NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
APPLAUDS GRI CLASS OF 2008
(Atlantic City, NJ) - The New Jersey
Association of REALTORS® (NJAR®) presented
68 REALTORS® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATES® with
the Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI)
designation, at a ceremony during the Triple
Play REALTOR® Convention and Trade Expo in
Atlantic City last night.
"This year, in an effort to better serve
their clients, 68 REALTORS® took it upon
themselves to earn this designation," said
2008 NJAR® President Drew Fishman, CRS.
"REALTORS® with the GRI designation are
considered leaders in the real estate
profession because the designation course
work is demanding and provides instruction
on a wide variety of topics to help them
better navigate the complexities of the real
estate industry."
GRI is a nationally recognized designation
attained by members of the NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® after successfully
completing a rigorous 90-hour program of
course work covering various areas of real
estate including: ethics, technology,
business development, financing, fair
housing and legal issues. Additionally,
members may choose to complete the GRI
Broker Course. The course is comprised of
the supplemental courses that, along with
the GRI designation, satisfy the education
requirements for the New Jersey broker
