The Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) is an education program and designation managed by the North Carolina Association of REALTORS®. GRI is recognized by the National Association of REALTORS® and is one of the most popular designations for REALTOR® members nationwide. The program focuses on developing and increasing participants’ professionalism and skill set in order to strengthen both the value to consumers and the member’s bottom line.
This curriculum will increase your knowledge in areas that you won’t learn about in pre or post-licensing courses. Achieving your GRI Designation will demonstrate to your clients that you take your professional development seriously and will provide you the enhanced skills for ultimate success in a real estate career.

As a REALTOR®, you know that many workers in critical service and healthcare occupations still do not earn enough to afford the median-priced home in the community they serve. When vital workers live in the communities they serve, the community benefits from a higher quality of life.
If you’re looking to make a lasting difference in your community, NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation certifies REALTORS® as Workforce Housing Specialists so that these real estate professionals can better understand the important issues and economic barriers facing those entering the housing market.

Common scenarios like providing a buyer with school information or taking a pocket listing can open up real estate professionals to potential discrimination issues. NC REALTORS® realized it was time to expand our fair housing education and create tools and resources to help our Brokers-in-Charge (BICs) navigate issues related to fair housing and prevent serious violations.
Working with the National Association of REALTORS® and other fair housing experts, NC REALTORS® created the Fair Housing Academy to help BICs facilitate fair housing training for agents during monthly meetings, agent onboarding or in any way that you feel is best. The program consists of eight training videos—one specific to property management. In addition, we provide resources to help BICs lead discussions and encourage conversations. This includes a workbook with discussion points to review before each video, and homework for agents to work on individually or together in a group setting.
*While this program is open to all members, we recommend completing the Fair Housing Academy through facilitation by your BIC. Please reach out to Mandy Lowe at mlowe@ncrealtors.org if you have any questions.
