Local Realtor Earns GRI Designation

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Bishop West Real Estate announced that Pam Tworig, Realtor in the firm's Berkshire County offices, has earned the Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) designation through the Massachusetts Association of Realtors.
 
The GRI designation represents 90 hours of advanced, in-class real estate education, covering topics such as professional standards, contracts, finance, marketing, technology, and risk reduction. Realtors who achieve the GRI designation are recognized nationwide as having attained one of the highest levels of professional training in residential real estate.
 
The Graduate, Realtor Institute program meets rigorous standards established by the National Association of Realtors and is designed to help real estate professionals better serve buyers, sellers, and investors through enhanced knowledge, improved skills, and a deeper understanding of the industry.
 
Peter West, Co-Founder and Vice President of Bishop West Real Estate, congratulated Pam on this achievement.
 
"The GRI designation is truly the foundation for Realtors who want to elevate their craft," West said. "Holding a real estate license alone does not make someone qualified—ongoing education and mastery of the fundamentals are what set great professionals apart. Pam continues to demonstrate her commitment to excellence, and we are incredibly proud of her."
 
Corey Bishop, Co-Founder and President, also praised Pam's accomplishment and emphasized the company's dedication to professional development.
 
"Bishop West Real Estate agents hold more designations and advanced credentials than those at any other brokerage in Berkshire County," Bishop noted. "Pam embodies the standard we set for our team, and her earning the GRI designation reinforces our commitment to being the most knowledgeable and skilled real estate professionals in the region."
