Boca Raton, Fla. — August 24, 2010 — More than 30 forward-thinking real estate agents from Keller Williams — Weston recently earned Certified Short Sale Agent (CSSA) designations from Foreclosure.com’s “The Agent University” during a full-day informational seminar in Pembroke Pines.

It was among several live real estate agent training sessions that Foreclosure.com is authorized to deliver throughout the “Sunshine State.”

“I gained more practical knowledge on how to identify which listings would sell quickly and actually close than I have in any other classes I have attended,” said Rich Riveros, a Keller Williams agent who is among the top 1 percent of agents nationwide.

The team at Keller Williams — Weston realized that several servicers are gearing up to list a significant volume of properties in their local marketplace. It needed to ensure that its agents were prepared to ride this looming wave of HAFA short sale listing opportunities straight to the closing tables.

In addition, getting the inside-track on earning the listings from the servicers and providing these homeowners access to its highly-trained team of agents was equally as important for Keller Williams — Weston.

“Certified short sale agents learn everything about the process, from a basic understanding all the way to developing a business plan to attack the market from a proactive position,” said Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates. “What’s more, our CSSA program positions agents to obtain bank-approved short sale listings through our proprietary broker network, which is unlike the majority of other short sale training programs.”

In fact, agents who earn their CSSA designations automatically become members of Broker Management Services’ industry-leading nationwide broker network (www.brokermanagementservices.com). Each of these referral sources will be using the CSSA-trained agents featured in Broker Management Services’ network to handle their HAFA inventory.

“In times like these, it is always the early bird who gets the worm,” said Bruce Benenfeld, a Keller Williams broker who also serves as president of Title Express, which saw the opportunity to earn the title business on these transactions by continuing to build their relationship through offering value-added services to their own real estate network. “We want to make sure that our agents are in a position to win the day,” he concluded.

Boca Raton, Fla. — June 15, 2010 — Foreclosure.com today announced that it has added another dynamic training program to the agent-focused certification opportunities that it offers through The Agent University.

The REDC Certified Auction Agent program will help agents — and their buyers — capitalize on the many foreclosed home auctions held by Real Estate Disposition, LLC (REDC) each year. In fact, REDC — one of the most reputable and successful real estate auction companies in the nation — is on pace to hold more than 500 events throughout the United States in 2010 alone.

“Certified REDC auction agents will promote confidence among their buyers that they understand the auction process and know how to get the best deals possible,” says Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates. “It’s a strategic move that agents and brokers need to add to their businesses — the potential is off the charts.”

In addition to being the leading real estate auction marketing firm in the country, the REDC group of companies also provides real estate brokerage services, asset management and short sale facilitation. The company has established a dominant position in its industry by selling more than $6 billion in real estate assets at auction in 2008 and 2009 alone.

“This certification is yet another tool that REDC provides agents to be successful in the ever-changing distressed real estate market,” says Dave Lee, REDC Senior Vice President of Client Services. “It’s a fantastic way for them to catch and ride this default tidal wave for as long as it lasts.”

Interested agents need to successfully complete a comprehensive, one-time online educational course to earn their REDC certifications.

2009 Scholarship Program $5,000 winner, Andrew Dewar

The results are in.

More than 1,000 current and/or college-bound students nationwide answered the call during the 2009 Foreclosure.com Scholarship Program, submitting essays of 1,000 words or more on ‘How to Solve the Foreclosure Crisis.’

Andrew Dewar, a senior at Kennesaw State University located in Kennesaw, Ga., however, was voted to the head of the class by our panel of judges, winning the $5,000 top prize.

“It’s been thrilling to hear the news — I’m so thankful that Foreclosure.com put this together,” said Andrew, a former business owner and new father of a one-year-old baby girl, Avery. “I have some personal experience with [foreclosure. So this was just a natural extension of trying to solve my own mini housing crisis.

“This is tremendous — it’s so generous,” he continued. “Being an adult student and father, there are a lot of costs that come with going back to school … there is a lot at stake. So the $5,000 will pay for at least an entire semester at Kennesaw State. It’s huge.”

The program, which ran from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31, 2009, also awarded four $1,000 scholarships to the contest semifinalists:

• Mark Cantora a law student at Hofstra University School of Law in Hempstead, New York
• Kelly Kinkade from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan
• Elizabeth Panella from the Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts
• Luke Paulsen from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey

In addition to the five cash prizes in the form of scholarships, totaling $9,000, these plans will be sent to Congress and to President Barack Obama himself as soon as possible.

