Neil Rosen, HCCP
NJR Real Estate Consulting Services |
Nation’s Building News recently talked with Neil Rosen, HCCP, of NJR Real Estate Consulting Services, based in Virginia Beach, Va. about the value of his professional designation.
Rosen is also a member of the Housing Credit Certified Professional (HCCP) Board of Governors and helped write the first HCCP exam.
What designations do you hold?
Just the HCCP. I have an MBA. I was formerly a Realtor® in Massachusetts, but I gave that up about 10 years ago when I went into asset management.
Have you ever won a customer or a job because of your NAHB designation?
I certainly believe it has helped, but no client has directly said to me that it is the reason why they have engaged me.
How has your designation tangibly benefited your career? How have you promoted designations among your peers? Your home builders association?
I have been steadily engaged over the last three-plus years as a consultant almost strictly in the affordable housing area. Having the HCCP is a designation of excellence in the affordable housing area.
I do know of companies that call me looking for compliance professionals, and they do specifically ask for individuals with the HCCP.
Why did you choose to pursue a designation through NAHB?
I have been associated with builders for more than 10 years. I was asked by my employer at the time to assist a fine group of professionals to write the first HCCP exam and have been on the board ever since.
I am very proud of this designation.
