Council of Residential Specialists

CRS is the best, most useful, designation that a Realtor can have. The CRS Designation is not just education based but also performance based! We are the TOP Realtors in the USA! The instructors at CRS teach up to the minute information and they are PHENOMENAL! Each time I go to a conference or a class, I learn something new — a fresh way to look at the subject they are teaching/​speaking about. This is the largest Referral Network I have ever seen! It is nice to know that when you send a referral, that your client will get the best of the best. I have been told by GRI graduates that CRS is more in depth and more useful information. The Council provides it’s members with so much information and knowledge I just cannot elaborate enough to share my feelings about CRS with you.

Sell-​a-​bration was great as usual — many topics and variety of presenters. Look forward to our next Sell-​a-​bration in 2013! Where will it be?

The only real estate designation that demonstrates advanced knowledge and professionalism is the CRS (Certified Residential Specialist). It is a designation that is earned and not purchased! Agents must take advanced classes and demonstrate a minimum number of transactions and experience before they become eligible. Generally speaking it takes 2 – 3 years to obtain the designation. Only interview agents who have their «PhD in real estate» when looking for a Realtor.

CRS’s are the best of the best, if you ever need a REALTOR you should make sure you are hiring a CRS. Certified Residential Specialists have more experience, additional education and are the cream of the crop!
