Technology

While real estate continues to be a business built on personal relationships, strategic use of the web is becoming increasingly neccessary for success.

For example, new figures for the National Association of Realtors show that over 90% of buyers use the internet as a research source before selecting an agent or a property. The internet is now much more than another medium for displaying listings: it is a key element in the homebuying and selling process and working with the right technology tools is absolutely essential.

Agents are provided with:

• Your own site, that can be fully personalized, with a completely branded MLS Search. 
• Your own Prudential Northwest Realty Associates e-mail account.
• Access to high speed, broadband internet work stations within your office.
• Regular additions and updates to powerful tools, news, and exclusive features.
• Ongoing training to incorporate available technologies to support your business plan.

At Prudential Northwest Realty Associates, you can earn the e-certified® designation from Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services. To be e-certified® agents take an on-line tutorial course followed by an exam.

Being e-certified® signifies that an agent knows how to use e-mail, the internet and other high technology tools to serve their client. Becoming e-certified® is only available to Prudential Real Estate network and is achieved at no charge.
