NAR Offering Virtual Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designation at a discounted price. 

 

It's critical that REALTORS® articulate the value they bring to the transaction and the  role REALTORS® play in guiding consumers through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. In addition to the longstanding practice of having listing agreements, every real estate agent should implement the use of buyer representation agreements into their practice.

 

The Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. The ABR® course educates REALTORS® how to convey their value to a buyer-client and conduct a successful buyer counseling session that educates the buyer-client, builds trust, and leads to a signed buyer representation agreement. The course includes a sample buyer agreement.  You can find the full list of course objectives at https://learning.realtor/diweb/catalog/item?id=11764528.
