CRB Council is Leading a Path to Advanced Education for All REALTORS

I have had the honor of serving on the CRB Council Board of Directors for the past two years. This year our BOD’s approved two new excellent educational programs for the real estate industry.   The first was a program that already existed called the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS); however SRS became a wholly owned division of the CRB Council and is now recognized by the National Association of Realtors as an official designation.

SRS is the Essential Credential for Seller Representation!

As a real estate professional, you know this industry is in a state of constant evolution and change.  As a result, it has become even more important to stay ahead of the information and knowledge curve and strengthen your ability to sustain your business and remain competitive.

Ready to achieve a new level of professional growth and recognition?  The SRS Designation elevates professional standards, enhances individual performance, and recognizes real estate professionals who demonstrate the knowledge and skills essential in professionally and ethically representing sellers.

The second program I'm extremely excited to see roll out is the Certified Real Estate Team Specialist (CRETS). This is the first and only teams’ credential recognized by the National Association of REALTORS.

The CRB Council realizes the real estate industry has experienced a proliferation of teams in the last several years, changing the landscape of the traditional real estate brokerage.  This was an opportunity to enhance our industry and expand the opportunities available to team leaders by becoming members of the CRB Council.

There are very few training programs that are comprehensive and span the scope of legal, ethical, financial and operational issues and requirements for team leaders. The courses are designed to provide the tools, strategies, tactics and knowledge that are required of today's real estate professionals considering or currently operating in a team environment.

I believe the CRB Council has something to offer everyone within an organization from the agents, the real estate team leader to the broker in charge and has now taken steps to bring the CRB Council into the future for our industry.

Be sure to visit the CRB Website for additional information on both Series of Education and the CRB Courses available. CRETS schedules should be rolling out soon in an area near you.
