Start earning and using your Virginia REALTORS® Digital Badges today. Show your clients, future clients, and peers your professional prowess with a modern, informative digital badge (or 5!). 

What is a Digital Badge?

A visual representation of a certification or learning achievement, allowing individuals to showcase their credentials. Badges enable professionals to display certifications, designations, and learning achievements to potential clients or employers—without direct interaction. These badges can be used in signatures on an email, websites, social media, or even in digital resumés'.

What happens when I earn a digital badge?

When you earn a badge, you will receive an email from badges@virginiarealtors.org (See example email below). In this email, you will see detailed directions on how you can use your badge to share your accomplishment with your peers. SAVE THAT EMAIL; you can refer back to it if you ever want to add your badge somewhere new.

What could badging do for my business?

Badges will show your potential and current clients that you are engaged in various aspects of learning and volunteerism, just by looking at your signature or your social media. Making you stand out amongst the rest of your competition, in this way, a badge advertises your knowledge to clients without any engagement.
