RealOpen Certified Crypto Real Estate Pro — The mark of an agent who has been trained and tested on taking crypto-funded purchases from first call to closing.

What the credential tells clients and other agents

A RealOpen Certified agent has been trained and tested, through 7 module checks and a 28-question scenario exam (22 correct to pass), on taking crypto-funded purchases from first call to closing and holds a real estate license that RealOpen verified at issue; it is renewed every year.

Trained and tested means qualifying buyers, reading proofs of funds, handling the other side, and getting deals funded: the work of taking crypto buyers from the first call to a cash closing, with the seller paid in dollars and the standard contract. A listing agent, a title officer or a lender who sees the credential knows the agent has done the course and passed the exam.

Other programs teach where blockchain is going. This one certifies what agents need to close crypto-funded deals now.

What you get to market with

A verified badge for your website and email signature. It links to your public profile and shows whether the credential is current.
A public directory profile in the RealOpen agent directory, with the credential on it, that buyers searching for crypto-capable agents in your state can find.
A certificate with your certificate ID, which anyone can check against your profile.
A LinkedIn credential you can add to your profile in one click, named and dated.
Eligibility for referrals when buyers come to RealOpen without an agent in your market. Referrals are occasional and depend on your market; certification makes you findable, it does not fill your pipeline.
