About Certified Residental Specialists
What's a CRS?
The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is the highest Designation awarded to sales associates in the residential sales field. The CRS Designation recognizes professional accomplishments in both experience and education.
Since 1977 the Council of Residential Specialists has been conferring the CRS Designation on agents who meet its stringent requirements. Currently, there are more than 38,000 active CRS Designees.
Why Use a CRS?
You have a valued client moving to another state. But you don't have any REALTOR® contacts there. How can you find another REALTOR who has the appropriate education, expertise and professionalism and who will care about your client's needs as much as you do? With nearly 39,000 CRS Designees located throughout the country, it’s easy to find just the right professional for the job.
More important, they are pre-qualified for your clients. As CRS Designees, they have completed advanced training in residential real estate and have a proven track record of sales transactions required to earn the CRS Designation.
Like you, they are consummate professionals. And you know your client is being cared for as if you were their REALTOR® in the new city and state.
