Choosing the right REALTOR® is the key to a successful sale. For many sellers the all-important step of picking an agent can be a daunting task. Knowing the credentials to look for in a REALTOR® will help both the seller and the buyer feel confident throughout the entire home-transaction process.

A Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is an agent with an outstanding level of achievement in the profession. CRS agents have either a high volume of sales or high number of transactions (and often both), as well as advanced training in areas such as business planning, real estate investing, marketing, and technology. For additional peace of mind: CRS agents maintain membership in the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and abide by its Code of Ethics.

When you work with a CRS, you are working with the top 4 percent of agents in the country. He or she can offer years of experience, demonstrated success and insightful advice to help you make smart decisions about selling your home. The real estate market is tough, fast-paced and competitive, but with a CRS agent by your side, selling/buying your home becomes a profitable and enjoyable experience.
