Individuals who work with a REALTOR® with the CRS designation typically leave the experience with sentiments similar to the ones vocalized by Tina Turner when she sings the lyrics “You’re simply the best, better than all the rest” in her song Simply the Best.
Quality starts with having the right personnel. Fair Tax Assessment, Inc. recognized that fact and established a screening process for the selection of our field representatives with a requirement that the REALTORS in our organization hold the Certified Residential Specialist designation, often referred to as the “PHD” of real estate. To earn this designation, a REALTOR must have significant transactional experience and fulfill rigorous educational requirements over a multiple year period. Obtainment of the designation is not an easy process. It takes dedication and pride in the profession. Less than 4% of real estate agents in the America have the designation.
However, that 4% is a powerful force in residential real estate and typically accounts for 25% or more of the activity in the residential real estate market on an ongoing basis.
Statistical examples of the attributes of this elite corps of REALTORS include the following:
- The average CRS completes 26 transactions a year versus 10 for a REALTOR agent.
- The average CRS has worked in residential real estate for 16 years versus 3 for a REALTOR agent.
- The average CRS earns $110,000 annually versus $37,000 for a REALTOR agent.

Our field representatives have the local knowledge, transactional experience, and education to evaluate your property tax assessment in comparison to the current, market value of your home. That knowledge and experience was gained by actively working in the residential real estate profession over an extended period of time. There are no substitutes for experience & education.
