Why Hire a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)?

 

Buying or selling a home is one of life’s most crucial decisions. In what can be a confusing, overwhelming and sometimes difficult process, it pays to use a professionally trained, residential specialist to help you get the most out of your investment. Someone who understands the complexities of the Nashville housing market, how to best position your interests, someone who will get to know you and what you want from the transaction, and someone who will tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear.

To address the specific residential needs of home buyers and sellers, the Residential Sales Council of the National Association of REALTORS® instituted a class of expert real estate professional: the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS®). The CRS® designation is considered by many the “Ph.D.” of professional residential real estate credentials.

CRS agents are an elite group of dedicated professionals who have met stringent education and experience requirements. Every CRS agent has completed one of the most successful residential real estate training programs in the country. Every CRS is a real estate professional equipped with uncommon expertise, thanks to rigorous advanced study and specialized training in listing, selling, negotiation, marketing, investment, financing, taxes and an especially strong focus on the applications of today’s cutting-edge technology to the real estate industry.

That’s why only 3% of REALTORS® nationwide have earned the title: Certified Residential Specialists (CRS®). What this means is when you work with a CRS, you’re working with someone more connected, more knowledgeable, and more experienced.

CRS agents have a proven record of success, 3 times more successful, in fact, when compared to the average REALTOR® according to industry surveys. Your trust in a CRS® is well-earned, thanks to these distinctive attributes:

  • A superior level of education in residential sales

  • A greater understanding of the movements and trends of the local housing market

  • A skillful practitioner of the practical applications of state-of-the-art technology for real estate

  • A professionally trained negotiator who puts the client’s goals ahead of everyone else

  • A well respected affiliation with a support group of other supremely qualified specialists

  • A hard-earned professional certification in the residential specialty – CRS is the highest and most respected in the industry

 

Put your trust in the best. Get the job done right with the help of a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS®).

 

You want success. You want a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS®).
