This isn't your mother's GRI!

Brand new material, an exciting array of instructors on the faculty and new energy fill the classrooms each month at GRI. If you're contemplating beginning your GRI designation, you can start in any month!



You only have ONE year to get your Sales Associates License

You can complete your post-license education requirement by taking any four GRI courses in any sequence! At that point, only two more modules will earn you the GRI Designation! There's no logical reason to do it any other way and end up without a professional designation.

 

Take your designation to the bank!

Today’s market expects the highest level of expertise from each REALTOR®. In both their heightened proficiency and increased marketability, it is clear that REALTORS® who pursue professional designations have a distinct competitive edge. A 2005 NAR Member Survey shows that REALTORS® with the GRI Designation earned $84,500, while those without a designation earned only $35,500.

 

"I had a ball, learned a lot and made some great friends. GRI is a great way to take your professionalism to the next level. I couldn’t wait for the next module!"

Susan Woodward, GRI

"The GRI classes are fantastic--by far, more beneficial than any other post-license training I have seen out there.

I highly recommend the GRI for 
new REALTORS®!
"

Kathy Fowler, GRI

The REALTOR® Institute program has helped the best and brightest achieve a well-developed understanding of the real estate industry.

Why provisional sales associates should earn the GRI

You can fulfill your post license education requirements by completing any four GRI courses in any sequence and be 2/3 of the way toward your GRI designation!

Through increased awareness of current topics important to the real estate professional, you can better serve prospective clients and customers.

The GRI designation is obtained by attending a specific, intensive series of 99 hours of classroom instruction.

A REALTOR® with the GRI designation is highly trained in many areas that benefit their customers and clients including:

  • Marketing
  • Technology
  • Cultural Diversity
  • Professional Standards
  • Contract Law
  • Broker Relationships

The subject matter has been chosen to educate you about local, state and national real estate practices that affect you, your clients and customers.

The knowledge gained during the GRI program can help you overcome obstacles that can jeopardize a transaction.



Why Brokers Should Encourage Their Associates to Earn the GRI

  • Your sales associates will be more knowledgeable and productive.
  • A recent NAR study shows that REALTOR® members who have a designation earn an extra $42,000 per year.
  • Students will spend only two days out of the office each month for six months. Many years ago, students spent a week at GRI around the state.
  • A better educated sales staff helps reduce risk and liability.
  • Associates with professional designations enhance your company’s image.
