I would look for a REALTOR that has the designations of CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) and GRI (Graduate REALTORS Institute). The CRS designation indicates that the REALTOR has the Advanced Education and actual sales experience to secure the designation. The GRI designation is obtained by completing three successive modules of multiple classes. I am in the real estate business and would look for these attributes in addition to sales history to select the one to represent me if I purchased elsewhere. It's often a person's single largest investment. I'd want to know that they have the knowledge and experience to best represent me. There is a website that will display all CRS designees within a desired market area.
