*C.R.S. after a Realtors name designates that Realtor holds the highly coveted designation of CERTIFIED RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST (because of their education, experience, and successful completion of an exhaustive course curriculum). This is the highest professional designation a Realtor in the residential field can achieve! The rarity of this designation is denoted by the fact that only 3% of all Realtors in the United States hold this honor! In San Diego there are only approximately 102 Realtors who have the right to put the C.R.S. initials after their names!

The initials G.R.I. after a Realtors name signifies that this Realtor has achieved the designation of GRADUATE REALTORS INSTITUTE. This honor is granted by the California Association of Realtors, and shows that the individual has passed an extensive series of graduate school courses on a variety of pertinent real estate subjects and issues.
