Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI)

The Graduate Realtor Institute designation, conferred by the National Association of Realtors, is presented to Realtors who have completed a comprehensive education program in residential real estate. The program's focus is on practical real estate training.

Accredited Buyer Representative Designee (ABR)

The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation, conferred by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC), confirms an agent's mastery of buyer representation.

Until recent years, virtually all real estate agents owed fiduciary duties to the seller. Even when working with buyers on a day-to-day basis, agents were obligated by law to get the highest price and best terms for the seller.

Today, many consumers prefer working with an agent who is contractually bound to represent their interests as the buyer.

Agents who have earned the ABR designation have demonstrated experience in buyer representation. Two key areas emphasized in ABR training are how to identify potential problems with a property and how to negotiate the best price on behalf of the buyer.

REBAC is an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors.
