Hello, My Wonderful Colleagues,
I am excited and thankful to announce my entrance into the Distinguished Real Estate Educators as a new DREI Diamond member presented by National REEA as one of the first in Alabama and fourth in Georgia. Since my previous award as their Educator of the Year for 2024, I have been flying high to reach this pinnacle. On yesterday, November 11, 2025 I rec’d that call. Thanks to everyone for helping me to attain this level in our professional career. As a longtime educator serving both public secondary and real estate adult education, I now hold the DREI, GSI, GSL, GRI, SRES,SRS,ABR, and MRP. Also,proudly carrying the CNE designation from RENI as well. So GRATEFUL!

Welcome to GREEA
It is with great honor and excitement that I serve as GREEA's President this year. This role is more than a title; it embodies a profound duty to guide, motivate, and elevate our members' role in Georgia's real estate industry.
2025 promises to have no shortage of challenges for agents, brokers, and educators. That said, I am equally confident that we will make significant strides and positive changes, benefiting both our association and the students in our classrooms.
While we will be working on several major projects, my primary focus will be on amplifying member involvement on both the board and committee levels. To do this, your experience and talents are urgently needed as we work toward fulfilling GREEA's mission. It's as easy as clicking here to volunteer for a GREEA committee.
Our work on improving our internal structure and systems is important, but we must also keep our focus on our students. We are more than educators; we are true influencers in the world of real estate. GREEA's members are unparalleled instructors, and we are committed to ensuring that every broker and agent has the opportunity to learn from the best. To enroll in a class, simply click here.
I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to the GREEA Board for their support and dedication to getting the work done! GREEA is a group effort and we're fortunate to have this dedicated group of volunteers working to positively impact the careers and lives of our members and our students.
All my best,

Rusty Willis
