CCS® Certified Condominium Specialist

CCS® Certified Condominium Specialist –Condo’s have grown considerably over the last number of years. Condo’s play a very big part of our real estate market; great for first time home buyers, those who want to down size, and for those who don’t what the responsibilities of maintaining the outside of a home. In 2006, The Calgary Real Estate Board developed the Certified Condominium Specials certification, because condos are a different type of ownership than single family homes. This type of ownership has many issues, concerns, and complexities that require special knowledge to properly represent clients that are buying or selling condominiums. Currently the course is not mandatory; it is up to each individual REALTOR® to choose to upgrade their education. At this time there are only 13% (about 700 REALTORS®) in Calgary with the Certified Condominium Specialist designation, (and that hasn’t changed much over the last couple of years).
