What does ABR mean?

Today's real estate brokers and agents want to provide a full menu of services for their clients, whether they are buyers or sellers. The ABR designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer agency service. This demonstrates to clients that the agent has taken certain steps to continue their education in the field of buyer representation. Jennifer has the proven experience and training to deliver ethical and professional service to real estate buyers.

The ABR designation sets Jennifer apart and indicates to the consumer that she practices buyer's representation proudly.

The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation is awarded to those members who have completed a prescribed four module course, passed a written examination and a review board has examined and approved documentation of history of buyer representation experience.

Only one-half of one percent of real estate practitioners nationwide have earned the coveted ABR designation. These few have spent the time and money to learn more about what buyers need from them.

This designation, conferred by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council, confirms an agent's mastery of buyer representation. Agents who have earned the ABR designation have demonstrated experience in buyer representation. Two key areas emphasized in ABR training are how to identify potential problem with a property and how to negotiate the best price on behalf of the buyer.

Members receive a monthly newsletter and are included in a special membership directory which provides detailed information for buyer agency referrals.

An annual education conference helps keep ABR's up to date on ways to better represent our clients.
