Last week I started the process to obtain my RSPS designation by going to an eight hour class. I figured this designation would be useful in my new career as a realtor. Once I got to the class I learned that there are three more online classes I need to take as well as an additional full day course or designation to get my Resort and Second-Home Specialist Certification.
Well I have the first part completed and passed the test, so onward! I’m actually glad that it is more than what I thought it would be. When a certification is easy, it carries much less significance.
This is one of the many aspects that I really like about being a realtor, that of the continuing education requirements. I love learning and being required to obtain so many continuing education credits is a great way to keep learning.
How we love acronyms; even the word sounds really cool! Here are a few more of the designations I plan to obtain in the Real Estate world:
ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative
GREEN – real estate agents with this designation have received advanced training on green building.
CRS – Certified Residential Specialist
ALC- Accredited Land Consultant
CIPS- Certified International Property Specialist
E-PRO- real estate agents with this degree have taken more classes to learn about technologies and digital tools.
CCIM- Certified Commercial Investment Member
ABRM- Accredited Buyer Representative Manager
SRS- Seller Representative Specialist
I think that is a good start, lol 🙂
