Today we are announcing that throughout 2024, NAR is making the popular Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation course, which is typically $295, available to REALTORS® at no cost.
The ABR® course is the first step toward earning the ABR® designation and focuses on the key information and skills agents need today when working with buyers, including how to:
- Walk buyers through written buyer representation agreements.
- Advocate for their clients’ best interests throughout the transaction.
- Articulate their value to the buyer client.
- Work with data to complete insightful market analyses.
- Explain the range of financing options available to clients.
- Stay on top of emerging trends.
- Build relationships that carry beyond the closing.
It’s critical that buyers have access to professional representation during what, for many, is the biggest investment of their lives. Through our partnership with the Center for REALTOR® Development, every REALTOR® can take advantage of this no-cost offer to enhance their ability to articulate and demonstrate their value to buyer clients.
Get started at become.abr.realtor. The first live interactive webinar is scheduled for February 27, with ten more sessions already scheduled through July, and more to come throughout the year. Members can also take the course online at their own pace.
If your association offers the ABR® course and would like to provide it at no cost to members, we will work with you to extend the same benefit. Please reach out to [email protected] for questions.
Thank you for your partnership with NAR and your commitment to REALTORS® and the real estate profession.
