What is an
e-PRO覧 and why should you use one?
A short guide
for the Internet consumer
When you're on the
Internet, you don't have time to waste on
endless searches for useful real estate
information. You want to get things done
quickly and without hassle. So chances are
you'd like a real estate agent who
- Answers e-mail
promptly and professionally.
- Respects your
on-line privacy.
- Offers home
listings and other Internet tools to
help you find or market a home.
Enter the e-PRO.
An e-PRO is a REALTORｮ
who has successfully completed the e-PRO
training program for real estate
professionals. Endorsed by the National
Association of REALTORSｮ, 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覧even potential
buyers覧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覧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覧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覧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覧and need.
