LOOK FOR PROPER CREDENTIALS
You would not trust a doctor who did not have the proper credentials and licensing, would you? It is easy to find real estate agents who can take the job, but finding REALTORS® with special credentials — those who have gone that extra step to take additional classes in certain specialties of real estate sales — is worth looking into. Here are just a few credentials within real estate that you should be on the lookout for: • Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR): Completed additional education during representation of buyers in their transactions. • Certified Residential Specialist (CRS): Completed additional training during the handling of residential real estate, such as houses and apartments. • Military Relocation Professional (MRP): Completed additional training to better accomodate the unique needs of active and former military service members, and their families. • Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES): Completed training for the purpose of helping sellers and buyers 50+ years old. Similarly, if you choose to use a real estate agent who is also a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, it will be to your benefit. However, ensure they have credentials that are relevant to your need(s).
