The GRI designation

GRI stands for Graduate REALTOR® Institute. GRI is one of the most widely recognized designations available to real estate professionals nationwide. The REALTOR® Institute program has helped the best and brightest achieve a well-developed understanding of the real estate industry. The GRI designation is granted through State Associations whose courses of study meet the standards set by the National Association of REALTORS® and is available to NAR members only. Therefore, you must maintain your REALTOR® status in order to keep your GRI designation. Unlike other designations, there are no annual fees.

The program consists of one four-day module and six two-day modules. You must complete all modules and receive at least a 75 percent passing grade in order to obtain your GRI designation. Modules may be taken in any order and must be completed within five years from the student’s start date.

Reasons to consider earning the GRI designation:

• You will be more knowledgeable.
• Recent NAR studies show that REALTOR® members that have the GRI designation earn an extra $18,000 per year
• Increasing your education helps reduce risk and liability.
• Professional designations enhance your image.
