Wonder what CRS means?

Ever wonder why Real Estate agents use designations behind their names? It is a good thing......designations, require education. If you see letters behind your Realtor's name, they have spent time and money.

CRS stands for Certified Residential Specialist. To earn this designation, you must attend many hours of education related to marketing, technology, and finance. You must also achieve high volume sales within a specified period. CRS also must maintain membership with the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Did you know only 4% of all Realtors have earned this designation, and I am one of them.......proud to be one.

I am the Treasurer of the Lone Star CRS East Texas Chapter. I just finished lunch today at Hollytree Country Club for our quarterly meeting. At our meeting today, Barbara Holley, with the City of Tyler's Planning and Zoning spoke. As Real Estate Professionals, we continually seek the knowledge of members in our community.

One more Fact - Did you know that all real estate agents are not REALTORS .......only agents that are members of the National Association of Realtors are allowed to use the term REALTORS. Remember to ask this question.........
