The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation is the highest designation awarded to real estate professionals in residential sales. The designation is awarded by the Council of Residential Specialists, which is an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS®.

There are three different programs to earn the CRS designation, depending on the number of years of real estate experience you have. You must meet the Council's education and real estate experience requirements; hold membership in the National Association of REALTORS® and the CRS Council in order to earn the CRS designation.

The Hawai'i Aloha Chapter of CRS is the local chapter for all CRS designees and candidates. Members have the opportunity to network at chapter meetings, receive information on upcoming events through newsletters, gain access to other local CRS chapters through a state membership directory, and register for CRS courses at a discounted rate.
