I’m George F. Brooks III, the founder of Brooks Real Estate Services. I’ve been a firm believer in being involved in my community, as well as the professional organizations I belong to. I served as Chairman of the New Hampshire Real Estate Appraiser Board for 28 months through July 2007. I was a board member through November of 2008.
As President of the Greater Manchester Board of REALTORS® in 1985, I undertook the Computerization of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This was done in conjunction with the Nashua, Salem, Concord, and Portsmouth Boards of REALTORS®. The actions of these Boards ultimately led to the current statewide MLS offered by the New England Real Estate Network (NEREN).
I also believe strongly in continuing education, starting with the attainment of the GRI designation in 1982. This designation highlights the importance of being a REALTOR®, as well as training in Residential sales techniques. It consisted of 120 hours of classroom and testing.
The CCIM designation was attained in 1993. The CCIM designation denotes a Commercial/Industrial real estate professional that understands Investment Real Estate. It requires 200 hours of education and testing. This designation has been likened to a Master’s Degree in Real Estate. It is earned by a combination of classwork, testing, and verification of numerous Commercial, Industrial, and Multi-Family transactions.
The New Hampshire Certified General Appraisers license was attained after 180 hours of concentrated appraisal classroom and testing, as well as passing the final state-required test. This license also required over 2,000 hours of appraisal experience with a 50% requirement for discounted cash flows.
