Questions, answered
What is CoBuy-certified Pro?
A professional designation issued by CoBuy, the company behind the annual co-buying report and the Co-ownership Index. Certification requires completing the coursework and assessment.
Does certification include leads or referrals?
No. This is a credential, not a lead program. Referrals, where they happen, are separate RESPA-compliant agreements.
How long does it take?
About 4 hours of self-paced online coursework, with 30 days to complete from enrollment.
Why is it application-only?
Selectivity is what gives a credential its weight. We review every application and certify a limited number of agents per market.
What happens after 12 months?
The designation renews annually. Renewal keeps your certification and brand usage active.
Co-buyers are 31.5% of the market. Specialists win those deals.
