As a REALTOR®, your professionalism and commitment to excellence set you apart in the eyes of clients and the community. One powerful way to raise your professional profile and deliver even greater value to consumers is by earning a National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) designation.
Designations are more than just letters after your name — they reflect advanced training, expertise, and a dedication to upholding the highest standards in real estate. When you invest in professional development, you’re also investing in your business and building trust with clients who seek knowledgeable, ethical, and skilled REALTORS®. Some of the most widely held NAR designations include:
- GRI (Graduate, REALTOR® Institute): A solid foundation in real estate fundamentals and business practices.
- ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative): Expertise in serving today’s homebuyers with excellence.
- CRS® (Certified Residential Specialist): The highest credential awarded to residential sales agents, managers, and brokers.
- SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist): Specialized knowledge to serve clients aged 50+ with sensitivity and care.
- SRS (Seller Representative Specialist): Advanced skills in seller representation and negotiation.
