The National Association of Realtors currently only offers one designation for Realtor members in regards to Distressed Properties.

Don Wixom of RE/MAX Advantage in Nampa, Idaho has recently completed the required education in this rising specialty of the real estate industry.

Wixom holds several designations from the NAR as well as other organizations. Short sales and foreclosures are a bigger part of Idaho Real Estate inventory than ever before.  Don Wixom is now a certified Resource for Short Sale sellers and buyers as well as Foreclosure properties. 

The "SFR" Designation requires several hours of specific instruction on how to process a short sale transaction, negotiate with a third-party lender on behalf of a seller and to provide services to both buyers and sellers of Idaho distressed properties.

Don has been processing short sales since 1997 and has the experience in addition to the education to navigate through the stressful process.  He recently published his Exclusive Short Sale Report which can be downloaded from his website at www.sellidaho.com.

Buyers are also able to search for Distressed Properties on the site as well as for Idaho Short Sales.

Don Wixom, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Advantage in Nampa, ID was named as one of Nampa's Top Producers at the most recent general membership meeting of the Nampa Association of Realtors.

The local Realtor Association awards the top producing real estate agents each year at their annual awards luncheon. Wixom was recognized along with about 50 other Nampa agents as ones who sell the most real estate in the area.

The criteria for the award has changed slightly over the past few years and still may need an adjustment or two, depending on the current market, but none the less, Nampa's top agents sold at least $2,000,000 worth of Idaho Real estate each.

This is the 14th consecutive year that Don Wixom has received the Top Producer's Award from the Association. Wixom has sold an average of 70 homes each year over the past several years. This year, however, with the economic downturn along with softening real estate prices, Wixom will close just under 50 homes in 2009; still way above the average agent who sells 6-10 homes per year.

RE/MAX agents across the country average higher sales numbers than any other real estate firm or franchise. Real Trends, a third-party survey company shows RE/MAX as the #1 real estate company in a variety of categories!  No one sells more real estate than RE/MAX!
