Yes, it’s true. I have the GRI designation. It’ll look flashy on my business cards and who doesn’t love acquiring prestigious looking initials after their name
To me, it’s all about professional development and taking the time out of your career to better yourself through education. The GRI program was a twelve day, all day, intensive, three week course designed to keep Realtors on top of their game so we can better serve you, my would-be clients. It wasn’t an inexpensive program, but it’s all worthwhile to keep me on the cutting edge of professionalism in my industry and to better help my clients when they need me.
My goal is to attend around 40 hours of continuing education each year. The GRI was considered 90 hours but this year and next I want to concentrate on areas where I perceive myself to be weak, like staging houses. I do a great job helping clients get their homes ready for the market but let’s face it, I’m no Lisa LaPorta.
