For more than 30 years, David C. Witt has built a reputation for quality as a licensed Realtor. Currently with Realty Professionals Heartland agency in Blue Springs, Missouri, David C. Witt has been designated a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS).
Since 1977, more that 35,000 agents have earned the CRS credential. Holding a CRS accents one’s professionalism and opens the door to nationwide referrals. The CRS confers several benefits through its sponsor, the Residential Real Estate Council (RRC).
Those who earn CRS designation can network through their state RRC chapters. In addition, they can subscribe to the Residential Specialist and At Home publications, and join the Qualified Leads Program. All holders appear in the RRC’s print and web directories.
The CRS allows agents to receive discounted insurance from USI Affinity and save as much as 50 percent on RRC webinars and recordings. Other benefits include professionally designed business cards, fact sheets, and sign riders.
To qualify for CRS, agents in the United States have outstanding sales volume and complete several RRC courses. In the 60/30/30 plan, applicants must have made 60 transactions or sold $30 million in three years. For the Pro Program, they must have been a licensed real estate agent for 10 or more years, and have at least 150 total transactions, or have averaged $1 million sold annually with a minimum of 40 transactions. Different criteria apply for other nations.
