What You Need To Know About Short Sales As a Broker it's my responsiblity to educate myself about trends that can effect my client's. Unfortunately short sales have become much to common for those selling property and those purchasing. For this reason I have taken special training and classes to become certified by the National Association with the designation of SFR. This stands for Short Sale and Forclosure Resourse. While there are really no experts in these fields I consider myself well versed in representing client's in these enviornmnets.
