Choose a REALTOR® that is
 e-PRO® Certified

An e-PRO is a REALTOR® who has successfully completed the e-PRO training program for real estate professionals. Endorsed by the National Association of

REALTORS®, the e-PRO course teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of working with real estate on-line: Web sites, e-mail, on-line tools, and most of all, what today's consumer really wants.  What does all this mean to you?  There are several benefits of working with a certified Internet professional.

• More privacy
  • Are you reluctant to give out contact information through the Web for fear of being pestered or spammed? e-PROs understand. They've learned the Web isn't just a place to do business; you need information from someone you can trust. That's why e-PROs respect your privacy. They respond quickly to your questions, but don't send you unwanted communication. And they protect your personal information.
    
• Less hassle
  • Tired of struggling to find information? e-PROs are more likely to have access to the latest Internet utilities, making your life easier. These tools may include:
    • On-line home tours
    • Instant access to comprehensive neighborhood data
    • Extensive property listings
    • Immediate e-mail notification of just-listed homes meeting your criteria
    • Referral networks and on-line forums, where e-PROs can quickly find information--even potential buyers--from other e-PROs
    • Newsletters on current real estate conditions in your area
    • Electronic faxes sent to you by e-mail
    • Advanced software, PDAs, and laptops to find you answers on the spot
  • The result: you get more information, more easily. With electronic files, you have less paperwork to deal with. And since your agent uses e-mail, you can even eliminate phone tag. The e-PRO streamlines your entire transaction, from showing to closing.
    
• Less expense
  • An e-PRO's access to advanced technology can save you considerable expense. You have more tools to find or market your home, so you're likely to get a better price. With on-line home tours, you reduce in-person showings--and the costs involved. And by using e-mail, you save money on long-distance calls and fax charges.
    
• Relocating?
  • An e-PRO is ideal for you. With the tools to do your research electronically, you can make a decision on a home the first day you're in town--or without traveling at all. You and your family save on travel costs. And after you've decided to buy, monitoring the sale by e-mail saves you even more.

Should you use an e-PRO?  Yes--especially if you're an Internet user. In this

fast-paced age, technology has become a necessity. An e-PRO is someone who has recognized and responded to the needs of the new consumer. If you choose an e-PRO, it's a safe bet you'll get the kind of service you want--and need.
