The Answer to Fewer Foreclosures

While many industry and financial leaders soft pedaled its severity, millions of home owners across the country are in or close to foreclosure on their homes. The challenge is that hundreds of thousands of real estate agents are not equipped or empowered with the knowledge of the foreclosure process, how to hands Short Sales, etc.  The real estate market has changed and now smart agents understand that they need to quickly gain the added expertise … how to facilitate and negotiate a Short Sale.
