John....you are absolutely right. I wish more consumers understood that the CRS and CRB are not easy to get and require a huge commitment form the practitioner and a substantial amount of transactions under their belt before they even qualify to apply for the designations. My simple point is: that the odds are better in finding a competent Realtor if you start with the CRS site. Much better than the odds of working with the 66% of the Realtors in the USA that have never actually completed a transaction. Not slighting anyone, as some of the agents mentioned above are ones that I would list my home with, regardless of the designation. Jeff
