If I had known then what I know now....
People just getting started in the business often ask - what's the best training to pursue right now. Conventional wisdom steers them to ABR and/or GRI. While these are excellent designations to pursue, the number of classes required for the GRI is somewhat daunting.
I suggest getting involved with CRS immediately. Even though there is a significant production requirement, the knowledge gained from the CRS courses helps get your business up to speed even more quickly than the ABR or GRI - a jump start if you will.
e-PRO is great for an overview of technology integration into real estate, and counts as an elective for ABR.
Plan a training/education strategy, and attend classes outside your market area to maximize networking opportunities. As your business grows you'll find less and less time for education.
