Engel & Völkers Golden Isles Broker John Hallman Earns Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) Designation, Leading the Way Amid Industry Changes

St. Simons Island, GA - October 10, 2024 - Engel & Völkers Golden Isles is pleased to announce that its owner and broker, John Hallman, has successfully earned the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) designation. This prestigious designation, awarded by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), is held by only 3% of all Realtors. It is specifically tailored for real estate professionals who focus on working directly with buyer-clients at every stage of the home-buying process.

With the recent changes to buyer representation and compensation brought about by the class action lawsuit involving the NAR, John recognized the importance of expanding his knowledge and skills in this area. By obtaining the ABR designation, he ensures that he and the entire Engel & Völkers Golden Isles team remain compliant with the latest regulations and can continue providing the highest level of service to their clients.

"Due to recent changes in buyer representation and compensation for such representation, I felt that this was an important step to take and embrace-not only for myself but also as a leader and mentor for my team," said John Hallman. "The ABR designation equips me to guide buyers more effectively, while also allowing me to support my agents as they navigate these new industry standards."

John's achievement underscores Engel & Völkers Golden Isles' commitment to maintaining a team of knowledgeable and dedicated agents who prioritize clients' best interests. His accomplishment is not only a personal milestone but also a valuable asset for the brokerage as he guides fellow agents in implementing these new practices.

Engel & Völkers Golden Isles has long been recognized for its client-focused approach, and John's efforts reflect the brokerage's ongoing dedication to helping buyers and sellers navigate the complexities of today's real estate market with confidence. By continuously adapting to new industry standards, Engel & Völkers Golden Isles reinforces its reputation as a leader in real estate services across the Coastal Georgia region. This new designation will further empower our team to help clients searching for homes for sale on St. Simons Island and the Golden Isles find the right property while enjoying a seamless, informed experience.
