Depends on price and benefits, and whether there was a recurring fee for keeping the certification...

No, i don't know what would qualify them to do that. Our county does offer free information for buyers, sellers, sales, assessments, ADU's, etc.

I work in few counties and if I would see any benefits of being certified by a single city/town/municipality, I'd definitely give it a try.

I'd see it as another gimmick like "GRI, ePRO, SRS, ..." IF it was a half day class, cost NO MORE than $50, had no test and no recurring fees I might consider it (that's ePro but at $50 instead of $300). Every agent out here would likely have it. They love the gimmicks out here.

We have a historical home certification offered by our local board. Have not taken it. Too expensive.
