Accredited Buyer Representative (15 Hours)

ABR designees learn how to win more clients by offering their specialized skills to represent buyers. They also get access to several tools to improve their productivity, automate or reduce their workload, and handle more buyer clients.

Goals for the ABR 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.

This is a two-day, 15-hour course. It is Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission authorized for 1 credit towards broker's license requirements. Depending on Commission requirements issued during any renewal cycle it has the potential to fulfill up to 14 hours of mandatory continuing education for salesperson's or broker's license renewal.

During the 2018-2020 renewal cycle, when all licensees are required to take a 3-1/2-hour Commission-mandated course, the ABR course will yield 10-1/2 hours of continuing education.
