Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) Webinar

Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) Webinar
As part of NAR promotions, GBAR is offering the ABR® Designation Course at no cost to our REALTOR® members. 

This course differs from NAR's online options by being offered with a local instructor, covering Massachusetts-specific info, and offering 10 CE credits.


The Accredited Buyer’s Representative® (ABR®) Designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. This coveted designation demonstrates to peers and consumers your commitment to providing outstanding service for real estate buyers. This course examines agency theory and practice, standards of care in the delivery of buyer agent representation, and strategies to target niche markets and build your buyer representation business. You’ll also receive instruction on how to successfully handle offers and negotiations as a buyer agent, and learn about disclosure requirements, vicarious liability and other risk management issues.

The ABR® course is the first step toward earning the ABR® designation and focuses on the key information and skills we need today when working with buyers, including how to:

• Walk buyers through written buyer representation agreements.
• Advocate for our clients’ best interests throughout the transaction.
• Articulate their value to the buyer-client.
• Work with data to complete insightful market analyses.
• Explain the range of financing options available to clients.
• Stay on top of emerging trends.
• Build relationships that carry beyond the closing 

You'll Learn in the ABR® Course:

-Buyer Representation Agreements and Buyer Counseling Sessions
Learn how to create a buyer representation agreement, conduct a successful buyer consultation, and communicate your value to clients.
-Navigate Each Step of the Buyer Side Transaction Process
Understand every piece of the transaction puzzle, including the search-showing-selection process, offers and negotiations, appraisals,  and closing on the property.

-Communicating Your Value as A Buyer's Representative
This course covers how you can promote yourself in the buyer's market as a buyer's rep and grow your business using ABR® designee member benefits.
