Buying or selling a home is one of the most
crucial financial transactions of your life. In what can be a
confusing and sometimes difficult process, it pays to leave as
little to chance as you can. But with the help of a professional,
you can navigate unknown territory with ease. That is easy
to do when you are an experienced agent that has the knowledge
that will move you through negotiations, and the
experience to get the deal closed! Isn't that what is all
about? Ellen Crawford and her team has that experience!
To fill the specific residential needs of home
buyer and sellers, the Residential Sales Council of the National
Association of REALTORS® instituted a class of expert real estate
professional: the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS®).
How can a CRS help me?
Ellen Crawford CRS has undergone a rigorous, specialized
course of detailed training aimed at making residential
transactions as smooth and worry free as possible!
As a CRS, Ellen brings special qualifications to your
needs:
Membership in a local Board, State Association,
and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR.) Every CRS is
part of a much larger network of real estate professionals.
Successful completion of the courses leading to the Certified
Residential Specialist designation, one of the most successful
residential real estate education programs in the country. Every
CRS is a real estate professional equipped with special expertise,
thanks to advanced study in listing, selling, investment, tax and
more. A history of demonstrated sales performance through the
documented execution of residential sales transactions. REALTORS®
must conform to the NAR® code of ethics.
What this means is that when you work with a
CRS, you're working with someone who is more knowledgeable, and
experienced.
What if my needs are
special?
If anything about your transaction is special,
seek out a specialist. A Certified Residential Specialist
designation, offered through NAR, denotes an agent who specializes
in residential real estate. It's as simple as that. Only 3% of all
REALTORS® and REALTOR ASSOCIATES® have earned the right to be
called a CRS. Less than 5% have developed special residential
sales skills and enhanced their residential sales knowledge
through study, dedication and experience. A CRS can help you
optimize your transaction by identifying better prospects,
clarifying investment potential and helping you to understand the
tax ramifications of your real estate transaction. It all adds up
to one thing: better service.
