What are Designations?

REALTOR® Family Designation Programs

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has nine affiliated Institutes, Societies, and Councils that provide a wide-ranging menu of programs and services that assist members in increasing skills, productivity and knowledge. Designations acknowledging experience and expertise in various real estate sectors are awarded by each Affiliated group upon completion of required courses. In addition, NAR offers five certification programs to its members. How do I go about earning designations?

We, at Bucks County Association of REALTORS®, have a partnership with PAR and their REALTOR® Institute. We work to bring our members, a variety of designation courses. Perhaps you want to specialize in a specific area of real estate, or work towards earning your brokers license. Research shows that by obtaining designations REALTORS® can maximize their earning potential!
