GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute)

This is one of the first designations I would suggest you pursue. For new FAR members, GRI 1 can satisfy the requirements for your 45 hours post licensing requirements. There are a total of 3 courses required to obtain your GRI designation. To register for these GRI classes, call Florida Association of Realtors at 800-669-2127.

You are not required to take GRI classes in order & you have 5 years to complete all 3 courses. For more information about GRI, go to www.FloridaRealtor.com.
