Why should you work with an Accredited Buyer’s Representative when you’re looking to buy your home?
The answer is really quite simple.
When you work with an ABR®-designated real estate professional, your interests as a buyer become the interests of your ABR®. That’s your ABR®’s business: working with buyer-clients like you to help make the home-buying experience as go as smoothly as possible.
Your ABR can help you:
- Define what you want and need in a home
- Learn about important neighborhood resources and market information
- Find the home that best meets your wants and needs
- Formulate your offer
- Develop your negotiation strategy
- Keep track of all the details throughout the entire transaction—to closing and beyond
The ABR® designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC), and is the only designation of its type recognized by the National Association of REALTORS®. Established in 1988 and now numbering more than 50,000 members, REBAC is the world’s largest organization of real estate professionals specializing in buyer representation. REBAC awards the industry-recognized ABR® designation to REALTORS® after meeting the education and practical requirements.
