Less than 5% of all REALTORS in the U.S. have been awarded the CRS designation.

How can a CRS help me?

Every CRS has undergone a rigorous, specialized course of detailed training aimed at making residential transactions as smooth and worry free as possible

A CRS brings special qualifications to your needs:

• Membership in a local Board, State Association, and the National Association of REALTORS. Every CRS is part of a much larger network of real estate professionals.
• Successful completion of the courses leading to the Certified Residential Specialist designation, one of the most successful residential real estate education programs in the country. Every CRS is a real estate professional equipped with special expertise, thanks to advanced study in listing, selling, investment, tax and more.
• A history of demonstrated sales performance through the documented execution of residential sales transactions.
• Every Realtor must conform to the National Association of REALTORS code of ethics.

What this means is that when you work with a CRS, you're working with someone who is more connected. more knowledgeable, and more experienced.
