There are many designations a Realtor® or broker can have and often one places their business cards to show what trainings they may have. An experienced agent typically has been in and out of schooling and carries an assortment of certification hang on their wall.

The accreditation an agent lists often means they took the time spending money and time studying. An agent often only lists only a few which they themselves feel are most applicable and meaningful. All agents and brokers must complete continuing education or CE courses in order to renew their license.
I know one agent named Mimi spent $15,000+ on many designations listed above. She goes to listing presentation showing these designations to justify she wants top commission. There are also other agent wanting her to join their team to show these credentials.
What credentials do you possess and how they help you to be more successful?
