Last night I finished the coursework and when I came back to the home office this evening, an email told me that a proctor had validated my assignments and that I was now an officially certificated ePro designee!!!

 

 

Sometimes these designations don't have a lot of meaning in real estate.  It can be simply a matter of sitting through a day or so of lecture - then paying a couple hundred dollars of "payola" each year to maintain the designation. 

 

But this one is different.  First, it requires much more time to complete the coursework - with field trips to websites and endless terminology to learn.  Secondly, the vast majority of ePro designees are young and inexperienced.  My belief is that less than 10 of the 43 ePro designees in The Woodlands, Texas have a great deal of real estate experience under their belt.
