short sale, realtor short sale training As a Realtor, you probably have some degree of experience selling foreclosed homes. In some markets, short sales and foreclosed homes dominate the types of properties that are being sold because they are such a good value. If you haven’t gotten any Realtor short sale training, you might consider taking a class or two in this field because the more you know about filling out short sale forms and working with the existing lenders on helping them get those REO’s off their books, the more homes you’ll be able to sell. Realtor short sale training can be done in traditional real estate schools or by taking online classes. If you do decide to take the classes online, you should take them from programs that are either accredited for your state, or tailored for your state. Laws vary from place to place, and it would be good to be very familiar with the legal requirements where you are actually going to be selling these homes. That said, short sales and foreclosures are significant opportunities for buyers and Realtors, alike.
