As many agents can attest, your ability to close short sales and foreclosures depends in
part on your confidence in seeing these transactions through.
For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures represent the
new “traditional” real estate transaction. Knowing how to maneuver the complexities of
short sales as well as how to identify the distinct real estate opportunities in
foreclosure are not merely good skills to have in today’s market—they are critical.
This course helps students evaluate all available options for distressed homeowners
and identify the components of an effective short-sale package. This course looks at
how real estate professionals can counsel buyer-clients in the purchase of foreclosure properties.
And as a practical resource, this course shows students how consumers can avoid foreclosure in the future.
The Short Sales and Foreclosure course counts towards earning NAR's Short Sales and
Foreclosure Resource certification as well as one REBAC elective course to be
applied towards the ABR® designation.
