gri: I'm in a CRS Class Right Now - May 31-Jun 2 CRS 204 Creating Wealth Through Residential Real Estate
- 05/31/07 03:02 PM
I'm in a CRS Class Right Now - May 31-Jun 2 CRS 204 Creating Wealth Through Residential Real Estate. There was a corresponding GRI course that I took last year but the two instructors are quite different on their perspectives. One instructor is very aggressive in using tax savings and one is extremely conservative. I just thought this would be a great opportunity for fellow rainers to respond with how they handle their tax savings on investment properties: aggressively or conservatively. For example, the one instructor believes you should bifurcate the cost of an investment property and the other says you should not … (2 comments)
gri: I try to always wear my pins.
- 05/17/07 03:47 AM
I try to always wear my pins. My Realtor pin, my ePro pin, my GRI pin, and my ABR pin. Next month I will have my CRS pin and will wear that one too. I was asked by a staff person in my office if I change them to a new shirt every day. I said I do. She thought that would be too much of a bother. Well, yes, it is a bother but it is a bother with benefits. Besides being a conversation starter where people ask me questions on the market, on investing, on home buying, their home's value, etc., … (4 comments)
gri: Informing our clients about our post licensing real estate education
- 12/10/06 09:20 AM
Well my ABR designation has finally arrived. Next stop is CRS on my training agenda. I made a handout that I provided to my prospective clients showing my 2006 training schedule. I have cut and pasted it below. I believe it helps consumers see that I have gone beyond just getting my real estate license and has put me in with an elite few that have these designations. Sure, there are more designations to earn and designations aren't everything as Broker Bryant (BB) pointed out that experience is a tremendous asset. But I believe it is good for us to share with consumers … (1 comments)

gri: Should We Earn Points for Our Earned Designations?
- 11/23/06 12:42 AM
I have asked about this before in a comment on a blog about designations (please see http://activerain.com/blogsview/NAR-designations-what-they-mean-and-where-to-get-some?3139 for a rather thorough list of designations and http://activerain.com/action/search/search_results?searchfields=blogs&search=designations for a list of all the AR blogs on designations). I have searched blog keywords for designation points and not found anything.Should we earn points for our earned designations? I understand the AR community is not just about the points and I appreciate tremendously the huge amount of work involved in maintaining this network by Matt, Caleb, and all the others moderating and working behind the scenes. I understand our designations are worth much more … (11 comments)
gri: I've Got Some Great News to Share with my AR Community
- 10/27/06 04:51 PM
For the past three days I have been taking the ABR course and elective. The elective was my last course for my GRI so I now have that GRI to add to my ePro designation and in a few weeks I should hear back from Chicago that I can use the ABR designation. CRS training is my next goal. Why do I bring all this up? I'm already over my limit for points for blogging so its not that. :) The way I look at it is that one more Realtor® has gone beyond just getting licensed and learned graduate level valuable information to … (9 comments)
