This professional designation stands for "Graduate, REALTOR Institute." The Institute provides an educational curriculum for REALTORS who desire additional education in real estate beyond that which is required for licensing. The Education Committee of the National Association of REALTORS developed and oversees the GRI program. REALTORS with this designation have had advanced training in areas including, but not limited to, real estate finance, ethics, agency, and sales. Only about 9% of agents nationwide have earned the GRI professional designation.

This designation is a program for Realtors® interested in gaining expertise in the areas of brokerage management, human behavior skills, as well as, recruitment and training. It can only be earned after at least 75 transactions have been made within 5 consecutive years, and after the completion of 18 credits. In addition, one must have a bachelor's, masters, or Ph.D. in real estate, or be designated with CCIM, CIPS, CRB, or GRI
