    Upon completing the course, you may log in to your Institute Member Portal to apply for the Luxury Property Specialist (LPS) and the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designations.

    Any Coldwell Banker-affiliated sales associate may take the course and become a Member of The Institute. Production verification may be submitted after completion of the course to receive your designation(s). Taking the course and becoming a Member of The Institute does not mean that you have automatically earned the (LPS) or CLHMS designation. Threshold criteria must be met and approved to receive either designation. The threshold criteria for each differ.

    • To earn the LPS designation,
      you must have closed three qualifying property transactions within 24 months of the application date that meet or exceed the brand's Luxury Threshold (all applications must be submitted within 24 months from the training completion date.).

    • To earn the CLHMS designation,
      you must have closed three residential transactions within a 24-month period from the application date that that meet or exceed the Institute's Luxury Threshold in each transaction's Market Area.

    TEAMS

    Members of a team can submit the same property as long as they also submit a Commission Disbursement Agreement as proof that they each received a commission for it. The Institute will review all applications and respond to agents regarding their status. The application process does not affect your ability to register for or attend a course. Your designation becomes active upon both completion of the course and the verification of production. See LPS FAQs for additional details.
