Wise earns e-PRO certification

Martin Wise, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Fulton Realty, recently earned the nationally recognized e-PRO certification, currently held by less than 1 percent of real estate professionals nationwide.

e-PRO is the official technology certification program of the National Association of Realtors. 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.

Wise finds that the technological expertise he's gained through e-PRO saves his clients time and money.

"Home buyers appreciate the speed and convenience of searching my website for every home in the area that may meet their needs and communicating with me by e-mail." said Wise. "And the virtual home tours at my Web site help them weed out homes without having to get in the car. While watching a virtual tour on their computer, they can even click a button and have me paged on my cell phone! I call them back right away and discuss the property with them - while it's still on their computer screen. It's really very cool. It benefits buyers and sellers alike. I'm glad I can provide these services to them."
