by Dr. Ken Edwards
Question: As a comparative newcomer to the Realtor ranks, I've got a couple of questions about GRI. First, is it really worth the effort and the expense? I would have to travel to another city to participate. Second, if I do decide to attend, when is the best time in my career to do it? My broker is really enthusiastic about it, but I'm getting some mixed signals from the some of the old timers in the office.
