ABR Designation (Accredited Buyer Representation)

There are plenty of opportunities for Realtors® to stand apart from the rest. One of the ways a real estate agent can do this is by obtaining a designation. You can educate yourself on your specialty and participate in continuing your education. Many of the Realtors® at OwnACondo.com for instance have their ABR® designation, for Accredited Buyer’s Representation. They truly specialize in working and servicing buyers.

In order to obtain the ABR® Designation, you need to complete a two-day course and receive an 80% or higher score on the exam. You will then have three years to complete the other ABR® requirements. These requirements include: successful completion of the ABR® elective courses with a passing grade of 80% on the exam; documentation verifying that you have completed five transactions in which you acted only as the buyer agent; and finally, maintaining an active and good membership status with the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council and the National Association of Realtors®.

In the real estate industry, it is important to stand out in the field. There are many Realtors® and all are after the same goals: Closing transactions and making money. Do something unique and special so that you are more easily recognizable, such as earning an ABR® designation. You can then add this designation to all of your marketing and advertising. Add this designation to all social networking sites and you are already ahead of the rest.

Our condo buyers really love our ABR Agents, because our buyers are assured of unparralled expertise and service.
