The Ohio Association of Realtors will sponsor "Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource Certification," 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Aug. 25, at the Ohio Association of Realtors, 200 E. Town St., Columbus.
This one-day course is designed to help participants evaluate all available options for distressed homeowners and identify the components of an effective short-sale package.
The course focuses on understanding why homeowners are in default, defining the options, contents of the short-sale package, differentiating judicial foreclosure from nonjudicial foreclosure, the foreclosure process, working with the listing agent, facilitating counseling sessions for buyers of foreclosed properties, and recognizing the signs of mortgage fraud and predatory lending.
Alec Hagerty, ABR, ABRM, CRB, of Lehman Johnson Realty in Elyria, will instruct the course, which has been approved for six hours of real-estate continuing-education credit.
Additionally, the course serves as an elective for the Accredited Buyer Representative designation and is required to obtain the new Short Sales Foreclosure Resource designation of the National Association of Realtors.
