The Greater Nashville Association of REALTORS® (GNAR) chapter of the Young Professionals Network held its “Academic Advising 101” on Feb. 12 in the Hal Wilson Education Center.

This event provided an opportunity for new and young REALTORS® to get a better understanding of REALTOR® education, designations, and how to earn them.

GNAR President Lucy Smith and GNAR YPN President Hagan Stone kicked off the event by introducing a group of seasoned GNAR REALTORS® to give a brief overview of the major industry designations. They each discussed their own personal stories and experiences working with these designations and also explained how they have helped them to succeed in real estate.

Information on CRS, ABR, NAR’s Green Designation, The Pacific Institute, CCIM, e-PRO, GRI and a host of other designations was provided to those attending. Attendees were given a discount on any classes they registered for that day.  And GNAR member Debra Williams won a fee designation class offered by GNAR’s Education Department!
