Suzan Clough Earns NAR Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource® Certification
Buyers and Sellers Benefit from REALTOR® Expertise in
Distressed Sales
Miami, FL, June 28th, 2017— Suzan Clough with YES Real Estate Services has earned the nationally
recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification. The National
Association of Realtors® offers the SFR® certification to Realtors®
who want to help both buyers and sellers navigate these complicated
transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows.
According to a recent NAR survey, nearly twenty percent of
all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For
many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new
“traditional” transaction. Realtors®
who have earned the SFR® certification know how to help sellers maneuver the
complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and
foreclosure opportunities.
“As leading advocates for homeownership, Realtors®
care as much about keeping
families in their homes as they do about helping them find the home of their
dreams., but unfortunately, there are situations in which people just cannot
afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a short sale results,” said NAR President Tom Salomone,
broker-owner of Real Estate II Inc. in Coral Springs, Florida. “Foreclosures
and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers and benefit the larger
community, as well, but it’s extremely important to have the help of a real
estate professional like a Realtors® who has earned the SFR®
certification for these kinds of purchases.”
The certification program includes training on how to qualify
sellers for short sales, negotiate with lenders, protect buyers, and limit
risk, and provides resources to help Realtors® stay
current on national and state-specific information as the market for these
distressed properties evolves. To earn the SFR® certification, RealtorsÒ are required to take one core
course and three Webinars. For more
