			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.charlescherney.com/files/2012/02/Verified-Professional-Agent1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3946" src="http://blog.charlescherney.com/files/2012/02/Verified-Professional-Agent1.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="194" /></a>I am pleased to report that I am the first Realtor to become a VPA or <strong><a title="Verified Professional Agent" href="http://www.verifiedagent.com/vpas/cherney-first-vpa™-in-massachusetts/" target="_blank">Verified Professional Agent</a></strong> in the state of Massachusetts.</p>
<p>Verification is NOT a “designation” that can be purchased…it can ONLY be earned. VPAs™ have their Critical Client Service Credentials OBJECTIVELY VERIFIED. Only experienced, full time real estate professionals with clean records of ethical conduct and proven track records of client satisfaction qualify to be VPAs™.</p>
<p>Per the most recent National Association of REALTORS®<em> Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers</em>, the “most important factor” people look for when choosing an Agent is honesty and trustworthiness (at 31%). The second most important factor is the Agent’s reputation (at 23%). These qualities are not necessarily easy for buyers and sellers to find or identify.</p>
<p>That’s because, in real estate, it’s often hard to tell the good from the bad. The choices are seemingly infinite, and the internet is full of subjective, not-entirely-reliable data and reviews about Agents. So, how do buyers and sellers choose the right Agent? Very often, they don’t, as the polls and surveys continue to tell us. Until now, the public  has not had an objective, credible source to help them locate the kind of honest, trustworthy and reputable Agent that they desire and deserve. Like YOU.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Verified Agent" href="http://verifiedagent.com" target="_blank">VerifiedAgent.com</a></strong> INDEPENDENTLY verify PRECISELY those things people most want when selecting a Real Estate Professional, and they do it objectively, by going straight to the third party sources who can corroborate these important factors. Specifically, VerifiedAgent verified ALL of the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Charles Cherne<strong>y</strong> is <strong>a full-time real estate professional</strong>.</li>

<li>Charles Cherney is <strong>confirmed as professional, ethical and competent by at least three peer agents from other brands</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>The totality of these Verifications provides the consumer with EXACTLY the Critical Client Service Characteristics that people MOST WANT when selecting a real estate agent. The playing field just got leveled…</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are considering buying or selling a home near Harvard University, I would be delighted to be of assistance.<strong> </strong> I am a Harvard graduate, Cambridge resident and a top broker in Cambridge since 1999. I can be reached at <a href="mailto:ccherney@hammondre.com" target="_blank">ccherney@hammondre.com</a> or at 617-733-8937.</p>
<p>Over the last ten years I have greatly enjoyed assisting Harvard professors, Harvard students and fellow Harvard alums with buying and selling in Cambridge. I have enjoyed working with Harvardians and their families at <strong>Harvard Law School</strong>, <strong>Harvard Business School</strong>, <strong>The Kennedy School</strong>, <strong>Harvard College </strong>and at the <strong>Harvard graduate schools</strong> &#8211; all Harvard connections are welcome! Always a pleasure to work with members of  the Harvard family &#8211; past, present and future!</p>
<p>One Harvard professor I worked with writes the following: &#8220;<strong>Charles Cherney</strong> was consummately professional in his work with us. He kept us regularly informed about possible properties as we searched for just the right house. It was a pleasure to work with him throughout the process and he has our strong recommendation for anyone seeking a principled, knowledgeable, efficient and client-orientated real estate professional.&#8221;</p>
