| • An Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) is a designation given by the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council (REBAC) of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. • To obtain this designation, agents must complete a comprehensive course in buyer representation; obtain a passing grade on the written examination; demonstrate practical experience by completing and closing multiple real estate transactions in which the agent functioned as a buyer representative; and maintain membership in good standing with the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and with the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council. • Buying a home is a very complex transaction with dozens of details to be handled. Most sellers are represented by an agent and so should buyers be in order to protect their best interests. • Obtaining professional buyer representation costs nothing for the buyer. • You can hire a buyer's agent who is not an ABR®, but why? |
