Are You a Newcomer - or Just Feel Like One
We will help you get involved in the Clark County Newcomers Club if you are new to the area - or even if you're not. Sam's been in it for 20 years. It's a place to learn more about Clark County and form wonderful friendships - every activity you can imagine. Sam conducts tours for the Newcomers Club every month of the year, tours to fun places to see and events in the area. There are hiking groups, beading classes, walking on Fridays, book clubs, golf, Majong, parties, lunches, speakers, volunteer opportunities, a group just for men, and if you don't find a group you want, just start one. And NO, you don't have to be new to Clark County. It's a very generous and caring bunch!
Working With An Agent >CRS and GRI
CRS, which stands for Certified Residential Specialist, is a designation that recognizes a high level of professional accomplishments in real estate experience and education. The Residential Sales Council grants the CRS designation only to the most outstanding sales associates in the residential sales field. Besides the completion of a rigorous course of study, the candidate must be able to demonstrate 75 successful transactions or average sales of $1 million per year of experience. Only 4% of all real estate agents are awarded the CRS designation.
GRI stands for Graduate, REALTOR Institute. The REALTOR Institute offers a series of 90 hours of required and elective courses conducted by the local Board or Association of REALTORS. These courses cover all areas of real estate -- residential, investment, construction and mortgage. The GRI designation is a prerequisite of many specialized courses in the REALTOR organization.
