ERA Offers ABR Designation Through Online Learning Program

ERA Real Estate has expanded its virtual classroom curriculum to include the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation, a National Association of Realtors? sanctioned course.

“In today?s fast-paced market, real estate professionals need the tools and training to help home buyers meet their specific needs,” says Kathi Mathis, director of training, ERA Real Estate. “The convenience of instructor-led Web training offers our affiliates the opportunity to take advantage of educational programs without the time constraints of traveling to a class.”

The two-day course is offered to ERA affiliates in seven 90-minute sessions that focus on buyer agency practices and procedures. In addition to the Web-based training session, candidates must pass a written examination, demonstrate practical experience as a buyer representative and complete one elective course, choosing from four that Real Estate Buyer?s Agent Council (REBAC) offers or two NAR courses to receive the ABR designation.

Rosalinda Chaney, a sales associate at ERA Shields in Colorado Springs, says earning the ABR designation provided her the confidence and knowledge to better assist her clients.

“The ABR course enhanced my skills and ability to guide customers through the process of buying residential property,” says Chaney, a 13-year veteran of the real estate industry. “I look forward to taking a refresher ABR course from the convenience of my home computer.”

To learn more about the ABR designation and other educational programs for sales associates and brokers, ERA affiliates can visit TeamERA.com, the brand?s Intranet site.
