Coral
Gables, FL, USA (January 29, 2016) -- The Platinum
Worldwide Group is a real estate team at the Keller
Williams Realty Coral Gables - Coconut Grove market center in the
greater Miami area and they announced today that Joe Robaina, a
broker-associate and the team's leader, has been awarded the Military
Residential Specialist certification after completing the first
course offered for that purpose in Miami-Dade county.
The
Military residential Specialist website (gomilres.com)
describes the program as follows:
"The
Military Residential Specialist (MilRES) Program offers real estate
professionals the opportunity to help 'military' clients and their
families while growing their own business in this important but
under-served market segment."
"MilRES®
was founded in 2010 by nationally known speaker Buddy West. After two
years of researching the subject, traveling to military installations
and interviewing military officers and enlisted service members,
veterans, their families, Congressman and heads of the Veteran's
administration, the MilRES® team was ready with an outline and plan
to develop the class. This class was not written by a 'class writer
or developer,' but from content from the military for Realtors® to
serve the military."

subject: https://youtu.be/8fhC5jqMR2I
Mr.
Robaina had this to say about his reasons for seeking out this
certification:
"As
a professional real estate adviser, I am always looking for ways to
increase my knowledge and ability to help those who rely on my and my
team for real estate advice and services. However, in this case, I
was especially keen to the opportunity to become better equipped to
serve the special needs of Veterans, active and retired military
personnel because I feel a debt to them and their families for the
sacrifices they all make to serve and protect us."
Mr.
Robaina is currently preparing a series of seminars and webinars
designed to inform the South Florida community about the needs and
many programs available specifically for Veterans, active and retired
members of the military, as well as the National Guard, Reserves,
Coast Guard, Fires, Police and other branches of government service
personnel line the FBI and CIA through his affiliation with the
"Heroes" program which provides additional financial
benefits through reimbursement of real estate commissions and reduced
fee or no-fee programs offered by affiliated mortgage providers, and
other service providers.
