I was a nervous, goofy first-time home buyer and Carrie York made the process seem as easy as tying my shoes. As each step/hurdle presented itself, she gave me the information, reassurance and boost needed to get to the next step. When I had my first (and only) home buying meltdown, Carrie showed up with a chocolate bar. You gotta love that. At that moment, I knew Carrie was gonna make the deal work to my best advantage. Now, I have a really cute house that I got for a great price. Thank y

Have you ever noticed those mysterious letters after Realtors names? There is really no mystery to it.those initials are professional designations the Realtor has earned through continuing education. No more mystery.

Here is information about the designations held by Realtor/Brokers here at Austin REAL Pros, Inc.

What is CRS?
The Council of Residential Specialists is the largest not-for-profit affiliate of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. It is composed of over 40,000 Certified Residential Specialists and general members and was created to provide superior member benefits which enable residential specialists to maximize their professional performance. The Council was founded in 1976 and has four objectives:

  • To enhance members' continuing competence through providing superior educational opportunities in a cost-effective manner.
  • To provide and promote benefits which enhance the economic value of membership in the Council.
  • To create and maintain organizational systems to ensure the integrity of the Council.
  • To create and maintain procedures to ensure a standard of excellence that is required for earning and maintaining the CRS Designation.

Only 5% of Realtors have the Certified Residential Specialist designation.

What is ABR®?

The Austin skyline has changed quite a bit since I first earned my Real Estate license in 1985-- but in my eyes Austin is a beautiful as ever! We are a unique town in that we are very concerned with the environment, our water and our land. We hold it in a special place and want the best always!
