It is not considered a specific discipline with a defined body of knowledge, such as brokerage, management, or appraisal.

Rather, real estate counseling is a process—one that requires technical competency, thoughtful analysis, and critical inquiry, all of which are directed toward achieving the best results for a client or employer. A Counselor of Real Estate serves as the link between defining the problem and devising a solution of measurable economic value.

Essential to the counseling process is the trust and confidence that prevails in the CRE-client or CRE-employer relationship.

No matter the property type, real estate decision makers call upon the Counselor's in-depth knowledge for a breadth of services:
