A Certified Residential Specialist is a Realtor who has earned certification from the Council of Residential Specialists by completing a rigorous course of advanced training, and by meeting significant experience requirements. Just 5% of all Realtors in the U.S. can call themselves Certified Residential Specialists. That's just because just one in 20 has the extensive experience, the unique commitment and the hours of advanced training necessary to call themselves a Certified Residential Specialist. And that's just the beginning! Here are some reasons why you should hire a CRS like Debi when you buy or sell your home: 1. A Mix of Experience & Sales A hallmark of Certified Residential Specialists isn't just the advanced training and education they receive. Just as important is the marketplace expertise they bring to the sale of your home. To earn the CRS Designation, every Realtor must have a significant mix of experience and number of real estate transactions. 2. The Highest Standards of Ethics Ethics aren't just important in a Realtor, they're essential. That's why every CRS is required to maintain membership in the National Association of Realtors and to abide by its strict Code of Ethics. That means when you work with a CRS, you can rest assured you're dealing with a trained real estate agent who will treat you fairly and professionally every step of the way. 3. A Focus on Home Buying & Selling Whether you're looking to buy or sell a home, you face many risks along the way. Financial risks, legal risks, even the risk that a home purchase or sale will fall through. A CRS is trained to minimize those risks. 4. Technological Expertise Technology is changing the face of real estate. Computers, the Internet, mobile communications - each has helped make the market more efficient, and at the same time more daunting. More than ever, the success of your home purchase or sale depends on the abilty of you Realtor to harness that technology and make it work for you. You can count on your CRS not just to understand technology, but to use it to make your home purchase or sale a worry-free experience. 5. An Ability to Maximize Profits & Minimize Costs. Buying a home isn't simply about paying the lowest price. And selling a home isn't just about getting the money you asked for. Along the way, there are fees, taxes and numerous other costs that can impact your bottom line. A CRS is trained to help you understand the marketplace and negotiate on your behalf. The result is a more rewarding experience, whether you're buying or selling, or both. Contact Debi today and discover for yourself how enjoyable and successful a real estate relationship can be!
