That is a great accomplishment.  I wil be taking the final GRI 400 series in MAY to be able to sit for the associate brokers licence.  CRS is my next goal after that is completed.

Grace - Congratulations on your big achievement!  I don't have my CRS, just my broker's license.  I know that it is a big deal.  Kudos!

Wow - I am tickled pink - thanks to all for stopping by and commenting!

Hello Scott, Congrats on pursuing your GRI and Associate Brokers! YOU WILL Love CRS - I am doing my next Blog on one of the BEST Instructors from this last class - be sure to check out Jackie Leavenworth.

Hello Jonelle,  Great Goals you have !!! Jeff and I are also concurrently in Brokers Classes LOL - alot of take out meals on test days if you know what I mean:)

Hello Jason, It was a big time commitment for me since each core classes were 2 days long and usually held in Spring, in our neck of the woods, when the busy season begins:)

Hello Robin,At F.C.Tucker we have a consistent top producer named Susan Graves who inspired me to get this designation and she is proof of the pudding that CRS designees do more and earn more! I will definitely keep you in mind for referrals - can't wait till the next directory comes out to see my name among those who have already walked this walk!

Sincerely to all

Grace
