Certified Residential Specialist / CRS
The CRS designation is the highest credential awarded to residential sales agents, managers, and brokers.
A CRS is a REALTOR® who has earned certification from the Council of Residential Specialists by completing advanced training and by meeting significant experience requirements.
Working with a CRS will make a real difference in the purchase or sale of your home, since they have been trained to help save you time and money.
Out of more than 1 million REALTORS®, less than 3% are Certified Residential Specialists.

Experience
Certified Residential Specialists are REALTORS® that have completed a significant number of real estate transactions and have met requirements for advanced training and education. That means that CRSs are experienced professionals who have a proven track record of successful sales and transactions.
Ethics
As REALTORS®, CRSs abide by a strict Code of Ethics and maintain membership within the National Association of REALTORS®.
Negotiation skills
As a home buyer or a seller, you face many risks along the way—financial risks, legal risks, even the risk that a home purchase will fall through. A CRS is trained to minimize those risks and negotiate on your behalf to give you peace of mind throughout your transaction.
Education and experience is what being a Certified Residential Specialists (CRS) is all about. Annually, Certified Residential Specialists earn more than triple the income of the average than non-designee REALTORS® and CRSs complete nearly twice as many transactions each year.
