CRS, CLHMS (Guild Member - Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist) and ABR. The rest I have let lapse because others 'over-ride' them, if you will. And, I don't claim to still have them, since I don't!

The only one I pay for is CRS which has been extremely valuable over the years. I've got a ton of other 'alphabet soup' that don't require any money every year but I rarely use - if ever. Nobody really cares.

I for one find it ridiculous that we pay for certification "training" that then requires an "APPLICATION" fee allowing us to say we have completed the training.
If the general population was completely aware of this... would they put any value to these certifications?
How much value would you assign to an undergraduate or postgraduate degree if the College or University that issued them; required continuous payments; or your degree VANISHED?
