I'm going to be an e-Pro ~ finally!

I signed up to be an e-Pro!

Georgina M. Hunter Realtor e-Pro graduate May 2008

This week we had a free workshop with Joeann Fossland, a certified coach and e-Pro, at our Realtors Association of Maui.  After she spoke, everyone was quite excited to sign up for the course.  I did too, even though everyone tells me..."but you already know all that stuff don't you?".  Well do I?  How will I know until I find out?

I look at it this way.... if I DO already know all that stuff, then shouldn't I have the e-Pro designation to let consumers know that I know?  If I DON'T know it already, they I should take the course and learn it, and still let consumers know that I know.  Either way it just makes sense to pay the money, take the course, and get the e-Pro designation.  If I can learn just 10% more, it would be worth it, wouldn't it?  I'm willing to bet there will be some good tips I can learn from this online course for Realtors.  I want to have the skills to best serve my Maui clients, now and in the future.

UPDATE - MAY 5,2008 I got my certificate!  Thanks NAR and e-Pro.

Aloha from Maui - Georgina M. Hunter R(S) - future e-Pro

Georgina,

Many times we let our egos rob us of our true potential, so kudos to you for trying anyway...if you know it then you'll know it a little better, and if you don't know it now you'll know! 

 

Aloha

Congratulations!  I took the ePro course early on and it's been very helpful.

it's worth having, and the CRS tech course too. we didn't learn much with ePro though, and I had a pretty heavy tech bg then, and back then ePro was a lot about email and autoresponders...etc. Nothing then about blogs, but their "real talk" probably was a ground floor idea for AR.

good luck and enjoy

Georgina, Aloha. Go for it with the ePro. I'm behind you all the way.

CONGRATULATIONS Georgina....I took the e-PRO course years ago and although I considered myself pretty 'tech savvy' at the time there was still tons to learn!

01/24/2008 09:47 PM by Mary Warren, Las Vegas Real Estate (Keller Williams Southern Nevada)


The ePro course is one of the best I Have taken.  The other good courses I took were offered by CRS.  Everyone has been great and I learned a lot.  You'll be glad you decided to take the course.

Georgina- I didn't realize Joanne was already there......well nice to hear that her conference went well, and that you will be taking the course......I also like how you said it, if you know everything then get the designation, and if you don't know it you will learn.....:) :)

Glad to have you in our Group of e-PRO........

You are already qualified by what I see in your posts! You will have no problems breezing through the class.

I took the course a few years ago, figured the same thing- I wanted the designation. I learned a few things, but it was mostly things I already knew. And NO ONE has ever mentioned the designation to me.

01/25/2008 11:05 AM by Leslie Prest, Owner, Assoc. Broker, Prest Realty


Ray - You know it!

Gregory - I'm looking forward to it.

 

01/25/2008 02:22 PM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Gary and Gary - thanks!

Mary - I think so too.

Sharon - good to hear that.

Tom - I'm confident that I'll get the designation, thanks,

Kathy - glad to be here... you'll see more of me

Charles - thanks for the encouragement

Leslie - well I'll be sure to mention it to them!

Thanks everyone!

Georgina...Congratulations from a fellow e-Pro-to-be.

I signed up in December and haven't started the course yet.  Unfortunately they told me I only had until August 2008 to finish.  They should never tell a procrastinator a thing like that.  Come July I probably will have to take leave of AR and work on the course.

Wishing you much better success!!!

Cheers,

Kathleen

Hi Kathleen - don't put it off any longer - do you wanna race?  lol

I talked to someone yesterday who told me he took it 3 times and still hasn't passed!  He's going to be left in the dust.

01/25/2008 09:49 PM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Georgina-I just read the above comment on not passing and find that extremely hard to believe, but dang if that's so, the course would be for that person.  Wow....you guys shouldn't have any trouble....it just takes commitment, and being careful not to get lost in all the links that you go to :)

01/26/2008 10:59 AM by Kathy McGraw ~ Calif Broker (CELLing Realty)


Hi Kathy - yes it's sad and funny - he's a great guy and does alright, just not very tech savvy.... old school I guess.

01/26/2008 05:17 PM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Georgina...Just read your comment.  Today (yesterday??? it's midnight) I read a few pages.  That's the first time I did that.  I had gone for some blood work and took some pages I had printed out with me thank goodness.

Now, about that challenge...have you gotten very far?  And why did I have to read what you wrote about someone taking the test three times and failing each time?

IF I get serious about the course I'll probably have to stop playing in the Rain.  Oh, what to do, what to do.

Less cheerful,

Kathleen

Kathleen - not yet started, just wrapping up a couple of high maint projects... maybe this weekend will be a good time to tuck into it

02/01/2008 04:04 AM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Georgina...I think it would be fun to start together.  I've got appointments both tomorrow and Sunday anyway.

I did read Module 1: Section 1:  (now don't ask me what is was about!) so I'll just hold off until you finish that.  How does that sound?  When you're ready to start on Mod.1 Sec.2 let me know and I'll try to buckle down.

Kathleen

02/01/2008 08:13 PM by Kathleen "Kate" Elim, LAKE ANNA, VA Real Estate (RE/MAX Lake & Country)


Kathleen - You're on - we can spur each other on, which is what I need at this point.  I will try and get thru Mod 1/Sec 1 and we can compare notes!

02/01/2008 08:30 PM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Georgina, You may know it all right now, but it is a great designation to have.

02/02/2008 08:53 AM by Bill Somerset, Realtor, Your Dover NH Real estate agent (Century21 Central Falls Realty)


Bill - That's just it.... I don't know it all yet, but will strive to.  It will be a good one to have.

02/02/2008 02:38 PM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Conrats! I got my e-pro and REW also. Both were awesome and I learned so much, even though I knew most of it. I think REW taught me a little more, but tis good to have e-pro behind my name!

02/02/2008 03:06 PM by Baton Rouge & Denham Springs Relocation Lindsay Pendleton, e-PRO, REW, AHWD (Prime Properties)


Lindsay - Thanks for coming by and commenting - what's REW?

02/02/2008 03:31 PM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Georgina...Notes!  What Notes??? I'd better rethink this.  I'm stressed already.

I need to make a confession.  I have a color laser printer and I printed the whole thing out...double-sided. (Yes. I am concerned about the environment but I read it so much better on paper than on the computer.)  I'm hi-lighting.  Hope that will work.

Cheers,

Kathleen

Just wanted to say THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY  - I made it through and graduated with flying colors!  woohoo  : D

05/07/2008 01:51 AM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Georgina...You are to be congratulated.  I am so happy for you.#1

I'm still finishing up Module 1.  When I first signed up and sending e-mails saying I only had until August I was thinking what's all this about.  Now here it is May.

Enjoy your new designation and use it proudly.  It takes more time than I thought it would although I'm not really doing my part in making time.

Cheers,

Kathleen

P.S.  I think I need a course in time management.

05/07/2008 11:06 AM by Kathleen "Kate" Elim, LAKE ANNA, VA Real Estate (RE/MAX Lake & Country)


Congrats Georgina!! Maui must be nice!! Hope to go someday!

Kathleen - you can do it.. just do a half an hour every other night, and soon it will be over!  Make yourself do some, then as a reward you get to play on AR.  See if that works.

Stephen - Hi, thanks for the message - yes Maui is super nice.

05/09/2008 02:21 AM by Georgina Hunter Maui Realtor R(S) (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui)


Hi Georgina...Thanks for your suggestion.  It sounds like a plan.  I have managed to complete Module 1 so that's a beginning.
