The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation is the professional designation offered by the Council of Residential Specialists. The CRS designation is the highest professional designation awarded to REALTORS® in the residential sales field. Fewer than 5 percent of all REALTORS® hold the CRS designation.
