Consumer-Certified Real Estate Consultant
Are you prepared to restructure your business as a
Real Estate Consultant?

The impact of technology in real estate could pale by comparison to the radical demographic and people-related changes of this decade according to findings like A. D. Little Company's 1999 NAR survey.
 

•  The number of empowered FSBO's will more than double to 40% of available homes for sale
• Aggregators will deliver real estate services to 20% of the marketplace
• The role of today's real estate agent will all but vanish, transforming those with expertise and
   knowledge into a more professional breed - that of Real Estate Consultant
  
  The good news is that specialized consultants trained to determine and address the unique  needs of each consumer - being compensated through new fee models including retainers and fee-for-services income, will replace hard-hammering, manipulative salespeople.

Real estate consulting is expected to flourish in the new millennium as real estate agents start to charge for the many tasks they now perform for
sellers and buyers "on a contingency" of a sale.
The Consumer-Certified Real Estate Consultant (C-CREC) is the first international designation focused on results oriented skills required by the consumer; not what the real estate industry chooses to deliver to them. Membership in the National Association of Real Estate Consultants (NAREC) is required for C-CREC designees.

The real estate business model of "one size fits all" is being challenged in the industry as consumers are demanding and getting what they want - unbundled services.
Whether you call the new models fee-for-service, flat fee service, unbundled brokerage, or alternative brokerage, the full service model of yesteryear will give way to more consumer options in the millennium.

Full-service packages will not disappear as many home sellers and buyers will still need a full complement of service and due diligence.
The time constraints and the lack of knowledge about complicated real estate transactions facing many home sellers and buyers will reinforce the need for full-service brokerage.

Many home sellers with their "do-it-yourself" caps on are wondering what they can do to cut down on the workload of the agent and thus, save money.
The proliferation of dot com real estate services offering discounted and fee-for-service business models are part of this emerging trend and it is expected that some of the traditional companies will follow suit.

As the result of her research on emerging trends for unbundled services, Julie Garton -Good has created a real estate consultant designation program, "Consumer-Certified Real Estate Consultant™" (C-CREC™) through the National Association of Real Estate Consultants® (NAREC®).
