Do you see an “MD” for your health and a “CPA” for your accounting needs? And who handles one of your largest investments – your home? Many people don’t think twice about who they use to represent them in their real estate needs, but this can be a serious mistake.
The real estate industry is host to advanced designations and credentials like many fields. When you get a Realtor’s business card, pay attention if they have any letters after their name. If their name is followed by acronyms, this means they have taken the time and met requirements to further educate themselves and enhance their services. Think of it as a form of higher education in real estate.
I am proud to have just earned my fourth credential—the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). Less than 4% of Realtors hold this designation because it is the most difficult to obtain. Not only did I need to pass courses in a variety of subject areas, but I also had to meet strict production requirements to even be eligible.
What does this mean for you? Home buyers and sellers can be assured that CRS designees subscribe to the strict Realtors code of ethics, have access to the latest technology, and are specialists in helping clients maximize profits and minimize costs when buying or selling a home.
In addition to being a CRS, I am also a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, Certified Distressed Property Expert, and Certified Negotiation Expert.
Take an extra second to look at your Realtor’s business card…it may make all the difference!
