Knowledge leads to success. Most professionals will agree with this statement.
Many REALTORS® attribute the foundation of their success to
their continued real estate education. "Learn More, Earn More"
The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has nine affiliated Institutes, Societies, and Councils, and two certification programs. The ISCs provide a wide-ranging menu of programs and services to assist members in increasing skills, productivity and knowledge. Designations acknowledging experience and expertise in various real estate sectors are awarded by each affiliated group upon completion of required courses. In addition, NAR offers two certification programs. Take time for YOUR professional development!
According to the 2001 National Association of REALTORS® Member Profile survey: Thirty-three percent of REALTORS® have a professional designation, a slight increase (one percentage point) from the 1999 Profile. The most frequently cited designations held by REALTORS® were GRI (Graduate, REALTORS® Institute), CRS (Certified Residential Specialist, RMNI) and ABR (Accredited Buyer Representation). As with affiliate membership, professional designations can significantly increase a REALTOR®'s income. Sales agents holding professional designations have incomes that are $27,000 higher, while brokers with designations earn $18,900 more per year.
