The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is the highest Designation awarded to sales associates in the residential sales field. The CRS Designation recognizes professional accomplishments in both experience and education.  


Since 1977 the Council of Residential Specialists has been conferring the CRS Designation on agents who meet its stringent requirements. 

• Only 4 percent of all REALTORS® have earned this prestigious credential.
  
  
• Council members were involved in nearly 25 percent of all residential real estate transactions in the United States.
  
  
• The education they receive is considered "top shelf" among the experts.
  
  
• CRS members have access to one of the best networking systems in the country to help their relocating clients.
  
  
• Council members get information about the latest sales and marketing techniques, and changes in the law that benefit home buyers and sellers.
  

There is a difference between CRS members and other agents.  Advanced training, experience, and nationwide access to a network of resources make them the preferred choice in residential real estate.
