Today as part of our daily continuing education, Jennifer and I attended a webinar hosted by Bank of America. Dave Sunlin (VP of Reo & Short Sales) and Elena Celestine (Short Sale Escalation Specialist) provided us with 10 Tips and techniques to help you guide your clients through the short sale process.  We felt this was good information to share with consumers and our peers. Here is a summary of the training they provided.

Jennifer and I couldn't agree more with Dave Sunlin and Bank of America on the 1^st Tip; Obtaining education & Experience is critical if you're going to work in the default market.  There are numerous designations out there with self proclaimed experts popping up everywhere, so be selective and do some homework.  Jennifer and I have received PartnerFirst's Pre Foreclosure Specialist Certification (PSC) and the Distressed Property Institutes Advanced Certified Distressed Property Expert designation (CDPE). We felt the value was in the curriculum and the continuing education. By belonging to both these nationwide networks we ensure our clients we are providing them with information they require to make a sound decision. 

Here is an opportunity to save $100 dollars on the Pre Foreclosure Specialist Certification offered by PartnerFirst.
