Accredited Buyer's Representative

How does an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) differ from other buyer’s representatives?

An ABR® is a buyer’s representative who has completed advanced training and who has proven experience in serving the special needs of buyer-clients. In addition to knowing the dynamics of their local market, an ABR®-designated buyer’s rep can help you make informed decisions throughout the entire home buying process. Learn More. An ABR® is also a REALTOR® (a member of NAR) and must abide by a strict Code of Ethics.

 

The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. The ABR designation is geared towards agents who wish to enhance their buyer representation skills, and provides proof to prospective buyer-clients of their proficiency at servicing the special needs of buyers. To attain the ABR Designation, a Realtor® must meet the education and experience criteria.

The distinguished ABR designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council, REBAC, which was founded in 1988 to promote superior buyer representation skills and services. An affiliate of The National Association of Realtors® since 1996, REBAC is the world's largest organization of real estate professionals concentrating on buyer representation.
