Local Real Estate Agents Achieve the Short Sale and Foreclosure Certification from the National Association of REALTORS®

Complexities and Solutions In Today's Real Estate Market

Minnetonka, Minnesota (Grassroots Newswire) February 16, 2010 -- Sharon Holland, Lisa Lynch, Janet Piontek and Mark Drahos, Realtors with EXIT Lakes Realty recently achieved the Short Sale and Foreclosure Certification from the National Association of Realtors. These accomplished Real Estate Agents recognized the need for specialized training to work in the best interest of their Clients in today's real estate market.

It is not uncommon in many metro areas that 30-50% of all the sales in 2009 were lender mediated or short sales subject to lender approval. These transactions are expected to increase over the next 12 months according to a presentation by the Minneapolis Board of Realtors.

For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” real estate transaction. Knowing how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities are not merely good skills to have in today’s market—they are critical. And while short sales and foreclosures are not for the faint of heart, agents with the proper tools and training can use these specialty areas to build their business for the long term while providing educated solutions for their clients experiencing a complex and sometimes distressing transaction.
