Benefits of hiring an FRI
A lot is at stake when you choose your real estate professional. How can you be sure that you are getting the very best there is?
If you have retained the services of a Fellow of the Real Estate Institute, you can be confident that you have selected a reputable professional who has achieved the highest standards of experience, education and ethics in the Canadian real estate industry today.
FRI: THE BEST THERE IS
The FRI designation is Canada's pre-eminent real estate designation.
The FRI is a mark of excellence earned by a very few; the top real estate professionals who demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the highest standards of education, experience and ethical conduct in the real estate industry.
Awarded by the Real Estate Institute of Canada, the FRI designation assures you that you are dealing with a seasoned real estate professional who is committed to providing you with the very best service.
Those professionals who earn the FRI(E) meet the same stringent standards of education, experience and ethical conduct as the FRI. The only difference is that the FRI(E) member is not required to be licensed, so the career focus is geared more to management and development.
The FRI(A) is awarded to real estate professionals whose specialty is residential appraisals. Members must have achieved the FRI designation before moving on to acquire the appraisal accreditation.
Whether you are dealing with sales agents, brokers, sales managers or real estate executives, rigorous specialized training gives FRI professionals the edge in serving your real estate needs with competence, commitment and integrity.
When you choose a real estate professional with a FRI, you are choosing an industry leader who:
- has at least five years of dedicated real estate experience
- knows real estate inside and out
- abides by a stringent code of professional conduct
- is committed to continuing professional education
With a FRI, you've made the right choice!
