STEVE:  Hi.  This is Steve Westmark of Counselor Realty.  Thanks so much for watching my video blog this week.  This week, I’d like to talk to you about a designation called the accredited buyer representative or known as ABR.  There’s 168,000 of us out of a million in the United States that have gained this designation.  It’s specifically coursework that helps you in working with buyers and doing your best in representing a buyer in the transaction.

So there’s coursework that goes along with it, a minimum number of transactions that prove that you have worked with buyers and effectively helped them in the purchase and closing of their property.  So you as a buyer should look for an accredited buyer representative to help you in purchasing your home.  They will watch out for your best interest and will follow the guidelines and ethics that are required to make a positive transaction for you in real estate.

Thanks so much for watching today.  Make it a great day.  Bye.
