Build your business with home buyers as a CBR designee!

Focus on the ‘forgotten’ side of the transaction! Obtain the skills necessary to effectively represent home buyers with a Certified Buyer Representative designation; the CBR designation enables consumers to identify real estate buyer agents who can provide value with a proven level of education and expertise. CBR was the first registered mark to be used identifying real estate buyer agents; since its inception, the course has continued to meet the requirements for instructional excellence and has a proven track record of success.

The CBR designation is earned after completing twenty-four hours (3 days) of classroom study. A significant benefit of the CBR designation is that designees can continue to use their certification mark by simply maintaining their membership in the National Association of REALTORS and complying with the NAR Code of Ethics; there is no mandatory annual fee required to retain the CBR designation. The CBR designation has been approved by NAR as a professional designation that can be offered to boards and associations.

Additional benefits to CBR designees are:

The right to market as a CBR, assuring consumers quality representation
The right to market oneself to relocation sources as being fully trained to represent the buyer client
The right to use the CBR logo on business cards and stationary
The opportunity to generate referral income through networking with other CBR’s
The satisfaction of obtaining cutting-edge skills necessary in today’s marketplace
Peer recognition for having achieved the highest level of certification in buyer representation

The CBR designation appeals to the agent who has the foresight to select the training program that has met the rigors of street refinement and who desires both implementation skills and information.

Sample Testimonials from CBR Classes:
