Why Use a REALTOR with a GRI?
Buying a home is often the single biggest investment a person will make; a complex and often stressful task that requires the assistance of a real estate practitioner with the abilities to effectively guide clients through the complicated process.
Those who earn the nationally recognized GRI designation have attended at least 90 hours of classroom instruction, providing an in-depth understanding of all aspects of residential real estate.
GRI designates are prepared to perform at the highest level of professionalism, with a keen understanding of the transaction and what it takes to help you achieve your goals. They understand the home buying and selling process, and have the experience necessary
GRIs are:
- Nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate industry.
- Professionally trained.
- Knowledgeable.
- Dedicated to bringing you quality service.
A GRI can make a difference When you see the letters “GRI” after a REALTORS name, you can count on getting the best service available from a real estate professional. GRI designates are trained to understand new technologies, laws and procedures that will keep them at the forefront of the real estate industry. Only members of the REALTOR association who are committed to adhering to a strict Code of Ethics can use the term REALTOR and only REALTORS can earn the GRI designation
The Choice is yours! Make it count.

SHORT SALES, FAIR OR FOWL?
Posted by Ellen Jaffe | Leave A Comment »
One fine San Diego Day, Chicken Little was strolling along enjoying the weather. The sky was a crisp, clear blue and the sun was a huge bright globe. He didn’t much care for rain, which was why he liked San Diego. He wasn’t into getting his feathers wet. So this was a perfect place for him.
Suddenly, a large shadow was over him and as he looked up, his chicken smile quickly faded. He ran for his life as he was almost hit by a falling Condo and then another and another and then some houses crashed to the ground. Now chicken Little really wasn’t chicken, but he thought, “what a way to start the day”. I’m going to call my Realtor, Ellen!
She told him that what he just experienced was a lot of Short Sales and REOs 
falling to the ground. He was told to continue looking up and he would see Bankers with their arms folded laughing and watching the crashing homes. Ellen said, “it’s really a wonder that I have any hair left at all; just a few little blond wisps”. Chicken Little said, “wow, I’m really glad I don’t own the coop. Rocky rooster is my landlord. He crows all day and all night. He hasn’t gotten the message. Let him deal with all of it.”
“In Oh Five, the coop went condo. We all got so eggcited, all we could do was cluck. Day and night, night and day, cluck, cluck, cluck. By Oh Six, some of us got chicken, but others decided to buy in. Boy did they lay an egg. There are feathers flying because they have to do a Short Sale. Now Ellen, they all want your help! ”
So Ellen plunged right in to see what she could do. After months of calling and submitting and faxing and begging and pleading she was now at square one. So much for progress. Chicken Little said, “Wow, you Realtors are really something. All the hens are saying we thought sitting on our eggs until they hatch was really difficult and time consuming, but the result was worth the effort.” Sometimes Short Sales don’t close, so the results may not be as positive. ” I give you an awful lot of credit, he said”.
As in the example of Michael Jordan (Chicken Little said he couldn’t reach those heights), propelled by extraordinary talent to the stratosphere of basketball achievement; persistence and perseverance will result in exceptional service and accomplishment.
……..More from inside the coop to come!!
