The ABR® and ABRM designations are sponsored by REBAC - Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.

The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. The Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council awards this coveted designation to real estate practitioners who meet the specified educational and practical experience criteria.

The current criteria are:

  • Completing a comprehensive two-day REBAC course in buyer representation, and passing the written examination.
  • Demonstrating practical experience by completing and closing five real estate transactions in which the practitioner functioned as a buyer's representative.
  • Maintaining membership in good standing in the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and in the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council.

The Accredited Buyer Representative Manager (ABRM) designation is the only buyer representation designation recognized by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® for managers, brokers, and owners. The educational program, developed in partnership with the Real Estate Brokerage Managers Council, is geared to real estate firm brokers, owners, and managers who have incorporated, or wish to incorporate, buyer representation into their daily practice. The Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council awards the ABRMsm designation to those members who meet the specified educational and practical experience criteria.

The current criteria are:

  • Completing the comprehensive two-day REBAC ABR® course in buyer representation, and passing the written examination.
  • Completing the comprehensive one-day REBAC ABRM course in buyer representation, and passing the written examination.
  • Certifying that the broker/owner/manager has overseen a minimum of 25 real estate transactions that involved a buyer agent, or that the broker/owner/manager has more than 2 years of experience in the oversight of buyer representatives.
  • Maintaining membership is good standing in the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and in the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council.
