All Other Real Estate Professionals:

You can enroll below in the Competitive Pricing Specialist (CPS) professional designation program. We believe this will add to your professionalism and increase your client’s education on the critical subject of price and value. Pricing right, i.e. “Competitively,” in the first place is in everyone’s best interest. The requirements are easy and the education should be highly enlightening and valuable to you.

You can complete the requirements at your own pace and your certificate will be issued by the council. There are three requirements, all of which could be completed in a few hours. The council is always here to insure that you can meet these requirements and understand the competitive pricing concept.

First, you must read the book to learn about the Competitive Pricing Concept. Your hard copy of the book will be shipped and a .pdf version will be emailed.

Second, you will receive the “Seller’s Guide to Pricing Real Estate Competitively,” a 6 page, pictorial, and text document. It can be used as a handout to explain the competitive pricing concept to your clients.

Third, you have two choices:

Choice 1 - Purchase the XpertCMA Professional System 7 Edition package. Licensees of XpertCMA Professional systems are automatically considered to be qualified CPS designees because the program is designed for that purpose. Your certificate will be sent immediately upon request.

Choice 2: You can request the XpertCMA Homeowner Edition – No Experience Required – Self Teaching software at no charge. This program was designed for homeowners wanting to do their own market analysis. This program can be used to perform a Competitive Market Analysis for a specific property. If you choose this option, you can perform a Competitive Market Analysis and email a .pdf copy to the council. Upon receipt we will send your certificate, or advise you on modifications required, if applicable.

I am a believer in continuing education. Designations represent that continuing commitment. My personal designations range from the little known to the highly recognized and respected in real estate circles. The cost of obtaining them range from about $100 to $3-5000, and the annual renewal is $25 to $250. So which are the most valuable?

At a NAR Convention, those sponsored by NAR, such as ABR, GRI, and CRS, may enjoy the most respect among my colleagues. However, when it comes to explaining the value of my expertise to the public, a couple of non-NAR designations consistently convey benefits easily recognizable to potential and real clients. Those include my Certified EcoBroker and my CPS.

My colleagues refer to me partly because of my designations. My clients on the other hand, typically have no idea, and often do not care, what all of those acronyms mean. They simply want to know how much I can get them for their property. So, explaining how the designations translate to value to them is important.

At the listing table though, merely indicating that I possess special training and knowledge about determining price and value catches a seller's eyes, ears, and attention. After all, what is more important to them than how much they will get for their property? And every little bit of credibility helps, as you all know. The credential also helps to offset a desire to list with someone else at a higher, but unreasonable, price (oh, no one tries to 'steal' listings in your market?). So perhaps my Competitive Pricing Specialist (CPS) designation, though the easiest to obtain, lowest initial cost (currently $79) and lowest to renew ($25 per year), might just be my most valuable professional designation for my bottom line. And that education is invaluable in today's unsettling market.

Thanks for listening, and good listing to all.
