Why do I need a residential expert?
Buying or selling a home is one of the most crucial financial transactions of your life. In what can be a confusing and sometimes difficult process, it pays to leave as little to chance as you can. But with the help of a professional, you can navigate unknown territory with ease.

To fill the specific residential needs of homebuyers and sellers, the Residential Sales Council of the National Association of Realtors instituted a class of expert real estate professional: the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS).

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 esate professionals.

Successful completion of the courses leading to the Certified Residential Specialist designation- one of the most successful residential real estate educational programs in the country. Every CRS is a real estate professional equiped with special expertise, thanks to advanced study in listing, selling, investment, taxes and more.

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.

What if my needs are simple?

If anything about your transaction is special, seek out a specialist. It's as simple as that. Only 3% of all Realtors and Realtor-Associates have earned the right to be called a CRS. Only 3% have developed special residential skills and enhanced their residential sales knowledge through study, dedication, and experience.

A CRS can help you optimize your transaction by identifying better prospects, clarifying investment potential, and helping you understand tax ramifications. It all adds up to one thing: better service.

What special qualifications does a CRS bring to my transaction?

• Your trust in a CRS is well-earned, thanks to these distinctive credentials:
• A professional designation of residential specialty, the highest in the industry
• A higher level of education in residential sales
• Professional affiliation with thousands of other real estate professionals on the local and national levels
• Up-to-the-minute industry information, with respect to taxes, investment, legislation, and other areas of critical importance
• Local market knowledge - special residential expertise unique to your area

The CRS designation: our badge of expertise and your shield of assurance. Look for the CRS Shield when considering your next residential transaction.
