  • Walk into your first meeting with a buyer fully prepared.
  • Earn a buyer’s trust and turn it into a signed buyer representation agreement.
  • Assess a buyer’s needs and guide them through the market with confidence.
  • Walk buyers through the offer process so they know what to expect.

Earning Your ABR® Designation After the course

The ABR® Designation is an NAR industry designation, which, once completed, recognizes expertise in that area.

  1. The first step is completing the two-day Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) Designation Course and be an active NAR member in good standing.
  2. From there, you’ll have three years to finish the remaining ABR® Designation requirements. Here, NAR breaks down the requirements to finish earning your ABR letters.
  3. When you submit your application form, there is a one-time application fee to NAR: $0.

To maintain your ABR® Designation status, it requires an annual renewal fee to NAR. Your ABR® membership is free for the first 12 months! Year two is prorated based on when you complete the course. After that, the annual ABR® membership renewal is $110.
