Kim Deri with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage in Murrells Inlet, SC has recently earned the coveted Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist™ (CLHMS™) designation from The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. This accolade underscores Kim’s expertise and proficiency in the upper-tier market and proven performance in this niche sector.

 

The CLHMS designation is recognized as the mark of accomplishment in luxury real estate markets; this achievement proves that recipients are true professionals in this sector. To receive the CLHMS recognition, an agent must meet specific criteria, including completion of rigorous training and demonstrating a proven track record in the upper-tier property market.

 

“Attaining the CLHMS designation is a significant accomplishment and testament to Kim’s dedication to providing the best service possible to clients in the luxury residential sector,” commented Kathleen Bibbins, Director of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. “The CLHMS “seal” is a symbol of distinction. Affluent buyers and sellers from around the world look for this symbol of knowledge, expertise and performance when putting their trust in a real estate professional.”

 

The specialized training and ongoing membership with The Institute provide Kim with the knowledge and tools to better serve clients. The CLHMS designation provides evidence of successful commitment to service at the highest level. “My philosophy is simple: successful real estate is built on knowledge, trust, and meaningful client relationships. I believe that guiding buyers to find the perfect home or sellers to list their home requires listening carefully, understanding lifestyle goals, and providing expert insight every step of the way,” said Kim.

 

As a dual-state licensed real estate professional (South Carolina and Pennsylvania), Kim brings in-depth market knowledge, strategic marketing expertise, and a relationship-first approach to every transaction. Beyond real estate, Kim is a proud mother of four sons and loves traveling to visit them and their families. Her passion for exploring new places naturally extends into her profession.
