Virtual Classroom: GRI 200 Designation Course

Registration for this program is closed.

Take the GRI 200 and you are one step away from earning the GRI designation.
The GRI designation is a powerful tool to attract and build new business. You'll increase your skill level across the entire landscape of real estate with in-depth training in legal and regulatory issues, technology, professional standards, and the sales process. REALTORS with at least one designation earned a median of $61,000 while those without a designation earned a median income of $33,500, a difference of $27,600. (Source: NAR Member Profile)

In today's competitive business environment, it often takes more than just motivation and initiative to succeed. Earning the Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation is a way to stand out to prospective home buyers and sellers as a REALTOR® who has gained in-depth knowledge on technical subjects as well as the fundamentals of real estate.  The GRI offers the opportunity to gain knowledge that will earn your client’s business.

Featuring top real estate presenters, the focus of the GRI 200 is negotiating, risk reduction, technology, and social media. Intended to benefit agents with at least 3-5 years of industry experience, this program will broaden your knowledge and position you to succeed.
