Franklin, Tenn: Crye-Leike Real Estate Services congratulates Realtor David Bailey on earning the nationally recognized Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation from the Seniors Real Estate Council of the National Association of REALTORS (NAR). Bailey is affiliated with Crye-Leike's Franklin - Cool Springs branch office and serves the residential real estate needs of buyers and sellers throughout Middle Tennessee. To earn this recognition, Bailey was required to complete a comprehensive course in understanding the needs, considerations and goals of real estate buyers and sellers aged 55 and older. After spending 27 years as a general contractor and the last three years as a Realtor, Bailey's number one goal has always been to provide the best possible service to the people he works with. Understanding the hardships that downsizing or transitioning into a new home can be for many people, Bailey decided to earn the SRES to ensure that he would have all of the necessary tools to make that process stress-free for his clients. "I elected to earn the SRES designation to help be of service to our older generation," said Bailey. "I've had many opportunities in the past to help clients move from their longtime home, but earning this designation means that I have even more knowledge to help through these times. A Realtor can be an invaluable resource to clients in their time of need, and my goal is to make this process as seamless and easy as possible for them." Now that Bailey has earned the SRES designation, he is looking forward to working with a resource team of other senior-focused professionals who can assist with the moving process, organization & downsizing, contracting services and elder care needs.

Memphis, Tenn: Crye-Leike Real Estate Services announces that Jaime Henson, a commercial broker with Crye-Leike Commercial Memphis, closed a record sale in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Henson represented a buyer in the acquisition of a $10.5 million warehouse located on the opposite end of the state. With respect to the confidentiality of the private buyer and seller, the details of the transaction are not available at this time. After joining Crye-Leike in 2018 selling residential homes, Henson learned very quickly that she preferred the business side of real estate, while working for a buyer on a historical property sale. She refocused her brokerage practice to 100 percent commercial real estate in 2019, and she has now set a career milestone with this $10.5 million deal. "In July of 2020, I was given the assignment to represent a national buyer locating an industrial warehouse with instructions that it must be closed by Dec 31st," said Henson. "Considering the low inventory of distribution warehouses due to the spring tornadoes that ripped through Middle Tennessee, and the surge of e-commerce companies buying up warehouses, I knew I was in for a challenge; not to mention the time constraint of getting a deal done in six months." After putting in countless hours of work, Henson was able to find the ideal location for her buyer, with the sellers representation by Bart Hardison and Michael Reid, Newmark Knight Frank. "We toured several warehouses in both Middle Tennessee and East Tennessee," said Henson. "Ultimately, we found a 245,000 square foot industrial warehouse that was actually not even on the market for sale. After working diligently with the owner's agents, were able to get a deal done." Henson specializes in the sale and lease of industrial warehouses, flex spaces and office buildings. Henson is a licensed broker in Tennessee and Mississippi, and she is a member of the Memphis Area Association of REALTORS (MAAR), the Tennessee Association of REALTORS (TAR) and National Association of REALTORS (NAR).

She has not only been a trusted managing broker for our Tupelo office, but she has repeatedly shown her reliability when things didn't work out as we had hoped. She will be sorely missed by all, but we look forward to the person who Norma also helped us obtain as her replacement as the new broker for the office: Rob Harshbarger." - Steve Brown "After a couple of short years in real estate, when I was ready for a move to a bigger office, I met with many brokers in this area. None of them made me feel like Norma Cother did. That is why I ended up at Crye Leike. Norma is one of a kind and a very special person to me. Very seldom do you get the opportunity to work with someone with such a kind, warm, and welcoming spirit. I have been blessed to work under Norma as one of her agents for 12 years now and thank her greatly for leading me up the ladder of success, not only a Realtor, but also an individual. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor, Ms. Norma; you have surely earned it!" - Beth Walker "I have known Norma for a long time. She is an honest and trustworthy soul. In recent years, she was a client of mine and always had time for a sales pitch and a few laughs. Last year, she was my mentor and offered sound counsel and teaching as I worked into being the new broker here. Now, most importantly, she is my valued friend and confidant!" - Rob Harshbarger "Norma always treated her agents and staff like family because of her compassion for the business and us. We all work together, help each other and really care for each other. It is a unique office like no other. She was always the example of honesty, loyalty, professionalism, willingness to help, dependability, knowledge and out pour of love for all. She was and will always be my friend, confidante and my family. Norma, I love you very much and will miss you terribly." - Shirley Curry "Her guidance and advice has helped me professionally & personally. I am thankful to have worked with Norma for the past 20 years." - Vicki West "Thanks for being the best broker, and I appreciate your sweet words of encouragement.

Batesville, AR: Crye-Leike Real Estate Services congratulates Principal Broker Lackey Moody for earning the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation from the Residential Real Estate Council. Moody is the principal broker and owner of the Crye-Leike franchise, Crye*Leike Batesville Real Estate Center. The CRS designation is the highest credential awarded to residential sales agents, managers, and brokers. On average, CRS designees earn nearly three times more in income, transactions, and gross sales than non-designee REALTORS. REALTORS who hold the CRS designation have more experience and training than the average REALTOR and are part of a community dedicated to improving the real estate industry for home buyers and sellers across the nation. For Moody, earning the CRS designation has been on his career bucket-list for quite some time. When COVID-19 slowed the industry down initially in the spring months, Moody encouraged his agents to expand their real estate knowledge during their down time, and did the same himself. "As a principal broker it is important to lead by example," said Moody. "When I asked my agents to continue their real estate education, I ended up having a new agent finish their license, two agents studying for their broker's test and one agent take on a mentoring program. Their hard work motivated me to reach my goal of earning the CRS, which I've wanted to do for about ten years. It is always important as an agent to complete our circles." Moody has been a member of the real estate industry for 27 years and earned the Graduate, REALTOR Institute (GRI) designation earlier in his career. He was also voted the 2020 REALTOR of the Year by the Batesville Board of REALTORS and currently serves as the president for the board.
