If you are ready to buy or sell, and are looking for a Realtor to represent you in buying or selling your Fairfield County Connecticut home, there are a number of qualifications that even  agents in the field recognize and respect  from their colleagues. They should be important to you, too.

The Top Five Real Estate Designations That You Should Require From Your Next Agent Are:


(REB) Licensed Real Estate Broker. Not all agents are brokers. As a matter of fact, less than 30 percent of all the  REALTORS in the entire state of Connecticut hold this highest form of real estate licensure.


(ABR)  Accredited Buyers Representative- Requires  Intensive all day courses with a required passing grade of 80%, and a numebr of documented buyer controlled transactions


(CRS)  Certified Residential Specialist-  Requires  Intensive all day courses with a required passing grade of 80%,  and/or completion of up to 150 verified transactions within any five years


(GRI)  Graduate, Realtors Institute- completing the REALTOR® Institute program consisting of a minimum of 90 hours of coursework about such subjects as the Sales process,  Legal and regulatory,  Technology and  Professional standards.


(e-PRO) Certified Internet Specialist- Cutting-edge technologies and digital initiatives to link up with today's savvy real estate consumer

 

... and here's my own shameless plug.  You can stop looking for an agent that has attained all of these designations, because you've just found me. Take a look at my other credentials

and email me when you need a great REALTOR.
