I Instruct ABR® Nationwide
Submitted on 08/28/2016
I have been a real estate broker since 1990 and the ABR was the first designation I received and I was surprised I actually learned a lot - but the cool thing is the information and services you receive in addition to the education.
My students are very comfortable with the class, and most have significant great thi...

To Truly Represent Buyers you may want to consider this training
Submitted on 08/10/2016
I first took the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) in Seattle in the early 90's. It was not a NAR member company at that time, and sub-agency was still the way business was done. It felt odd to me, after spending so much time with my buyers, that I would have to represent the SELLER on the transaction. With sever...

Easy to Get
Submitted on 11/18/2015
When I first got this designation it was still relatively new. It was looked at as being very special and the directory was like a small phone book. Now there are tens of thousands of agents that have it and it has been diluted. I have learned so much at the beginning but now most all agents know it. I am considering ...

Solid focus on Buyer representation
Submitted on 09/28/2015
This is one of the first courses I think a new licensee should focus on. While it does have a production (5 transactions) component, the information provided will accelerate reaching that goal. This was one of the first courses I took back in 2003/2004 - and all out team members are encouraged to enroll in this cours...

Most Valuable Designation
Submitted on 04/27/2015
The ABR designation is the most valuable one that I have earned to date. Besides the well written education courses, I really like that there is a production component (five buyer transactions) to be awarded the ABR. The elective courses cover a wide range of topics -- second homes, working with the military, new const...

ABR Designation is Valuable
Submitted on 03/10/2015
The ABR designation is a valuable resource. I particularly like the monthly mailer. I frequently pick up ideas that are good future blog post topics for Active Rain. I learned a lot of Buyer Rep ideas in the initial classes taught by Curtus Hall. This is a Learn to Earn Designation worth it's weight in gold.

It is a valuable designation.
Submitted on 07/28/2014
I got my ABR several years ago when it was rather new designation. Since that time I have referred to the principles and the strategies I learned through taking the course. I have valuable tools available and read the newsletter regularly. There is so much good material at our fingertips and quality agents to send busi...

ABR...yes you should
Submitted on 05/25/2014
Whether you consider yourself to be primarily a listing agent or work with buyers, we highly recommend this course. You will be better able to see both sides when you know where a buyers agent is coming from and the training that they are bringing to the transaction. It is not a magic pill to attract buyers...it is a ...

ABR Review
Submitted on 12/02/2013
Every agent should go though the ABR courses! The knowledge is very helpful for all agents. Agents don't get why buyer agreements are needed and the course explains this and how to get buyers to sign without feeling threatened.
My only complaint is paying the annual fee. I don't see why it's necessary and am co...
