| CRS
- Certified Residential Specialist |
|
 |
To fill the specific residential
needs of homebuyers and sellers, the Residential Sales Council of the
National Association of Realtors instituted a class of expert real estate professional:
The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). |
Every CRS has undergone a rigorous, specialized course of detailed training,
aimed at making residential transactions as smooth and worry-free as possible.
A CRS brings special qualifications to your needs:
Membership in a local Board, State Association, and the National Association Realtors.
Every CRS is part of a much larger network of real estate professionals.
Successful completion of the courses leading to the Certified Residential Specialist
designation - one of the most successful residential real estate educational programs in
the country. Every CRS is a real estate professional equipped with special expertise,
thanks to advanced study in listing, selling, investment, taxes and more.
A history of demonstrated sales performance through the documented execution of
residential sales transactions.
What this means is that when you work with a CRS, you're working with someone who is more
connected, more knowledgeable, and more experienced.
| What if my needs are
special? |
If anything about your transaction is special, seek out a specialist. It's as
simple as that. Only 2% of all Realtors and REALTOR-ASSOCIATES have earned the right to be
called a CRS. Only 2% have developed special residential sales skills and enhanced their
residential sales knowledge through study, dedication and experiences.
A CRS can help you optimize your transaction by identifying better prospects, clarifying
investment potential, and helping you understand tax ramifications. It all adds up to one
thing: better service.
| What special
qualifications does a CRS bring to my transaction? |
Your trust in a CRS is well-earned, thanks to these distinctive
credentials:
A professional designation of residential specialty, the highest in the industry
A higher level of education in residential sales
Professional affiliation with thousands of other real estate professionals on the local
and national levels
Up-to-the-minute industry information, with respect to taxes, investment, legislation, and
other areas of critical importance
Local market knowledge - special residential expertise unique to your area
Put your trust in the best.
Get the job done right wit the help of a Certified Residential Specialist.
