Membership Stats & Surveys

In June 2007, an independent research firm hired by the Council conducted a telephone survey of randomly selected members. A total of 200 members were interviewed representing an 87% response rate and a sampling error ± 5.5% at the 95% level of confidence.
 
Information regarding earnings and production is characteristic of 2006, while other data are representative of member characteristics in 2007.
 
The goal of the membership survey is to provide statistically valid research from CRS Designees and Candidates that can affect the Council’s long-term course of development and short-term implementation priorities.
 
Overall, the typical CRS Designee is a 55-year-old woman who earns an annual income of $110,000 while working 45 hours a week for a franchise company.

Here are the highlights from the 2007 Council membership survey:

  • CRS Designees earn a median income of $110,000 annually, nearly 3 times the $37,300 median income of REALTORS serving as sales associates. (Source: 2007 NAR Member Profile)

  • CRS Designees average a total of 26 transactions per year with gross sales of $4 million annually. 


    • CRS Designees represent the seller an average of 12 times per year

    • CRS Designees represent the buyer an average of 14 times per year

  • CRS Designees have worked in residential real estate an average of 16 years.
  • CRS Designees are an average of 55 years old. 

  • Some 67 percent of CRS Designees are women while men make up 33 percent of the membership.
