Alphabet Soup? Nope, Those are Real Estate Agent Designations!
What do the letters behind a real estate agent’s study stand for? Real estate agents, like doctors, lawyers, and other professionals can fruit designations, certifications, and other credentials. These are usually shown by putting a series of initials after the agent’s name. The most common designations and certifications are: Broker, REALTOR, e-Pro, CHMS, GRI, ABR, and CRS.
What does an agent have to do to obtain the designation or certification?
e-Pro requires an agent take a class on basic personal skills. It has no real estate content, but ensures your agent can use email and the web. It should really be a bare minimum bar for the technology aptitude of your agent.
