This past week I took a course sponsored by the National Association of Realtors(r) on "Short Sales and Foreclosures" which is the first step toward the Certification SFR Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource. This course was one day and was loaded with all kinds of helpful information so that I can advise homeowners appropriately if they are considering a short sale or headed toward foreclosure. There was a lot of information about what we real estate agent should not do.
The course was taught by Randy Templeman who was great, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We agents need to take continuing education to maintain our licenses and when the instructor is boring or stumbles it is painful to sit through these classes and thankfully that was not the case here.
Getting the license is not difficult but educating your self and getting experience is what makes the difference which is why after 17 years I continue to take classes and learn.
A quote from Mr. Templeman's website:
Select your Realtor as carefully as the home you buy! It does make a difference. Realtors are licensed by New York State. New York also licenses drivers. Does that make everyone a good driver? The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
