People often ask what the initials are next to the names of our agents. The initials represent professional designations that have been obtained by doing additional education beyond the minimum required by license law. In Massachusetts, real estate agents are required to take 12 hours of specifically targeted continuing education every two years in order to re-new their real estate license. Mary has recently obtained her GRI designation (Graduate Realtor Institute), by doing an additional 96 hours of education through the National Association of Realtors. Mary is one of only 6 real estate agents on Nantucket to hold the designation, half of which work at Atlantic East. Congratulations to Mary!
