The designation is awarded to Prudential Real Estate sales associates who meet extensive criteria and who complete the eCertified program training.

“Being an eCertified agent means that I have the know-how and confidence to service my clients online or through e-mail 24/7,” said Ms Evans.

“Increasingly, consumers want to do business online. They want to communicate via e-mail,” said Steve Ozonian, chairman, Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Solutions. “We are preparing Prudential Real Estate sales associates to meet these new ways of conducting business by creating a designation that matches the growing homebuyer and seller use of Web-enabled information sources.”
