NJAR® Recognizes November as REALTOR® Designation Awareness Month

(Edison, NJ) The New Jersey Association of REALTORS® (NJAR®) and the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) are pleased to announce the arrival of REALTOR® Designation Awareness Month. Throughout the month of November, NJAR® will be informing its members of the benefits of pursuing an official NAR-endorsed designation or certification program.

The real estate business is influenced by many components, such as evolving technology, changing legalities and consumer trends. NAR and its nine Institutes, Societies and Councils offer twenty advanced education designation and certification programs to help members remain up-to-date in such a dynamic environment. Although other designations exist, only these twenty carry an official NAR endorsement.

"NAR designations can enhance your career through personal education, a deeper understanding of the industry and the strong network of professionals who share your interests," said NJAR® President Mary Davis, ABR, GRI. "I encourage NJAR® members to explore one of the several designation programs offered at the annual Triple Play REALTOR® Convention and Trade Expo in December. You will find the rewards are worth the time invested."

The annual Triple Play REALTOR® Convention and Trade Expo, sponsored by the New Jersey, New York State and Pennsylvania associations of REALTORS®, will take place December 6-8 in Atlantic City. Designation courses toward the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager (CRB) and Performance Management Network (PMN) designations will be offered in addition to a certification program in Resort and Second Home Markets. For more information on these courses, visit http://www.realtorstripleplay.com. Additional designation courses are offered throughout the year by NJAR® and New Jersey's local boards/associations of REALTORS®.
