Kymry A. Perez of Sleeping Giant Sotheby's International Realty has been awarded the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) of the National Association of Realtors.

"Today's real estate brokers and agents want to provide a full menu of services for their clients, whether they are buyers or sellers," explains Dale A. Stinton, President and CEO of REBAC. "The ABR designation, the benchmark of excellence in real estate buyer representation, demonstrates to clients that the agent has taken steps to continue their education in the field of buyer representation, and has the proven experience and training to deliver ethical and professional service to real estate buyers."

Perez joins more than 35,000 real estate professionals in North America who have earned the ABR designation. All were required to successfully complete a comprehensive course in buyer representation and an elective course focusing on a buyer representation specialty, in addition to submitting documentation verifying professional experience. 

So far all functional and static information on the web site have been translated into Spanish and Portuguese.  It also will be translated into French, Italian, German, Russian and traditional Chinese within the next few weeks.  Translations are being done by professional translators based in each respective country, not by machine translation methods.  What this means is that consumers looking for Kauai real estate will now be able to search our inventory of Kauai homes, condominiums, and land for sale in their native language with just the simple click of a button. 

In addition to the language translations, a currency conversion was added to our website in 2008 allowing consumers searching for Kauai real estate to convert the currency to the currency they use.

These enhancements to our website will allow Sleeping Giant Sotheby’s International Realty to better serve our clients on a global level.
