I have just received a new designation, the SFR (Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource) Designation. I have completed live classes and online training to bring my clients the highest level of service with short sales and foreclosures. 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 one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. 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.
In this market, I felt it was very important to be as knowledgeable as possible to help not only sellers in troubled times, but buyers as well. There are many aspects of a transaction that change depending upon the situation of the seller.
I am an Associate Broker with Teton Valley Realty. I have been a licensed REALTOR® for twelve years and actively involved with property sales and development in Teton Valley.
I have lived in Teton Valley for over 20 years and feel fortunate to have made a home here with my husband, Travis, and two children, Conley and Arah. 
I would like to register for the SFR Designation online course as soon as possible.
would like to take course.
Thank you for all of your comments! I have quite a bit of Short Sale and REO experience. I started working this segment of our market a few years ago. I would say that nearly all of my transactions in the past year have been on either side of a short sale or foreclosure. I’m happy to offer advice or help any time!
