How to earn the SRS designation:
Any licensed REALTOR® who wishes to earn the SRS designation must
complete specialized training and other experiential requirements. We
offer both a classroom and online course to accommodate learning
preferences and schedules.
The first step in earning the SRS Designation is to complete the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) Designation Course.
Once our office has received the student roster from the
course provider/sponsoring organization, please allow up to 10 business
days for processing. You will then receive an email from our office
containing instructions on how to complete the designation requirements
(outlined below).
SRS Designation Requirements:
(Effective March 28, 2016)
All requirements must be completed within two (2) years of taking the
SRS Course or the applicant must re-take the Course. Only REALTORS® who
meet all of these requirements and have been officially awarded the SRS
designation are permitted to call themselves an SRS and use the SRS
credential, emblem and/or logo.
- Successful completion of the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) Designation Course.

you acted as a seller representative (one may be a lease). Only ONE of
the following is required for each of your five (5) completed

- OR -
- Copy of the closing settlement statement (or a letter from your broker verifying that each transaction closed) AND
a copy of the signed seller agency agreement or listing agreement. The
