Sometimes you will see an agents name with a designation or two at the end of their name. i.e. Jeff Kessler ABR,GRI
These designation show the dedication the agent has to his or her real estate profession. I personally got my designations in my first year. I wanted to learn as much as I could. This is a very difficult profession as most agents will fail within their first 5 years. I have been around 10 years and going strong. This is what my two designations mean to you.