“The suggestions that were laid out in the essays were well thought out and I would hope that Congress and President Obama will take notice,” said Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates. “This crisis will affect the next generation so it is important to get their fresh perspectives on such an important issue.”

To read Andrew’s winning essay, as well as the others from our four semifinalists, please visit the Foreclosure.com scholarship page right here. Remember to also check out our video interview with Andrew right here.

In addition to all the students who responded, Foreclosure.com would like to acknowledge the esteemed panel of judges who selected the five finalists:

• Jeanette Francis, Ph.D., Lynn University
• Kermit Lind, J.D., Cleveland-Marshall College of Law
• Susan Wachter, University of Pennsylvania
• Michael Kraten, PH.D., CPA, Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University
• Maureen Kraten MBA, CMC, Sacred Heart University

“We were extremely impressed with the variety of ideas and concepts submitted by all the students,” said Luanne Bryant, who coordinated the scholarship effort for Foreclosure.com. “From the far-fetched to the exceptionally insightful, we received the full gamut of solutions to the foreclosure crisis. Based on the success of this program, we will attempt to find other ways to keep it alive in 2010 and beyond for the benefit of college students, and struggling homeowners, throughout the nation.”

Foreclosure.com today announced that it has enhanced its industry-leading real estate agent training curriculum, which is administered through Agent University, adding the Certified Short Sale Agent (CSSA) program to its growing list of education offerings.

Short sale transactions will comprise a significant amount of business for real estate agents for the next three to five years. The sheer volume of defaults today is just too much for loss mitigation departments everywhere to handle efficiently without outside assistance.

Additionally, with new guidelines like HAFA emerging, banks, servicers and investors are looking to short sales as a viable foreclosure alternative.

Success in short sale transactions requires a high degree of expertise to complete successfully — CSSA training provides professionals with the tools and resources to capitalize on this market trend and make short sales a profitable part of their business.

“Short sales are a fantastic way for distressed homeowners, lenders, buyers and agents to make the best out of bad situations,” said Foreclosure.com Director of Education Linda Yates. “CSSA training teaches agents how to bring all these parties together and coordinate the fastest closings possible.”

From marketing to negotiating to selling, CSSA training provides agents with the knowledge and skills to expedite a process that is often referred to anything but “short.” In fact, graduates learn how to streamline their deals so there is no more lost paperwork, delays and/or surprises, as well as obtain listings in their areas direct from major lenders.

“I would recommend this class to any agent who wants to learn about the short sale industry,” said Marva Reefer of Zip Realty, in Merrick, N.Y., who recently attended a live on-site training opportunity in New York City. Reefer was able to complete most of the entire certification process in the day-long comprehensive workshop.

Boca Raton, Fla. (November 10, 2009) — Foreclosure.com today announced that the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), which administers and enforces real estate license law in the “Sunshine State,” has endorsed its Certified Foreclosure Agent training program, validating the exceptional educational opportunities offered through Agent University.

Real estate professionals who complete the coursework and earn “Specialist” designations will now also receive seven continuing education credit hours from the state agency authorized to monitor the industry.

The Certified Foreclosure Agent live online curriculum, which includes a three-course certification bundle, as well as a certification at the culmination of the training, ensures agents will:

• Close more deals and earn higher commissions
• Garner national marketing exposure
• Learn lifetime skills and tools to thrive in any market
• Attract more leads to grow their businesses
• Become preferred listing agents among lenders and other financial institutions

“Distressed real estate is where the money is right now for agents everywhere,” said Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates. “Agents who recognize the opportunities in the foreclosure space are enjoying tremendous success. There has never before been a time when buyers and sellers understand the distressed real estate alternatives than they do today.”

Distressed real estate sales, which include foreclosures and short sales, are big business in today’s market, accounting for more than 40 percent of transactions in the first quarter of 2009, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR).

The Certified Foreclosure Agent program — with its intensive training and testing process — is leading the charge to educate agents to take greater advantage of this current market trend, connecting them with multiple buyers in their areas.

It’s important to note that all licensed real estate agents nationwide are eligible to receive Certified Foreclosure Agent training — it is not limited to Florida professionals only. Approval in Florida, however, signals the start of nationwide acceptance for the industry-leading continuing education curriculum for real estate professionals.

Implicit in this requirement, however, is that the Certified Foreclosure Agent maintain at least a minimum number of hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) each year and conduct him or herself within the ethical mandates established by the profession.

“Florida agents are required to receive 14 hours of continuing education every two years,” said Yates. “This curriculum is timely and critical in today’s environment. Survive or die is the realty that agents are faced with today.”
