"Today's real estate brokers

and agents want to provide a full menu of services for their clients,

whether they are buyers or sellers," explained Terrence M. McDermott,

president and CEO of REBAC. "The ABR designation, the benchmark of

excellence in buyer agency service, demonstrates to clients that the agent

has taken steps to continue his or her education in the field of buyer

representation and has the proven experience and training to deliver ethical

and professional service to real estate buyers."

Hutcheson, who previously earned

the Graduate Realtors Institute degree, joins more than 24,000 real estate

professionals in North America who have received the ABR designation.

The requirements for this coveted designation include a comprehensive

two-day course in buyer representation, a written examination on legal

and practical aspects of client representation, and practical experience

in the field of buyer representation.

REBAC was founded in 1988 and

currently has more than 34,000 members throughout the world. The National

Association of Realtors, "The Voice for Real Estate," is the

nation's largest professional trade association, representing nearly 720,000

members involved in all aspects of the real estate industry.
