REALTORSÂŽ - Men and Women of Letters

Y

ou know that a REALTORŽ is a licensed professional who represents buyers and sellers in a sales Joe Garst, transaction of 2014 President real property. Spokane Association of REALTORSŽ Do you also know that a REALTORŽ, in addition, can be a man or woman of letters? I’m talking about these letters: ABR, ALC, CCIM, CIPS, CPM, CRB, CRS, CRE, GAA, GREEN, GRI, PMN, RCE, RAA, SRS, SIOR, SRES, AHWD, BPOR, EPRO, MRP, RSPS, and SFR. Perhaps you’ve seen some of these letters after your REALTORŽ’s name and wondered what they meant. These letters are earned by a variety of requirements, usually with time in a classroom and time in a career. In other words, dedication above and beyond what may be considered “standard.� The National Association of REALTORSŽ recognizes these designations and certifications which acknowledge experience and expertise in various real estate sectors. A REALTORŽ with one or more of these letters could be particularly helpful in your next real estate transaction. Here are just a few explained: GRIŽ = Graduate, REALTORŽ Institute. REALTORSŽ with the GRI designation have in-depth training in legal and regulatory issues, technology, professional standards, and the sales process. A graduate of the REALTORŽ Institute is well positioned to serve and protect increasingly sophisticated buyers and sellers. SRESŽ = Seniors Real Estate Specialist. The SRESŽ designation program educates REALTORSŽ on how to serve the real estate needs of the fastest growing market in real estate, clients age 50+. Seniors often need to make real estate decisions that include estate planning, affect extended family members and include other timein-life decisions. SRSŽ = Seller Representative Specialist. The SRSŽ designation program is the premier credential in seller

representation. Some sellers need a REALTORŽ who has an edge on valuation, negotiation, inspection and other seller-specific issues. ABRŽ = Accredited Buyers Representative. The ABRŽ designation is designed for real estate buyer agents who focus on working directly with buyerclients at every stage of the home-buying process – especially if the purchase is your first home or the property is unique in some way. CRSŽ = Certified Residential Specialist. The CRSŽ designation is useful on both sides of a real estate transaction that involves a single-family home. Special expertise on neighborhoods, schools and architectural styles is particularly valuable here. MRPŽ = Military Relocation Professional. The MRPŽ designation focuses on educating real estate professionals about working with current and former military service members to find housing solutions that best suit their needs and take full advantage of military benefits and support. While most people are wellserved by a REALTORŽ who is considered a general practitioner, you may wish to consider working with a REALTORŽ who specializes in one or more of these areas to give you an additional advantage in a real estate transaction – especially if your situation is particularly complex or requires a greater depth of experience in a certain area. I am proud of all of our REALTORŽ members at the Spokane Association of REALTORSŽ. They each work hard to maintain their credentials, whatever those may be. When it’s time for you to buy or sell a piece of real property, it’s time for you to call a REALTORŽ! The full list of designations and Certifications currently recognized by the National Association of REALTORSŽ may be found online here: ( http://www.realtor.org/ designations-and-certifications ) This article represents the personal opinion of Joe Garst, 2014 President of the Spokane Association of REALTORSŽ.
