GRI 201: IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU APRIL 13 & 14, 2022 With more than a million real estate licensees in the United States, effective personal promotion is not optional...it is a necessity. In GRI 201, you will learn the skills to create a personal promotion plan that is both effective and lasting.

In addition, learn to prepare a pre-listing and listing presentation, and to apply the elements of a marketing plan to sell a property. Knowing the questions to ask the tax professionals can make a huge difference. And not being aware of some of the tax laws affecting real estate transactions can create liability.
