Get Your Accredited Buyer Representative Designation Online!
The Professional Development Institute has partnered with the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) and Learning Library/Realtor University to bring you the online courses you need to obtain your Accredited Buyer Representative designation.
The Accredited Buyer Representative designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. This coveted designation is awarded by the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council (REBAC), an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS®, to real estate practitioners who meet specified educational and practical experience criteria--demonstrating a commitment to serving homebuyers. According to Adorna Carroll, a 2005 National Association of Realtors® vice president and Accredited Buyer Representative with the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council, "The homebuying process is not only complex but also riddled with potential pitfalls...Homebuyers who do not have a buyer's agent working on their behalf are not taking advantage of a valuable resource...Realtors® who have earned the ABR designation have demonstrated a commitment to and experience with the particular needs of homebuyers. These professionals know how to work with their clients to find the right home for each individual homebuyer while protecting the buyer's interests, as well." (Realtors® To Homebuyers: Let Your Buyer's Agent Be Your Guide.) Only realtors who have been awarded the ABR Designation are permitted to call themselves an ABR designee and use the ABR logo.
