Background and Facts
Certified Residential Specialists are part of the Council of Residential Specialists, founded in 1976. Its headquarters are located in Chicago and today there are more than 39,000 CRS designees nationwide. It is an elite group of real estate agents because not even four percent of Realtors have achieved CRS designation. So CRS stands as a symbol of excellence in the field.
In order to earn CRS status, real estate consultants must fulfill a stringent program of educational units and meet requirements for sales volume and number of transactions. CRS courses prepare agents to be the best in the business and include specialty classes that are essential in today's real estate marketplace, such as Real Estate Technology and Putting Technology to Work for Your Clients.
