I recently wrote a post titled: 

LOAN MODIFICATION COMPANIES - New Business Model or Risky Scam? Chapter 1

Today I ran across this article on the

YOUR INTERACTIVE MAGAZINE

REALTOR.ORG/rea

and wanted to pass it along to the Active Rain community albeit many if not most of you already read this as well. But it looks like NAR is coming a little closer to bringing a resolve to our Loan Modification crisis. This is a good start and will definitely give the recipients of the course a lot more information and knowledge in the whole Loss Mitigation arena. Hope you find this helpfull.

NAR Launches Short Sales Certification Program


Nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures, according to National Association of REALTORS® data. To help practitioners meet the needs of home buyers and sellers who need these services, NAR has launched a new Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification Program (SFR).

“Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers, but it’s extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional for these kinds of purchases,” says NAR President Charles McMillan. “This new certification will help them serve a growing need.”

The SFR certification program is offered by the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council of NAR. The program includes training on how to manage short sale, foreclosure, and real-estate owned transactions, and provides resources to help practitioners stay current on national and state-specific information as the market for these distressed properties evolves.

To earn the certification, REALTORS® must complete a one-day education program, either in-person or online, as well as three, one-hour Webinars. The certification program will be offered at the REALTORS® Conference & Expo in San Diego, Nov. 13-16.
