I disagree ken,
I'm not bragging either...I don't think a certification has anything to do with being able to command your fees. Unlike you, I used to be a RE agent and I started this NSA business without any additional training/certification except my notary law.
Having the knowledges required to do an NSA job is one thing, but understanding how the RE industry work and the fundamental of doing (negotiating) business is the key. I've been very selective as to whom I want to "do business with" and I'm getting top dollars along with happy repeated customers.
"Doing business with" is different from "working for" someone...In my opinion is the lack of knowledge for some in this business to upheld the industry standard. "Working for" someones (a boss to employee mentality) allow them to manipulate/control how much they want to pay versus how much you want for what you are worth.
