Carole Samules
of RE/MAX Valley Real Estate Earns e-Pro Designation

Boardman, OH –  As more and more consumers turn to the Internet to buy or sell homes, a new course, e-PRO, trains real estate professionals to use the latest Web tools.  Carole Samuels, a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Valley Real Estate, recently earned the e-PRO certification, and now uses the Internet to work with clients.  This nationally recognized e-PRO Certification is held by less than 1% of real estate professionals nationwide. 

e-PRO is the official technology certification program of the National Association of REALTORS®. Conducted by San Diego-based technology company InternetCrusade®, the course instructs participants in the professional use of e-mail, the development of an interactive Web site, and the use of on-line research tools.  Graduates use the skills they’ve acquired to provide clients information on properties for sale, local communities, and the real estate market. 

Samuels finds that the technological expertise she’s gained through e-PRO saves her clients time and money. “I can make life easier for buyers and sellers utilizing the latest Internet utilities including on-line home tours; instant access to comprehensive neighborhood data; extensive property listings; immediate e-mail notification of just-listed homes meeting specific criteria; referral networks and on-line forums, where e-PROs can quickly find information—even potential buyers—from other e-PROs, as well as advanced software, PDAs and laptops to find you answers on the spot,” says Samuels,

 “The result:  you will 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.”
