Designations 

Designations acknowledge experience and expertise in various real estate sectors and are awarded upon completion of required courses and exams.  Many of the designations require a history of sales experience and proven results.  

Graduate of Realtor Institute®

The Graduate of REALTOR® Institute (GRI) symbol is the mark of a real estate professional that has made the commitment to provide a high level of service through a strong educational foundation.  Attending an intensive series of 100 hours of classroom instruction, the GRI is "graduate school" for realtors®.  Subject matter includes: contract law, professional standards, sales and marketing, finance, and risk reduction.  Less than 5% of realtors® have their GRI designation.
