Designed to enhance members' success, the rCRMS program
increases members' knowledge and allow them to successfully manage real
estate transactions for clients while reducing exposure to risk. Earn
this certification and give your clients the utmost protection
during their transaction!
REALTORS® who earn this certification go the extra mile to protect their
client's interests as well as their own. They recognize that in today's
litigious society, good REALTORS® need to anticipate the pitfalls in a
real estate transaction for their clients and themselves and be well
prepared to avoid them. Requirements for certification include attending one
contract course, three core courses, and one elective course.
The requirements must be completed within a two-year period, and rCRMS
holders must recertify every two years by taking one of the contract
courses.
"The quality of instruction and the interaction with other students in these classes has been excellent. I've taken C/E classes from many different sources, and I will tell you that the rCRMS program training classes rival the best of them, including GRI and CRS. The best part is that you are using local real estate attorneys who know Arizona law and our paperwork."-- John P. Hale, ABR, ASR, CRS, e-PRO, GRI, MRE Society Member (Touchstone Residential Realty, Inc., Tucson)
