ACHIEVING THE CRS DESIGNATION

CRS Designees are among the best and brightest REALTORS®. To be on top, they must participate in RRC Education annually. A CRS Designee must satisfy a minimum of two credits of continuing RRC Education to maintain their designation via RRC courses, electives, webinars, educational events or pre-approved local networking group sessions. To learn more, visit CRS.com/designation.

STEP 1

Become a member of the Residential Real Estate Council.

STEP 2

Review the two different paths and determine the path that best fits your experiences.

Path 1 (60/30/30):

60 Transactions OR $30M in volume over the last 5 years AND 30 credits of RRC Education

Path 2 (Pro Program):

At least 10 years as a licensed agent, 150 transactions total OR $1M in gross sales per year with at least 40 transactions, AND 16 credits of RRC Education

STEP 3

Complete the required education.

All courses that are to count towards the earning the CRS Designation must be graded, and exams must be completed for credit to count. For this reason, we encourage the completion of self-paced eLearning or in-person classroom courses.

STEP 4

Complete and submit the official CRS Designation Application that includes documentation of Path 1 or Path 2 requirements.

The official CRS Designation Application can be downloaded online. It can be completed electronically and submitted via email. This is the quickest and easiest way to formally apply.

All education required to earn the CRS Designation must be provided by RRC. We do not accept outside credits or courses towards either path. ARE

Applications are processed on a rolling basis, and typically take at most 5-7 business days to process.

The Affidavit of Required Transactions is the most important document of the application. This must be filled out completely and submitted in order for your application to be considered valid.

Make connections with other like-minded professionals by attending local and national events. Learn new techniques that impact your bottom line and take advantage of unparalleled education and networking opportunities with other CRS Designees.
