I have read about the subject on designations in real estate, and some people feel strongly that the more you have, and the quality of those that are recognized by the Realtor community, have benefited those individuals greatly. The big one I am bringing up today is the GRI designation. I told myself I wanted to attain this designation at some point in my career, and wonder out loud when that time should be: when business is slow, when I have achieved a certain level of business? It's a lengthy course that will require travel away from my home city to complete in it's entirety. Can anyone, who has achieved this designation, put a dollar amount on any increase in sales as a result, or even say they got a referral. I often read that as a selling point to many of the designations that are out there. Besides the great educational opportunity it will provide me, I need to know if it has brought more to the table. I welcome any comments on the subject.
Good luck to all,
Bruce
