Leslie Woods-Hulse, Local Real Estate Professional, Awarded E-PRO Certification

Hamilton, VA - Leslie Woods-Hulse, a REALTOR® with Prudential Carruthers REALTORS®, recently earned the e-PRO certification, and now uses the Internet to work with clients. As more and more consumers turn to the Internet to buy or sell homes, a new course, e-PRO, trains real estate professionals to use the latest Web tools, currently held by less than 1% of real estate professionals nationwide.

E-PRO is the official technology certification program of the National Association of REALTORS®. Conducted by San Diego-based technology company InternetCrusade®, the e-PRO program instructs participants in the professional use of e-mail, the development of an interactive Web site, and the use of on-line research and marketing tools. Graduates emerge specially equipped to meet the fast-growing consumer demand for Web-based real estate services.

Woods-Hulse finds that the technological expertise she's gained through e-PRO saves her clients time and money. "The opportunity to access clients thru the World Wide Web and give them access to your web site and assistance with the whole search is far easier thru the world wide web," says Woods-Hulse. "The reports that can be generated thru the web are far more superior and the benefit to the buyer is better and less time consuming thru an E-Pro’s services."
