The Goal: Understand REALTORS® designations and certifications and view the designations that NAR has published for an agent in GrowthZone.
Before You Begin:
- You must have the Real Estate Edition enabled and access to the agent’s contact record.
- The agent must be an active member of NAR for designations and certifications to apply.
REALTORS® designations and certifications through NAR are specialized credentials for REALTORS®. Both designations and certifications are forms of real estate agent education that require real estate professionals to be active members of NAR. The difference between the two is that a designation requires annual dues, but a certification only requires an application fee without annual dues.
| Designations are managed in M1. You cannot add additional NAR designations via the GrowthZone software |
Step-by-Step Instructions
View REALTORS® Designations
- Open the desired agent’s contact record and click the Real Estate tab.
- Scroll to the Designations section. This section displays all designations published from M1 and is not editable.
Common Pitfalls
- Trying to add a designation in GrowthZone: Designations are managed in M1 and cannot be added or edited in the GrowthZone software. When a designation status becomes inactive, a designation code of N is sent to GrowthZone and the designation is removed from the NAR Designations section.
