Hire a ABR Realtor in Utah County to
Represent You!
Smart home buyers in Utah work with a buyer representative,
whom they hire specifically to represent them.
Especially members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS®
who have achieved the ABR® designation, which stands for
Accredited Buyer's Representative. State law governs the
duties real estate licensees owe to consumers.
This designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyers
Agent Council. The requirements include coursework and
practical experience. The designation helps a consumer
know that the Realtor the person hires is committed to
the highest standards of ethical practice. ABRs have the
training and experience to help buyers through the
entire transaction process from selecting a property
through the close
of escrow.
