The ABR Designation is designed for REALTORS® wishing to build and enhance their buyer representation skills. Licensees earn the ABR designation by completing the required 2 –day Accredited Buyer Representation Course, at least one of the electives, and fulfilling experience credits. Students do not have to be ABR candidates to take these courses. Credits toward the ABR Designation are good for three (3) years.

The Accredited Buyer Representative designation is the “benchmark of excellence in buyer representation”. The Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council, Inc. (REBAC) of the National Association of REALTORS® awards this coveted designation to REALTORS® who meet the following criteria:

• Completion of the 2-day ABR designation course and passing the written exam.
• Maintain membership in REBAC (one year membership is included with registration for the designation course).
• Maintain REALTOR® membership.
• Complete one ABR elective course within three years of completing the 2-day designation course.
• Document five completed transactions as a buyer representative. Transactions may have occurred before taking the ABR designation course within three years of taking the designation course.
