Jamie Pierce with Bob Parks Realty, LLC has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification. 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. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” transaction. 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.

The certification program includes training on how to qualify sellers for short sales, negotiate with lenders, protect buyers, and limit risk, and provides resources to help REALTORS^® stay current on national and state-specific information as the market for these distressed properties evolves. To earn the SFR certification, REALTORS^® are required to take one core course and three Webinars.

The Bob Parks agent in Franklin, TN raised money to support the relief efforts in Haiti. Donated money and items went toward health kits for the survivors. Each kit contained basic health hygiene items like hand towels, soap, toothbrush, band-Aids, comb, and other items that the people in Haiti desperately need.

A special thanks goes out to Michelle Glass for organizing this awesome event.

Those who helped assemble the health kits: Ray & Vicki Lowe, Kristi Dustin, Michelle Glass, Craig Newby (with Birchfield Home Mortgage), Mark Dobberstein, & Debbie Flack.
