About ABR®

The Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation is designed for real estate buyer agents who focus on working directly with buyer-clients. The goal of the ABR® 2-day designation course is to educate and prepare buyer’s reps to provide the kind of service and fidelity to buyers that sellers have always enjoyed, and to offer methods for building your buyer representation business. In each Course Module you will examine a different topic which together create a comprehensive guide to help you become an effective, efficient and profitable buyer’s representative. Further details such as elective courses and REBAC® requirements can be found below or on our Accredited Buyer Representative page.
