Well, today I actually completed my GRI designation. I wanted to ask some of you agents who are more experienced, what designations you have earned, and what value you place on them.
I discovered that the GRI classes were "somewhat" helpful to me. I know that there were lots of issues and topics that I was either ill-informed, or ignorant of, and that these classes helped me to gain a better understanding. There were contract classes, agency issues, environmental issues, multicultural issues, business planning, etc.
I found that the business classes and the class on assistants were particularly helpful to me.
Now, does the GRI make me a better Realtor? Earn me more money? Give me more credibility? I don't really know yet. I do know that I have a better understanding of the finer points of some issues.
I think more than anything, I simply showed to the world, and particularly my customers, that I am very serious about my career, and that I value them enough to be current in my education.
What are your thoughts. . .?
