ABR – Accredited Buyers Representative
Purchasing a home can be very stressful. It would help to have someone you can trust to help navigate you through the process. An Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) is your ace in the hole when buying a home.
Pat Hogan has earned the ABR® designation representing the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. The Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) of the National Association of Realtors award this coveted designation to Real Estate practitioners who have met specific educational and practical experience criteria. While there are over a million Realtors in the country, only about 4% hold the ABR® designation. What does this mean for you….Pat is committed to providing her buyers with outstanding service, and works hard to ensure the transaction runs smoothly.
