Hall of Fame

It’s not too hard to recall a time when the notion of buyer representation was a foreign concept in the real estate industry. Now, the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) has over 40,000 members and more than 38,000 ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative) designees. And, as the industry continues to grow and flourish, there are certain members performing exemplary acts who deserve special recognition. These outstanding ABR® Designees are selected by an independent panel for inclusion in the REBAC Hall of Fame.

 

Each honoree receives:

 

• Presentation of their Hall-of-Fame credentials at a special REBAC function

• Extensive press coverage

• Coverage in REBAC’s monthly newsletter Today's Buyer's Rep and in the TBR Hotsheet, REBAC's weekly e-newsletter

• Peer recognition

• REBAC Web site prominence

 

Qualifications

What does it take to get inducted? There’s no simple answer. The nomination form asks for a “Summary of activities, achievements, participation in REBAC programs and events, and general contributions to buyer representation undertaken by the nominee that qualifies him/her for inclusion in the Hall of Fame.”

 

Because there are no simple, agreed-upon benchmarks or rigidly-defined requirements for inclusion in REBAC’s Hall of Fame, the best way to understand what makes a worthy candidate is to look at what past REBAC Hall-of-Fame inductees have accomplished. This will reveal attributes which all Hall-of-Fame members have in common, such as:

 

• Dedication to buyer-representation service centered on client needs and wishes.

• Buyer-representation skills based on training, competency and experience.

• Active participation in REBAC, other professional associations and in community organizations.

• Commitment to the advancement of buyer representation and its practice.

Nomination Process

 

• REBAC members are encouraged to nominate (only) ABR® Designees, including themselves, whose accomplishments deserve external acknowledgement.
