Press Release Body: (3-12-2008) -- Jim Basquette of Huff Realty has successfully
completed the REALTOR e-PRO course to become one of a select few real estate
professionals to earn the prestigious certification offered through the National
Association of REALTORS.®

The REALTOR e-PRO certification course is an educational program unlike any
other professional certification or designation course available, comprehensive and
interactive. It is specifically designed to provide real estate professionals with
the technology tools needed to assist consumers in the purchase or sale of a home.

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

"The real estate industry has undergone a fundamental change over the past several
years," said Jim Basquette of Huff Realty. "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.
Because of its innovative design, students are able to complete the course at their
own pace, when and where they want, via any Internet connection. The course is
designed to help REALTORS stay at the leading edge of technology and
identify, evaluate and implement new Internet business models.

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.

Both the content and the delivery platform were created by San Diego-based
technology company InternetCrusade®. The course instructs participants in the
professional use of e-mail, the development of an interactive Web site, and the use
of online research tools. Graduates use the skills they\'ve acquired to provide
clients information on properties for sale, local communities, and the local real
estate market.
