Is Your Realtor a GRI?

A little over a year ago, I set out to earn the GRI designation.  After an intensive 14 course series, I have achieved my goal.  I now can proudly display the nationally recognized GRI designation which I earned from the Graduate Realtor Institute.

Realtors can earn the designation after successfully completing rigorous coursework covering legal issues, financing, technology, pricing and evaluating properties, residential construction, home inspection, land use, environmental hazards, real estate investment, disclosures and taxation issues. 

The Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation indicates to buyers, sellers and other real estate industry professionals that I have made the commitment to provide a high level of professional service to my clients by securing a strong educational foundation.

Realtors who have obtained the GRI designation are considered leaders in their profession.

Because buying and selling property has become increasingly complex, a keen understanding of real estate laws, tax issues and market conditions is crucial to the success of your real estate transaction.  As a sophisticated consumer, your transaction deserves the knowledge and professionalism of a GRI.
