Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABR designation?
The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) is a professional designation awarded by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) that establishes expertise in buyer representation. The program consists of a 2-day, 16-hour core course covering buyer counseling, representation agreements, property search, negotiations, and transaction management. Candidates must also document 5 completed transactions as a buyer's representative (no dual agency) to earn the designation.
How much does the ABR course cost?
The ABR course costs approximately $295-310 for the core program, which includes 16 hours of instruction and course materials. Additionally, REBAC membership is required: first year is free with designation, then $110 annually. Some states may have additional fees for elective courses if required.
What are the requirements to earn the ABR designation?
To earn the ABR designation, you must: 1) Complete the 16-hour ABR core course (or equivalent 2-day program), 2) Pass the course exam (80% for online courses), 3) Be a member of REBAC (first year free), and 4) Document 5 completed transactions in which you acted solely as a buyer's representative (no dual agency). Up to 2 of the 5 transactions may be leases.
How is ABR different from other real estate designations?
ABR is specifically focused on buyer representation, unlike broader designations such as GRI. It is awarded by REBAC (not REBI like SRS), and has a practical experience requirement (5 transactions) that some designations don't have. Many agents pair ABR with seller-focused designations like SRS to serve both sides of transactions.
What topics are covered in the ABR course?
The ABR course covers six core modules: 1) The Value and Role of the Buyer Representative, 2) The Buyer Counseling Session, 3) The Buyer Representation Agreement, 4) The Search-Showing-Selection Process, 5) Offers and Negotiations, and 6) From Contract to Closing. Additional elective courses may be required depending on state requirements.
Does ABR require continuing education or annual dues?
ABR requires maintaining REBAC membership ($110 annually after the first free year). While there are no specific continuing education requirements to maintain ABR, REBAC provides ongoing professional development resources and recommends staying current with buyer representation best practices.
