Accredited Buyer Representative
“Accredited Buyer Representative” is a Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission–approved course useful in obtaining a Pennsylvania real estate broker license.
The overall goals of the ABR® Designation Course are to 1) prepare real estate professionals to thoroughly represent buyer-clients in real estate transactions, and provide the quality of service and degree of fidelity to buyers that sellers have customarily enjoyed; 2) offer ideas and methods for building a buyer-representation business; and 3) develop a self-customized tool for conducting a buyer counseling session.
Students learn to:
- Win the buyer as a client;
- Form a buyer relationship;
- Put buyer representation into action;
- Make offers, counter offers, and engage in negotiations;
- Bring transactions to a successful close; and
- Win repeat business and referrals.
The Real Estate Buyer’s Agents Council® (REBAC®) was founded in 1988, in part to promote exclusive buyer agency. Over several years it redefined its mission to endorse buyer representation in all its legally-recognized forms, altered its direction and strategy, and expanded its sphere of operation. REBAC® membership grew significantly, along with public interest in buyer representation.
That resulted in changes to state real estate regulations, away from sub-agency – especially undisclosed dual agency – and toward direct representation of buyers. NAR® purchased REBAC® in November 1996, and the council has continued to oversee the ABR® Designation course and others.
