Santa Clarita Realtor Receives Pre-Foreclosure Specialist Certification (PSC)

In today's market foreclosure does more then hurt your credit, it affects your ability to buy a home in the future. There are many programs out there to help struggling homeowners who are falling behind on their mortgage payments. During these tough economic times hardworking people everywhere are having to make difficult decisions regarding their financial future. In order to make sure that you and your family are protected from foreclosure you need a Realtor who has been properly trained to specialize in Pre-Foreclosure alternatives.

As Realtors who specialize in helping homeowners avoid foreclosure in Santa Clarita, Jennifer and I go out of our way to seek out continuing education from the brightest minds in the industry. Thanks to the incredible Frank Crandall (Santa Clarita KW Team Leader) and Rod Gordy (Sr VP Fidelity National Title) we were introduced to PartnerFirst, a Nationwide Certified Short Sale Agent Network, who offer's the PSC designation. Jennifer and I finished their intensive two day Pre-Foreclosure Specialist Certification course. This course enhanced our negotiation skills and provided us with a perspective from the lenders point of view, when it comes to loss mitigation.
