Designation with Distinction

CRS Designees will now be required to take two hours of CRS education within a calendar year, in addition to paying their dues, to maintain their designation standing. This change was approved by the Board at the Annual Meeting as a measure to help differentiate the CRS designation.

The new requirement will take effect for the 2018 renewal period. CRS Designees will have the entire 2017 calendar year to earn the two hours of education credit they need prior to renewal. The two hours can be fulfilled by taking any CRS classroom, eLearning course, live or recorded CRS webinar, or by attending Sell-a-bration®.

Find a list of more than 15 free webinars online that you can download and listen to anytime at our Free Webinar Library. Titles include “Best In Tech: Really Cool Real Estate Apps to Simplify Your Business,” “Build a Powerful Niche with Residential Real Estate Investors,” and “Communicating Effectively with Buyers and Sellers.” You can also tune in during CRS Week, Sept. 11–15, for free, live webinars.

The CRS Designation is the most recognized and prestigious professional designation in the industry, and this new continued learning requirement is designed to help reinforce the value and distinction of the CRS Designation.
