As President-Elect of the Dakota Chapter of the Council of Residential Specialists, I have come to Mid-Year leadership meetings in Washington DC. It has been fun, but more than that it is good to connect with leading REALTORS® from all over the United States.
The Council of Residential Specialists is a national organization which champions professionalism and effectiveness for clients. For a REALTOR® to earn the CRS designation they must complete additional educational classes as well have verified experience.
I have found the CRS classes to be the best classes I have taken. They are also some of the more expensive REALTOR® education available if one only looks at the dollars invested. If instead one looks at the gain to ourselves and our clients, the classes are the best investment we could make.
As a buyer or seller, it can be difficult to know what the alphabet soup of letters behind a REALTOR’s® name really mean. The CRS designation means we, as your agent, are part of only about 4% of the REALTORS® in the United States, and we believe in investing in our professionalism for the ultimate benefit of you, our client.
