What is an Accredited Buyer’s Representative?
WHY USE AN ABR®
Buying a home is no small matter. Besides being the largest financial transaction you may ever undertake, it’s probably also the most complex. There are many good reasons to work with a qualified real estate professional—especially a trained professional who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation, representing best-in-class buyer services.
When you look for an ABR® before you look for a home, you’ll be served, not sold. Your interests become their interests. And you’ll be working with someone who has gone the extra mile by completing specialized training in delivering the best in buyer-representation services. Plus, a REALTOR® who has an ABR® designation also has an established track record, with proven experience in representing the concerns of homebuyers.
The ABR® designation is awarded through the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council, or REBAC, which was founded in 1988 to promote superior buyer-representation skills and services. REBAC is an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

We began our search from out of state and Brian was exactly what we needed. He is a transplant to the region and has done extensive research about the area and what each neighborhood has to offer. He easily understood what we were looking for, and when we finally made an offer (sight unseen) it was because we trusted what he saw in addition to his knowledge and support. I would highly recommend working with Brian. -Anonymous
My experience with the Ladd Group has been superior, due in large part to the efforts of Alice Fairbairn. Alice has been a true professional, and a pure delight to work with, and one of the very few people I have worked with over the years who seemed to have a genuine interest in my needs, instead of just focusing on the sale. Her associate, Allison Wiggins was also a positive part of the process. The Ladd group is indeed fortunate to have these two professionals as members of their group.
Brian has helped us purchase two properties in Bend now. We’ve worked with multiple realtors in the past, and Brian has proven to be by far the best (better than all of them combined I daresay). He’s quick to follow up, diligent, really shows he has your best interest at heart, and he is altogether pleasant to work with. -Fred
Denise Wyatt was amazing throughout the process of both selling our current home and purchasing our new home. She helped sell our home at the top of market value in about two weeks, and helped us negotiate a number of changes and upgrades in our new construction home purchase. Other members of the Ladd group also were very helpful and responsive. We have bought and sold many homes over the last 25 years and Denise and the Ladd group team have been the best we’ve worked with.
My representative at the Ladd Group was Steve LaCrosse and in spite of talking with numerous firms and sales agents, he was the only one I felt comfortable enough to trust to represent me in a significant financial transaction. The characteristics that distinguish Steve from many is that he actually cares, listens, communicates honestly and with his intelligence, this allowed him to meet and overcome adversity in stride. After listening to my rambling about what I wanted and didn’t want, he synt…
We first became acquainted with Brian 12 years ago while building our home in Arvada, Colorado by Bruttany Builders. Brian was always willing to make sure all of our concerns were addressed and remedied. We began looking for a second home in Steamboat Springs, Colorado 3 years ago. We were pleasantly surprised that Brian was a Real Estate Agent in the area and to be honest that is why we pursued the search at that time. Brian made himself available on the week-ends that we would be traveling…
They are a class act for sure. We had bumps in the road during the buying process but Denise stood next to us every step of the way, I can not say enough about how great and how helpful she is!!”
We chose Erin Martin with the Ladd Group to list our home. She exceeded our expectations multiple times over with her personal service and timely manner. A real go getter. We really appreciated all of her hard work and late hours she worked on our behalf. Superior service with a true professional group.
We had a great experience working with Bryan Hilts an associate of Brian Ladd. Bryan is very knowledgeable and patient. Very professional. We looked at a broad range of homes in several different neighborhoods to get a feel for Bend and the activities associated with each neighborhood. I would recommend Bryan and anticipate continuing to do business with him.
I have closed several deals with Brian in Colorado and he is one of the most diligent, responsive and competent brokers my company has utilized. I would highly recommmend him to anyone. He totally understands how a transaction should be completed and gets you there with little aggravation. -Anonymous
