. She quickly became an asset to the team and continued working within our Family of Companies. From Client Services to Relocation America International to Rental Management One to now Reinhart, Kristen has worn many hats within our organization and created so much value for our companies. 

CONGRATULATIONS, KRISTEN!

Caron Koteles Riha of our Rochester office received the Karen M Linnell Award in December 2023 at the Women’s Council of Realtors Holiday Gala. This is given for Caron’s exceptional dedication and service. Caron has been a guiding force for buyers and sellers as a Realtor for over 29 years. She is extremely active within her community, including her many contributions to our Real Estate One Charitable Foundation (you’ll always find her at our Annual Golf Outing and Polar Plunging, along with many more events she attends and supports). We are very grateful that Caron is such a beloved member of our Family. Congratulations on earning such a distinct honor, Caron!

Caron was unable to attend the event to receive her award, so her daughter, Lauren, went on her behalf. Here is a quick video of the moment Caron’s award was presented!
