Local Yucaipa Real Estate Agent Maximizing Technology for Consumers

Yucaipa, CA, January 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- As more and more consumers begin their search for real estate-related information on the Internet, it is critical that real estate professionals are well educated in the use of technology to the benefit of both the consumer and the agent.

Realizing the importance of technology training, the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) now offers its members the e-PRO certification course -- the only technology certification program offered by NAR. The program is designed to prepare real estate professionals to make the most of Internet technology and to identify, evaluate, and implement new Internet business models. The elite group of course graduates represents only one percent of all Realtors in the country including Roger Flowers of Century 21 Lois Lauer Realty.

“The real estate industry has undergone significant technological changes over the past several years,” Roger Flowers said. “More than 70% of all buyers and sellers begin their search online. As an e-PRO certified agent, I have knowledge and tools needed to provide my clients with the information they need and the customer service they demand. It’s both hi-tech and hi-touch. For example, a potential home buyer can visit my website at www.yucaipa-real-estate.com and view not only my available listings, but view frequently updated home listings from all real estate brokers in the area. Additionally, a homeowner can request a professionally prepared market analysis of their home and neighborhood.”

E-PRO certified real estate professionals join the ranks of a special community of highly skilled and continuously trained professionals who provide high quality and innovative online-based real estate services. Consumers can identify the e-PRO through the exclusive e-PRO Internet Professional logo.
