Default e-Pro designation

I already consider myself an e-Pro as far as being pretty net-savvy as it pertains to real estate, but I feel like I should actually get the designation. It's $359. I could swear in the past I'd seen it cheaper online, not via the Realtor.org site - does anyone know? I assume its an online course, not something you go take in person... And how long is the course, anyone taken it? Is it very advanced or will I be bored to tears if I am already pretty technologically savvy?

It probably has some continueing education points that might be recognized by your state. I also think that it has an annual renewal, maybe not though.

But, how about Morgan develop an REW-Pro certification?

Thanks Dallas


I thought some of them looked interesting. Figured they had to be worth the time to take. I will look into the 'Art of Negotiating

E-pro is ridicuosly easy if you have any prior tech knowledge, I finished it in about 2 hours online. I would spend the money on ABR or CRS if you don't already have them

no problem Kevin, forgot to add one more, I would recommend taking Principles of Commercial with Sales and Exchanges, gives you good insight into commercial sector and the big real estate picture, great info even if you are not considering commercial sales.

Liane - I took that course and received the designation about 5 years ago. It was like $250.00 when I took it and yes it was an on-line course. I think it took me a couple of days and I was done. You'll learn a few things but for the most part It bored the heck out of me. It was pretty easy and I have to chuckle when people say that they have that designation. If you want more of a challenge go for your CRS or maybe even the full series of GRI courses....

I agree with Rob, I would spend my money on a GRI, ABR or CRS designations.
