The Graduate Realtors Institute (GRI)
designation is a national professional designation that signifies
mastery of a specific and intensive program of classroom instruction in
various aspects of residential brokerage. The designation is offered by
the Realtor Institute of the National Association of Realtors®.
Through the Realtor Institute program, real estate professionals study
marketing, ethics, contracts, finance, technology and other real estate
topics. The GRI program provides real estate professionals with the
skills needed to render greater and broader services to the public and to
prospective clients. Successful graduation from the GRI program requires
completion of hours of course work and written examinations on various
aspects of the courses taken. Requirements vary by each state Realtor
association.
The GRI program curriculum and standards are governed by the National
Association of Realtors®, the nation's largest professional trade
association, representing approximately 750,000 members involved in all
aspects of the real estate industry. More than 35,000 Realtors in North
America hold the GRI designation. Currently, nearly 3,000 Realtors®
in Tennessee have earned the GRI designation, with several thousand more
having taken one or more courses in the program series. |
