You're Always in First Place with CRS

In the world of medicine, there are specialists in most every field - hearing specialists, orthopedic specialists, the list goes on and on. The reason is simple. When confronted with something as important as medical care, people like to consult with the top experts in the field.

Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial transactions of your life. With average home prices now in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, such a transaction is ideally suited for an expert. In the world of residential real estate, those experts are called Certified Residential Specialists (CRS).

The CRS designation was created by the Residential Sales Council of the National Association of Realtors® to provide home buyers and sellers with an easy way to identify the top Realtors® in America. There are currently about 30,000 Certified Residential Specialists in the United States, the top four percent of all Realtors® in the country. The requirements for earning the CRS designation are very demanding, yet those requirements ensure that a CRS brings a variety of qualities to the table in a residential real estate transaction, including:

• Required advanced study in listing, selling and financing.
• The most current, up to date information available on issues that affect home buyers and sellers.
• A history of demonstrated sales performance.
• A commitment to providing the finest service available to people involved in the home buying or selling process.
• When you have a need for a Real Estate Agent, always use a CRS!

Thank You
