How is Top 5 different from other designation and certification organizations?

Top 5 in Real Estate is not associated with any other real estate company or industry association, course, award, credential or designation, yet honors each for their own totally distinctive value and prestige. Top 5 in Real Estate does accept a variety of other industry brand and brokerage course achievements, certifications and designations as a way of satisfying the Professional Education requirement for Top 5 in Real Estate. Other differences include: 1. A brand name (Top 5 in Real Estate), which is immediately suggestive of superior real estate success. 2. No additional courses are required to become a member (although additional education and informational resources are provided) because membership is based upon overall career success. Each member must make a commitment to provide consumers with leading real estate information provided by RISMedia.
