 What is an e-PRO - and why should you
work with 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 (Cape Cod - Realtor, Karen
Stefani).
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.

saves you even more.

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
