The answer is really quite simple.

When you work with an ABR® -designated real estate professional, your interests as a buyer become the interests of your ABR®.  That's your ABR®'s business, working with buyer-clients like you to help make the home-buying experience go as smoothly as possible.

Your ABR® can help you:

• Define what you want and need in a home.
• Learn about important neighborhood resources and market information.
• Find the home that best meets your wants and needs.
• Formulate your offer.
• Develop your negotiation strategy.
• Keep track of all the details throughout the entire transaction---to closing and beyond.

The ABR® designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) and is the only designation of its type recognized by the National Association of REALTORS®.  Established in 1988 and now numbering more than 50,000 members, REBAC is the world's largest organization of real estate professionals specializing in buyer representation.  REBAC awards the industry-recognized ABR® designation to REALTORS® after meeting the education and practical requirements.
