Texas REALTORA� vs. real estate licensee
Holding a real estate agenta��s or real estate brokera��s license does not make someone a REALTORA�. Here in Texas, membership in the National Association of REALTORSA�, the Texas Association of REALTORSA�, and one of 89 local associations or boards entitles real estate licensees to use the term a�?REALTORA�a�? on their business cards and in their marketing materials. Hiring a Texas REALTORA� means youa��ve retained someone who is committed to continuing education, professionalism, and integrity. In addition to upholding the strict REALTORA� Code of Ethics, many Texas REALTORSA� (like me) hold one or more professional designationsa��those letters behind our names indicating advanced or specialized training in real estate. Here are just a few of the various designations and certifications a Texas REALTORA� may hold and what they could mean for you:
Graduate REALTORA� Institute (GRI)
The GRI designation is a mark of distinction that earns REALTORSA� respect and confidence from their peers and the general public, demonstrating their commitment to advancing their knowledge in many aspects of the real estate profession.
Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)
Residential salespeople who hold the CRS designation specialize in listing properties, selling, and investing, as well as mortgage financing and computer applications.
Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR)
A buyera��s agent represents the buyer in a real estate transaction, just as a sellera��s agent is hired to obtain the price and sale terms sought by the seller. The ABR is the only nationally recognized designation for buyera��s agents.
Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager (CRB)
The CRB designation is recognized in the real estate profession as the symbol of management excellence and is awarded to brokerage owners and managers.
e-PRO
The e-PRO certification is the real estate industrya��s first comprehensive technology certification endorsed by the National Association of REALTORSA�.
Texas Affordable Housing Specialist (TAHS)
Some Texas REALTORSA� have undergone a 12-hour certification program that arms them with specialized knowledge about affordable housing resources and products for consumers in Texas. A Texas Affordable Housing Specialist is dedicated to increasing the rate of homeownership and retention.
