Littleton Agent Nikki Barrett Received Her Broker License
We are so proud of our team mate at the Littleton office - Nikki Barrett has received her New Hampshire Broker Associate license. Nikki works with us here at the Littleton office and has been in real estate for over a decade, after graduating from Plymouth State University. Nikki wanted to obtain her Broker's license so she could expand her knowledge level of all facets of real estate.
The brokers exam is very rigorous and requires 60 hours of continuing education, plus a set amount of time working in the real estate arena as a sales associate.
Congratulations Nikki! Well Done!
