Atlanta, GA – (June 2009) -  Harry Norman, Realtors® recently completed a mandatory re-screening process necessary to maintain the prestigious RELO® Quality Certification by the Chicago-based Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® network. The RELO® Quality Certification (RQC) is the first program in the relocation industry to quantify and qualify what true relocation service excellence means. Modeled after the Malcolm Baldrige national quality award, it was created by the network to provide measurable standards for the pursuit of relocation excellence. A committee of leading industry professionals must review all aspects of the company’s relocation services division every three years for a company to remain certified.

Harry Norman, Realtors® earned re-certification only after demonstrating that the company continues to meet stringent standards. Virtually every aspect of the company’s relocation department was reviewed thoroughly, using specific criteria to evaluate performance and production, staffing, training and continuing education, relocation services offered, advertising and marketing, customer satisfaction, technology resources, office facilities, and more.

Harry Norman, Realtors’s Director of Relocation Karen McRae is pleased to have received the certification for another three year period. “The RQC Certification defines excellence in our industry. We are so honored to be one of 39 companies out of the 700 that make up Leading Real Estate Companies of the World to have achieved this award.,” McRae said.
