What is an ABR?

An ABR designation is granted to a real estate professional that has completed specific courses of study and passed examinations on specific buyer brokerage issues as well as has demonstrated proficiency in completing numerous Buyer Brokerage transactions. The ABR designation stands for Accredited Buyer Representative. An ABR is granted exclusively by the REBAC Organization (Real Estate Buyer’s Agency Council). Advantages of Buyer Representation: NO fees or charges of any kind required directly from the buyer. Fees are paid by builders or sellers. Your confidential information is only used for your benefit - never shared as in a traditional transaction. You receive counseling in offer pricing strategies based on MLS statistical data. Neither a seller's agent or a dual agent may advise you in these matters - it is the law. Your offer is ONLY considering your best interests and not what is most likely to just get the sale closed. You have an experienced negotiator on your side. Your agent is a specialist for buyers and spends no time working on the seller's issues.
