MIKE WALLIN
Mike Wallin, a realtor with Prudential Northwest Properties in Longview, earned a Certified Negotiation Expert designation last week. The certification is achieved by real estate professionals who have completed formal training in negotiation.
"I had been practicing many of the principles, but until taking this training I hadn't been able to fully use some of these techniques and strategies," Wallin said.
The certification training was provided by Negotiation Expertise, LLC, a national negotiation training and coaching company.
