REALTOR® Designation Information

When you look at the business card of your REALTOR® and see all those letters after their name, did you ever wonder what the letters mean?  It means that they have taken the time to obtain additional training to increase their real estate skills, proficiency, and knowledge.  

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and its affiliated Institutes, Societies, and Councils provide a wide-range of programs and services that assist members in increasing skills, proficiency, and knowledge.  Designations and certifications acknowledging experience and expertise in various real estate sectors are awarded by NAR and each affiliated group upon completion of required courses.
