A property becomes an REO if the original owner fails to pay their mortgage and the lending bank is forced to repossess it. The bank then reaches out to qualified REO designated brokers and agents to sell the home and recover their investment. Without access to experienced REO Listing agents, lending authorities must continue to hold onto the foreclosed property as an investment loss.

“The Harris Real Estate University RSD designation has been invaluable as I work with banks and lenders on complicated REO assignments. In the Phoenix, Arizona, more than 60% of the homes are in some stage of foreclosure. And it is happening with homes of every price range,” said Vega, “It is so rewarding to be able to help banks rehabilitate these homes, get them back on the market, and find eager homebuyers so we can improve the condition of our neighborhoods.  My RSD training through HREU has enabled me to work with more lenders, move more properties and get some of these vacant homes sold!”

Tim and Julie Harris, founders of the Harris Real Estate University in Las Vegas, NV, said “Realtors such as Vega with the HREU RSD designation have valuable training in REO properties and can help banks find qualified buyers using our extensive techniques. Through our in-depth training and continuous education programs, these agents better understand market conditions that will help lenders sell their REO inventory.”

The Harris Real Estate University opened in 1998 and provides REO agent training through webinars, teleseminars and teleconferencing. Agents can earn their HREU REO Listing Designation remotely from their offices all across the nation. The RSD is the premier designation for Realtors who develop an expertise in Bank Owned properties.

“Our goal is to prepare our enrolled agents for the increasingly competitive REO market. It’s becoming more difficult for uncertified agents to out-sell our graduates. Our comprehensive RSD Designation gives them everything they need to gain an edge over other agents in their communities,” Harris said.

Thompson achieved this prestigious designation after completing 18 hours of course work designed specifically for REALTORS®.  The courses were created in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of industry experts from across the country; ensuring designees gain comprehensive knowledge of green homes and buildings and issues of sustainability in relation to real estate.

More specifically, Thompson was trained in understanding what makes a property green, helping clients evaluate the cost/benefits of green building features and practices, distinguishing between industry rating and classification systems, listing and marketing green homes and buildings, discussing the financial grants and incentives available to homeowners and helping consumers see a property’s green potential.

“As energy costs rise along with concern for the environment, homeowners are looking for innovative ways to save money and live responsibly,” said Dick Gaylord, NAR’s immediate past president.

NAR’s Green Designation was developed in response to growing consumer awareness of the benefits of resource-efficient homes and buildings.  The designation helps consumers who care about energy efficiency and sustainable building practices identify REALTORS® who can help them realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.

As an NAR Green Designee, Thompson has gained the knowledge and the tools necessary to become a trusted green resource. For more information about Meg Thompson, please email meg@megandco.com.

Five unique search categories displayed throughout Petersen’s website enable home seekers to browse literally every aspect and detail of a home. An advanced search option, being the most comprehensive, provides such characteristics and traits as: view, flooring, driveway, heating/ cooling system, pool, landscaping, roof type, school district, appliances, neighborhood, scenery, number of rooms, exterior, and much more, helping prospective home buyers to narrow their searches, to determine what they truly want and need out of their new property, and in turn, find their perfect home. Consumers then have the opportunity to save their specified search preferences and receive automatic email updates, the moment a property matching their specifications arrives on the RMLS.

Petersen has access to his website visitors saved search information, via his own individual login dashboard, providing him with the resources to not only get to know his clients wants and needs, but to also get to know each individual on a more personal basis, creating a client to realtor relationship, which is often lost when dealing with real estate online.
