Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR®) NAR Certification Online
Although historically low interest rates, pent up buyer demand, and tight inventory levels have resulted in price appreciation in many US markets, more than 5.3 million US homeowners still owe more than their homes are worth. If these homeowners need to sell, they may need to sell short, which underscores the ongoing demand for real estate professionals who know how to successfully navigate the short-sale transactions for seller and buyer clients. The Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR) certification gives you a framework for understanding how to direct distressed sellers with confidence and compassion.
