National Association of Realtors
What it teaches
Negotiation tactics and how to handle multiple offers.
What an agent has to do to get it
A two day course and a fee.
What it actually tells you
Negotiation is where your money is made or lost after the offer comes in. Two days of class does not make somebody good at it. Watching them negotiate with you does.

Where I stand on it
I do not hold these letters. I studied the material behind a lot of them, because the subjects are real and a seller pays for what I do not know. I never bought the initials. If a credential is ever shown to get sellers more money, I will earn it that day and put it on this page myself.
Keep going
