What is an ABR?

ABR or Accredited Buyer Representative is a designation from the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) that trains experienced REALTORS® in specifically representing the real estate consumer. The ABR designation is awarded to real estate practitioners who complete a comprehensive REBAC course in buyer representation, achieving a passing grade on the written examination, demonstrating practical experience by completing and closing five real estate transactions in which the candidate functioned as a buyer's representative and who maintain a membership in good standing with the National Association of REALTORS® and the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council. Only 3% of Realtors nationwide are ABR designees.

By definition, a Buyer Representative will take the time to listen to your needs and evaluate the buying process previous to showing you property.
