A Powerful Track Record
Buying or selling a home is serious business. Financing, listing, showing, negotiating, laws - what an eye opener! But one of the most important decisions you'll make is which REALTOR® will help you through the hassles. All REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS®, and they adhere to strict code of ethics. They're the most professional, informed real estate professionals available.
However, many REALTORS® go even further to serve you: they are GRI's. GRI is the symbol of the Graduate REALTOR® Institute professional designation series. The symbol is recognized nationwide and shows clients that the holder has a solid grasp of real estate fundamentals. The program is the foundation for the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and Georgia Association of REALTORS® real estate advancement program. Graduates of the GRI program have participated in 90 additional hours of training with tests at each 30 hours. Georgia GRI REALTORS® pride themselves on staying one step ahead in terms of education, information and technology. And it's been proven that GRI's are where the real estate action is.
