QSC

• QSC
  A Quality Service Certified^® sales professional offers consumers the only sensible alternative to the "lowest price" - measurably better service and confidence through accountability.
  
  

  What is Quality Service Certification^®?
  This is a new training program, leading to certification, for real estate professionals. It requires agents to follow specific procedures and introduces standards of practice for the benefit of the consumer.

  
  How does Quality Service Certification benefit the consumer?
  When consumers spend significant dollars for a service, they expect consistency, reliability, predictability and accountability from that professional service provider. Until now, the absence of service standards in the real estate industry contributed to the inconsistency of satisfaction and value experienced by the home seller and home buyer. Thus, the Quality Service Certification program was created to offer greater value for the home seller or home buyer by providing consistent, reliable, predictable and accountable service for every real estate transaction. This service is provided by a Quality Service Certified^® real estate practitioner.
