The Certified Buyer Agency (CBRŪ) designation is an independent nationally recognized designation that has been offered to REALTORSŪ through local and state associations since 1991. Over 24,000 REALTORSŪ currently benefit from the knowledge that they acquired in this highly rated program. The CBRŪ program is an intensive program that immerses participants in the laws, industry 'best practices' and responsibilities involved in agency representation. CBR covers the various skills and techniques needed to identify, qualify, and bring new buyers into your business. CBR is presented with a street savvy approach that strengthens your marketing, presentation and negotiation talents. It gives you the phraseology and wording needed to attract new customers into your business and make them your buyer clients. Ever have a problem getting buyers to sign a representation agreement? CBR will show you the steps to get those agreements signed and give you background and knowledge to explain to the buyer why that action is to their advantage. You wouldn't list a property without a contract in hand - why work with buyers without a Representation agreement. Learn how to make your lookers into buyers and move them to the settlement table. The requirement for earning this designation is satisfactory completion of a 2 or 3 day classroom based program, or the CBR Home Study option that many agents are choosing for its ease of use.

Though the CBRŪ course designation is not administered by NAR, it is recognized by NAR as an elective option to some of NAR's educational programs. NAR by-laws do permit associations to sponsor designation programs, other then those offered by NAR and its affiliates, when an association feels that a course offers a strong benefit to its members. Agents who earn the CBRŪ designation are not required to complete additional training courses or to pay annual dues to maintain the CBR designation membership. The NO ANNUAL DUES makes CBR an option that can almost pay for itself. Administered by RealNet Learning Services of Virginia, the instructors who are selected to present the CBRŪ program are among the nation's top rated real estate educators. Successful completion of the CBRŪ course does not require the passing of a standardized final exam.
