What Is a Certified Residential Specialist?
A Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is a realtor who has been certified by the Council of Residential Specialists and has completed a rigorous course of advanced training and met experience requirements.
What Makes a CRS Unique
Every CRS has extensive experience and has completed a large number of real estate transactions. This experience assures the CRS will provide you with knowledgeable, skilled service.The training a CRS receives is focused extensively on technology and its effect on real estate business. CRS designees possess up-to-the-minute industry information with respect to investments, taxes, legislation, and other important areas. A CRS is able to use this information to advance with technology while making the home sale or purchase worry free.
The Importance of Working with a CRS
Home buying and selling poses many financial and legal risks. A CRS will minimize these risks by helping you understand the marketplace, negotiating successfully on your behalf, and illustrating a clear picture of the proposed transactions. Their expertise, combined with advanced education in finance, technology, and marketing, as well as superb training, confirms that your CRS will make your home purchase or sale successful in every way.CRS designees complete an average of 70 transactions per year (36% higher than other realtors), and average gross sales of $6.8 million annually. Realtors who work as sales agents typically 10 transactions annually and average gross sales between $1 million and $1.5 million per year.
Despite the obvious advantage of working with a CRS, the price is no more than that of the average real estate agent. In fact, their expertise may save you both money and time when you buying a home and increase your profit when you are selling one.
