Bryan Wright, a sales associate with Long & Foster Real Estate’s Lynchburg office, has earned the Graduate, Realtor Institute designation.

Awarded by the National Association of Realtors, the Graduate, Realtor Institute designation recognizes that Wright successfully completed a course of study that provided a solid base of information designed to further their expertise within the real estate industry.

“Having earned the GRI designation will help me separate myself from the competition,” Wright said. “The in-depth training on the whole real estate process ensures that I can provide my clients with the most knowledgeable, professional service possible in this ever-changing industry.”

Wright joined Long & Foster Real Estate in 2015. He is a member of the Lynchburg Association of Realtors and Virginia Association of Realtors. Wright is an avid Virginia Tech Hokie fan, and when not working real estate he likes to spend time with his wife, Tammy, his Doberman, Abby, and enjoys riding his Harley.
