What Do All Those Letters Mean After a Realtors Name?

If you have decided to sell your home, a purchase a new one, you have probably performed searches online to find an agent to represent you.

Some of those agents have initials after their name, however most do not. Should you care if an agent has those initials, or multiple sets of initials after their name? The short answer is yes.

Those initials are only for agents who have completed  (and passed) advanced education in real estate through  the National Association of REALTORS, and are referred to in the industry as designations.

A few of the most prestigious designations to look for when hiring your next agent are:

ABR - Accredited Buyers Representative. Extensive training on negotiating and representing buyers. Documentation of a number of buyer controlled sales is mandatory for completion.

CRS - Certified Residential Specialist. A very structured course on how to best represent sellers. Documentation of a number of seller controlled sales is mandatory for completion.

GRI - Graduate, REALTORS Institute. Overall detailed review and training on how to be the best real estate agent.

E-PRO - Internet Certified. Training and hands on implementation on technology for real estate professionals.

SRES - Seniors Real Estate Specialist. Training on  and unique real estate needs of senior citizens.

Yes, I have attained all of these designations. (See my bio here)  I believe, as a real estate agent, that the more education and training I can get, the better for my clients, and the better for my knowledge of the business.

When you need a Realtor in  Easton, Fairfield, Norwalk, Trumbull or Westport, you will see very few, if any, agents with ALL of these same designations. My commitment to education is also a commitment to my clients, and I sincerely hope that you are one of them some day.
