Designations and Certifications

Curious to know what CBR, CRB, GRI and other real estate designation acronyms mean?

Have you ever noticed the abbreviations that follow a REALTOR’S® name? Do you often wonder what they stand for? Those acronyms are designations, and they usually mean that an agent has received advanced training in various real estate specializations. 

The agents at Brad Hutchinson Real Estate are always learning and keeping up-to-date with industry trends. We regularly take classes, attend conferences, seminars, and workshops to gain more insight into the target real estate market.

We have been serving clients for over 60 years and care about your real estate needs and goals. Our agents will guide you with expertise, understanding, and modern technology to streamline the process. Give us a call, 781-665-2222 or send email with any questions you may have.
