In Frisco’s high-value real estate market, a small mistake can cost tens of thousands of dollars. From missed inspection issues to misunderstood builder contracts, the risks are real—especially for luxury buyers. That’s why top clients work with agents who carry the GRI and CRS designations.

In 2025, certifications aren’t fluff—they’re filters to identify agents who’ve gone above and beyond to protect your financial interests.


What Is the GRI Designation?


The Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) is awarded to agents who complete intensive coursework in:

  • Legal contracts

  • Local market data interpretation

  • Financing and appraisal

  • Risk management

  • Real estate ethics and compliance


What Is the CRS Designation?

The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is earned by top-performing agents and brokers with:

  • Verified sales performance in residential transactions

  • Advanced education in negotiation, buyer protection, and pricing

  • Fewer than 3% of REALTORS® nationwide hold this designation


How These Designations Protect Frisco Luxury Buyers
