 e-PRO is the National Association of REALTORS official Professional Certification program. It is an extremely challenging and comprehensive course about all the different aspects of successfully running a real estate business with the help of the Net.
Beth became certified back in 2004 when the technology certification became available to agents, long before many agents even had a website. Beth felt that e-PRO gives her a powerful way to differentiate herself from other real estate agents, both the on-line agents and agents choosing not to use the internet.
Many classify the high tech agents as “agents of change”. Beth is just that – she is constantly attending conferences and learning the cutting edge of the business and technology. The Team That Cares, Inc., which Beth leads, is proud to also acknowledge that Beth teaches at many of these conferences.
 Beth feels that the internet is constantly undergoing tremendous change and growth on a daily basis. This makes the Net a great resource for new opportunities for the real estate world. The benefits for the buyers and sellers is endless. Learning to use the Internet for business purposes is an adventure that never ends. This is because it is very much about people – people just like you! When you have millions and it will become billions of people all connected together, it becomes an incredible force for change.
Because distance becomes irrelevant, the Net allows everyone to be exposed to the great cultural variety that our world is all about. Through this understanding comes respect and appreciation for the differences and diversity of all people and cultures. Instead of seeing those differences as threats, we now appreciate them for the gifts to our lives that they really are!!
Beth quotes: “I can’t imagine running my real estate business today without the high level of technology that I have learned – mastering systems that make the business run smoother and the fact that I am able to send high speed notes at 4 am or 10 pm, is an incredible tool for the daily success of my business.”
THE PRICE OF NOT BEING INTERNET SAVVY
There are so many disadvantages for those who ignore the impact of the Internet on their real estate business.
• Being cut-off from the now high tech working world of buyers/sellers
• Not being able to offer clients the latest in marketing tools and exposure
• Not being able to “brand” themselves and their services
• Not able to offer the same speed, quality and accuracy with regards
To monitoring transactions (loans, lawyers, inspections, etc.)
The Team That Cares, Inc., according to Beth:
“is a group of highly trained professionals that believes in staying on the cutting edge – they are incredible, they are tech savvy, and they really do care!!”
