CRS = Certified Residential Specialist = Dinah Sundberg
Why is this important? The real estate agents that carry this designation have cared enough about their business to spend the time and money to learn additional tools to help their seller and buyer clients. I found the caliber of the agents attending these classes were exceptional. Only 4% of agents in the U.S. are a CRS. When interviewing an agent to help you sell or buy, ask if they have this designation. This will be an agent that cares.
