RRC Promotes CRS Designation in Zillow Group and Realtor.com Advertising Campaign
CHICAGO, July 23, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The Residential Real Estate Council (RRC), formerly the Council of Residential Specialists, announced today the launch of a new advertising campaign promoting agents who earned the CRS Designation. The Designation is now featured in three distinct advertisements that launched in July on both the Zillow Group (which includes Zillow and Trulia) and Realtor.com websites.
The focus of the campaign is to increase awareness of residential real estate agents with the CRS Designation and to explain why they are the best choice for consumers when they are making the decision to work with a REALTOR® in their area.
The Council awards the Designation to experienced REALTORS® who have completed advanced professional training and demonstrated outstanding achievement in residential real estate. Currently, 3 percent of all REALTORS® hold the designation nationwide. Compared to the average agent, CRS Designees are more experienced, more educated, and more successful.
“We know agents who earned CRS designation are simply the best, most qualified choice to guide consumers through a successful transaction,” said Anthony Priore, Chief Marketing Officer for the Residential Real Estate Council. “We’re thrilled to now bring that message directly to consumers at a time when it is relevant to them.”
Zillow Group advertising reaches two-thirds of the market share with four out of five U.S. homes being viewed on their website. Nearly 160 million monthly visitors access Zillow Group brands with 50 percent planning to buy or sell. Realtor.com reaches 40 million visitors each month, with 38 average views per visitor. Each visitor also spends an average of 6.5 minutes on their website.
The power, prestige, and expertise of Certified Residential Specialists is now on display for all to see – from potential home buyers to home sellers to other real estate professionals.
