ABR - Accredited Buyers Representative Continuing Education

As a professional, full time Realtor®, it’s important to me to continue my education beyond the state requirement. ABR Certification is my current course to study. I’m giving the online class a whirl. Finding the right class at the right time and location can be a challenge. I love taking continuing ed because, no matter how many times I hear similar material I often gain clearer understanding or a tip on the topic that is valuable. ABR certification class is no different. I’ve completed the first three modules and already picked up a point or two.

My goal is to serve my clients to the best of my ability and go beyond what they expect. I believe in order to do that I have to continue to learn, increase my knowledge & fine tune my skills.

My hope is that ABR will help me take my business to the next level. Wish me luck!

Didn't take it on line, but just got my ABR too.  Like you, I believe hearing material more than once always give me the chance to build on what I learned earlier.

Diane, I fully agree.  I've been doing the GRI series and even when things I know, are covered, it never fails but that I learn something new and useful.

While I prefer the in person courses I do like the convience of being able to schedule CE so it works for me and also the online CE is usually much cheaper in our area. Keep on learning!
