The designations a Realtor® has been awarded can be a good clue for a home buyer or home seller about the individual real estate agent's competency and capabilities. A designation is an award for achievement in education and/or performance allowing the individual to display the designation. While each designation has its own set of requirements for achievement, the general approach is similar to the use of college degrees, or the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designations.
Unfortunately, some St. Louis, MO real estate practitioners (and other areas), who have not demonstrated the required skills to achieve the recognized industry-wide designations, attempt to confuse the issue through the use of designations which are only recognized by a single local brokerage, or worse, through the use of non-existent designations. The following are fully recognized and industry accepted designations that merit your attention.
ABR
The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation is the benchmark of
excellence in buyer representation. This coveted designation is awarded to real
estate practitioners who meets the specified educational and practical
experience criteria required by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) of
the National Association of REALTORS®.
CBU
The Graduate, Coldwell Banker University (CBU) is
an elite designation awarded by Coldwell Banker upon the satisfactory completion
of an extensive course of study and the achievement of required real estate
sales transaction volume. Less than 1% of all Coldwell Banker agents
world-wide have achieved this designation.
CRS
The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is
the highest Designation awarded to sales associates in the residential sales
field. The CRS Designation recognizes professional accomplishments in both
experience and education. The Council of Residential Specialists (the largest
not-for-profit affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS®)
created the CRS designation, considered the "CPA" of residential real estate, to
give home buyers and sellers an easy way to identify agents who have significant
experience and demonstrate higher volume of real estate transactions or gross
sales, as well as complete rigorous, advanced educational requirements.
Approximately 35,000 Realtors® have earned the CRS designation,
equaling only 4 percent of all Realtors® in the world.
GRI
The Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) is
the mark of a real estate professional that has made the commitment to provide a
high level of professional services by securing a strong educational foundation.
REALTORS® with the GRI designation are highly trained in many areas
of real estate to better serve and protect their clients.
