There are many benefits to earning REALTOR® designations, including enhanced professionalism for both the agent and the agent's brokerage, an opportunity for distinctive marketing that emphasizes an agent’s specialized training, and, of course, increased income potential.
Earning a professional designation allows agents to increase their knowledge and sharpen their skills, as well as to expand their network of real estate professionals through course contacts to generate more leads and referrals.
