COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Real Estate Divorce Specialist Training Course is now available as a 4 DVD home-study course, making the designation available to real estate professionals nationwide. The program teaches real estate professionals about the legal and financial aspects of divorce as it relates to real estate.

 The market for real estate professionals is enormous. Each year in the U.S., over 2.4 million people are divorced. The majority of those cases involve real estate transactions, creating a high demand for real estate professionals that specialize in divorcing clients. With the current increase in divorces caused by the economic crisis, this may be the fastest growing trend in real estate marketing.

The Real Estate Divorce Specialist Training Course was developed as a live two-day seminar in 2007. In the new home-study version of the course, the material was expanded to apply to all 50 states. Now real estate professionals nationwide can benefit from this training in the convenience of their home and at their own pace, without the expense of traveling to a live seminar.

Carol Ann Wilson of the Financial Divorce Association developed the REDS Training Course. Wilson, a Certified Financial Planner, is widely recognized as one of the nation's foremost experts on the financial and tax aspects of divorce. Wilson enlisted the help of nationwide divorce and real estate expert attorney Gregg Greenstein, JD to teach the legal issues portion of the course. Greenstein is a shareholder in the law firm of Frascona, Joiner, Goodman and Greenstein, P.C. in Boulder, Colorado and has been specializing in divorce and real estate law for over 20 years.

The goal of the Real Estate Divorce Specialist Certification Training Course is to give real estate professionals the knowledge and tools they need to better help their divorcing clients and to show them how to capitalize on the growing niche market of divorcing couples. The program includes a complete Marketing Package, so graduates can begin  promoting their new designation immediately. Wilson is no stranger to creating niches.  In 1993, she founded the Institute for Certified Divorce Planners in order to train attorneys, CPAs and financial professionals in the financial issues of divorce.  Since she created this new niche in the financial planning industry, hundreds of divorce practitioners have been trained and are now practicing all over the U.S.  

"Professionals who have been trained in divorce issues have never been in more high demand," says Wilson. "The key to success is to stand out from the crowd and distinguish yourself from other real estate professionals. Our specialized training program will give you all the tools you need to better help divorcing clients and take full advantage of this growing niche market."

TESTIMONIALS

 

The Carol Ann Wilson, CFDP, and Gregg Greenstein, JD, seminar for Real Estate Divorce Specialists enables Real Estate Brokers to educate their clients during the sale or purchasing of a property prior, during, or after divorce. Taking the Real Estate Divorce Specialist seminar is a "must have" for Real Estate Brokers who care about their buyers and/or sellers. (Janelle Endres)

Wow! Anyone who can make a dry, technical subject interesting and fun must be a fabulous speaker! Extremely valuable information! Great boost to my career! (Sabina Kier)

I found this information very fascinating. I'll be more confident when dealing with the divorcing clients now that I understand the implications and process of divorce. (Kim Adamof)

Having this information would have saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars in the inequitable divorce settlement I received. Now I can help other people avoid many pitfalls during one of the most painful times of their life. (Mary Ann Bledsoe)

This is a real eye opener. We really don't know how divorce works. As an agent who has done many divorce sales throughout my 22 year career, I now realize I didn't know as much as I thought. Fantastic opportunity to be a great help to the divorce world. (Laurie Roberts)

A whole new opportunity to help at risk homeowners who are involved in the divorce process. (Anne Feist)

Great concept for an area we frequently run into. (Duane Caraballo)

Having been divorced, I never knew half of what you brought to the table. (Mike Shaw)

This course addressed a very substantive subject that is one portion of business for the Realtor. It gives the Realtor a full understanding of the interaction between the Realtor, Certified Financial Divorce Planner and the attorney on the best way to handle and expedite the matter with and between the divorcing parties., but still be sensitive to the parties and their children. (Maria Smith)

Lots of valuable information that was new and not available thru CRS or continuing education courses. A very worthwhile course to consider taking. A real eye opener! (Gail Lincoln)

The real estate laws on common law marriages were a real eye opener and important for today's lifestyles. (Evie Cohen)

Education is critical to maintaining our professional status. This class gives you more tools to efficiently assist a large market section. I also found it to be a wonderful networking opportunity! (Jacqui Jeffress)

This was a Special class!!! You have assembled great material that I am confident will serve me well for years to come. (John Krol)

Very informative seminar. A must for Real Estate Brokers. (Adam Malachi)

Great class. Very timely (timeless) and relatively undeveloped topic. Glad to see someone finally doing some training in this area. (Ray Mallard)

The legal concepts while based on Colo Law, were general enough to apply to other jurisdictions. Attorney Greenstein's efforts to research other state's applicable laws provided a base for that state's practitioner to do further research. Ms. Wilson gave us enough information to understand the potential pitfalls and issues that can arise during divorce where the sale of Real Estate is involved. (Andrea Kerr)

I am sure that every participant in this room is now thinking (at the end of this fabulous seminar) how much better they could have served their past clients who were divorcing. I know these above average realtors will now be able to take their quality of service to a new level. (Kathryn O'Brien)
