Promises
make friends. Performance keeps them.
As a real estate Buyer, you know performance counts most. So
engage your own real estate professional to protect your best interests.
From locating suitable properties to contract negotiations &
settlement, seek a
REALTOR®
who will be your representative in buying new property. How do you
identify that qualified
REALTOR®? The Real Estate
Buyer's Agent
Council (REBAC) makes it easy. The
Council is the country's oldest & largest association of real estate
practitioners representing consumers in real estate transactions and some of North America's most skilled
buyer's agents hold the council's prestigious Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation.
The Accredited
Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. This
coveted designation is awarded to real estate practitioners by the Real
Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) of the National Association of REALTORS® who meet the specified educational and
practical experience criteria.
The criteria are:
-
Successful completion of
the comprehensive two-day REBAC course
in buyer representation.
-
Obtaining a an 80% passing grade on the written examination.
-
Demonstrating
practical experience by completing and closing five real estate
transactions in which you functioned solely as a buyer's representative.
Transactions must be completed and closed during the interval that
begins 18 months prior to and ends 18 months after completing the ABR® course.
-
Maintaining
membership in good standing with the National Association of
REALTORS® and with the Real Estate Buyer's
Agent Council.
The ABR®
designation requires extensive classroom training, a
formidable written examination and substantial experience in buyer
representation. An Accredited Buyer Representative is fully
committed to the real estate buyer. It is not surprising then that,
across the country, advocacy groups and licensing laws now encourage
buyer representation. Look for the select group of real estate
sales representatives and companies who have responded to the call.
If you're a real estate buyer, you now have a friend in real estate.
Look for
those real estate agents who proudly display the ABR® designation and
know that they are recognized by the
Ontario
Real Estate Association,
Canadian Real Estate Association
and
the
National Association of
Realtors®
as
professionals in the field of buyer representation.
Robert Tatomir possess the
ABR®
designation and is
one of 5 out of the 916* registered Realtors in Windsor-Essex County to hold
this designation.
