Short Sales and Foreclosures: What Real Estate Professionals Need to Know
Product Overview
Product Overview
Although historically low interest rates, pent up buyer demand, and tight inventory levels resulted in price appreciation in many markets, more than 5.3 million US homeowners still owe more than their homes are worth. While this number is down from 15.3 million homeowners experiencing negative equity, as measured in the second quarter of 2012, it is anticipated that with current trends in appreciation it will still take years for some homeowners to reach a positive equity position.
This course is specifically designed to show how the real estate professional can serve as a resource for sellers and buyers in the brokerage of distressed properties. Real estate professionals play an invaluable role in helping homeowners and home buyers navigate these transactions and, as a result, real estate professionals can help contribute to the real estate recovery in their markets.
Designed for real estate professionals at all experience levels, this course gives learners a framework for understanding how to direct distressed sellers to finance, tax, and legal professionals; qualify sellers for short sales; develop a short-sale package; negotiate with lenders; tap into buyer demand; safeguard your commission; limit risk, and protect buyers
