What A Great Designation! |
|||
 |
The
GRI designation was the highlight of my career as
a new agent in real estate sales. I considered the twelve classes
as a jumpstart to my success in this business. The topics and instructors
were very informative providing knowledge and experience to use
within my daily business. Whether it was prospecting, marketing,
or working with buyers and sellers, the classes empowered
me to work with confidence. I’m a firm believer that
knowledge is power, and the implementation of that
knowledge from the GRI classes assisted me in accomplishing the
goals I set as a new agent. I continue to take GRI classes just
to stay abreast of the creative ways of doing business. As of today,
I have earned other designations as well; ABR, ABRM, CRB, CRS, GRI,
ePRO, SRES, CCIM

| GRI Started Me on My Way! | |||
 |
I received my license in October 1971, and like most new agents
was "thrown to the wolves." I began reading
REALTOR Magazine and read stories about agents earning their GRI
designation. In mid 1972 I attended my first 30 hour course in Lafayette.
I drove my Volkswagen back and forth each day because I couldn't
afford the hotel cost - in those days GRI was 3 one-week sessions.
Being only 24 years old at the time, GRI saved my career.
At the course I was introduced to ideas form around the United States
as instructors like Ira Gribin from California (who later became
President of the National Association of Realtors), Albert J Mayer
III of Cincinati, OH and Ed Compere, a West Texas appraiser from
Abilene who sparked my interest in appraising. |
