Advanced Designations and Special Certifications for Real Estate Agents
Like other professionals, real estate agents have the ability to specialize in certain areas of the business by earning advanced designations and special certifications. Those acronyms signify that they have achieved a specific designation through extensive training and education and by demonstrating their experience through documented performance. In simple terms, designations enable agents to increase their skills, proficiency, and knowledge in various real estate sectors. They can also provide agents with access to members-only marketing tools and resources which can be an added benefit to their clients.
These professional Designations are endorsements made most often by the NAR, or National Association of Realtors, an organization that adheres to a strict code of ethics and encourages growth in real estate knowledge for its members. Real Estate professionals who are members of NAR are REALTORS®.
When you see initials behind a REALTORS® name, it signifies a committed professional. This person goes beyond the basic requirements for a real estate license. They strive to enhance their professional skills and service quality. They invest time, effort, travel, and expense to attend courses, pass exams, and achieve specific designations and certifications. These initials indicate advanced knowledge and expertise. This ensures they can help protect your biggest asset and negotiate in your best interests.
