"The real estate industry has undergone a fundamental change over the past several years," said Tina. " I have been using the Internet as a main portion of my marketing for over a decade now. When I became aware of the e-PRO designation I knew that I had to certify myself to let potential clients know that I am educated and dedicated to providing them with the best service available to assisiting them with their online real estate needs!"

The exclusive REALTOR e-PRO certification course is presented entirely online and certifies real estate agents and brokers as Internet professionals. Because of its innovative design, students are able to complete the course at their own pace, when and where they want, via any Internet connection.
