Local REALTOR attends Oklahoma REALTOR Institute

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma REALTOR Stacy Lyons recently attended the REALTOR Institute module held in Oklahoma City.

The REALTOR Institute is a national professional designation program consisting of more than 90 hours of classroom instruction, covering a variety of subjects including: contract law, professional standards, marketing,negotiation skills, finance, technology and risk management.  In addition, students learn the fundamentals of brokerage management, investments and other areas of real estate specialization.

Successful completion of all six modules leads to the "Graduate REALTOR Institute"(GRI) designation for members of the Oklahoma Association of REALTORS.  The program is designed to educate practitioners and about local, state and national real estate practices that affect them, their clients and customers.  The Oklahoma Realtor Institute faculty is comprised of leading real estate professionals from across Oklahoma and the nation bringing the highest quality and most up-to-date information.

The GRI designation sets apart the individuals who attained it from other practitioners because it indicates to the public that the individual has obtained a specialized educational foundation on which to base the services they provide. Currently, only about eight percent of Oklahoma REALTORS have reached this professional distinction.
