Fairfield Connecticut: Local Real Estate Agent Earns REALTOR® e-Pro® Designation

Fairfield, CT (PRWEB) August 24, 2007 -- Mary MacKenzie, REALTOR® ABR® of Prudential Connecticut Realty in Fairfield CT has successfully completed the REALTOR® e-PRO® course to become one of an elite group of real estate professionals, representing only one percent of all REALTORS in the country, to earn the prestigious certification offered through the National Association of REALTORS.®

With more than 70% of consumers beginning their real estate research for homes for sale on the Internet, e-PRO certified agents have the experience and expertise to meet the demands of today's home buyer and seller.

"The real estate industry has undergone a fundamental change over the past several years," said MacKenzie. "A majority of consumers are taking the time to conduct their own research prior to contacting an agent. In turn, real estate professionals must be knowledgeable of how technology can assist them in serving the needs of the buying and selling public."

The exclusive REALTOR® e-PRO® certification course is presented entirely online and certifies real estate agents and brokers as Internet professionals. The course is designed to help REALTORS® stay at the leading edge of technology and identify, evaluate and implement new Internet business models. "Even prior to receiving my e-PRO® designation, my business model focused heavily on the online consumer researching homes for sale in Fairfield County CT," said MacKenzie. "I have developed a well branded and highly visible website http://www.HomesInFairfieldCountyCT.com that attracts buyers from across the country. When I learned of the e-PRO course, I knew I absolutely needed to further my technology knowledge and skills in order to respond to the needs of the savvy internet consumer looking to move to Fairfield County CT."

Once completed, the e-PRO® certified real estate professional joins the ranks of a special community of highly skilled and continuously trained professionals who provide high quality and innovative online-based real estate services. Consumers can identify the e-PRO through the exclusive e-PRO® Internet Professional logo. "With the knowledge that I've gained through the e-PRO® Certification course, I will be able to better serve my clients," said MacKenzie. "Whether consumers are local in Fairfield County CT or from somewhere across the country, my clients can be confident that their REALTOR® has the technology tools and skills necessary in today's internet based real estate market, which will enable me to provide them with an even higher level of service when buying or selling their home."
