Real Estate Terminology

Broker  |  Realtor  |  CRS  |  ABR  |  MLS

 

Broker

A broker is a real estate person who is licensed by the state to practice real estate.  The broker generally earns a portion of the commission on the sale and is employed by the seller unless you arrange to hire a "buyer's broker" to whom you pay a commission.  The agent who lists the house or sells the house also gets a portion of the commission made on the house.  The broker has a financial, legal, and moral responsibility to the seller.

Realtor

A realtor is a real estate professional, real estate agent, or sales agent who must also have a state license, but who works under the supervision of a licensed broker.  A real estate agent brings together people who have a place to sell with people who are looking to buy.  Once you decide on this person, always remember whose side he or she is on.

CRS - Certified Residential Specialist 

A Certified Residential Specialist is the highest Designation awarded to sales associates in the residential sales field.  The CRS Designation recognizes professional accomplishments in both experience and education.  For more information go to The Council of Residential Specialists.

ABR® - Accredited Buyer Representative

The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. This coveted designation is awarded to real estate practitioners by the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council (REBAC) of the National Association of REALTORS® who meet the specified educational and practical experience criteria.  For more information, go to the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council.

MLS - Multiple Listing Service

MLS is a sharing of comprehensive home information among real estate professionals.  Listings brokers enter the data about a home for sale and offer to share the commission with a broker who brings the buyer.  MLS software includes information about a home, from the address, age, square footage, number of bedrooms/baths, upgrades, and school districts to types of financing the seller will consider, and much more.
