I am very excited to announce that I have just finished all the requirements to receive my "GRI" designation! After nearly two years I have completed the last course of three to earn my GRI designation as a Graduate REALTOR Institute member.

I would highly recommend to any REALTOR to participate in this program. The couse information and the instructors were excellent. What you learn in these classes you will be able to apply to your everyday real estate business. It was well worth the investment.

Bill, Congratulations! I have had my GRI for several years now. The CRS classes are even better. I highly recommend getting your CRS designation. I believe I remember them saying in the classes that CRSs generally earn 40% more than non CRSs or something similar to that. The classes are the most interesting of any I have ever attended.
