Why Choose a PSC Agent?

If you’re contemplating a short sale, you need a real estate agent with specialized training. Why? Because short sales are among the most complex and difficult of transactions.

Most real estate agents are trained to handle standard sales. Some have also tapped into the REO market, and know how to complete sales of bank-owned properties. But short sales differ from both of these in a number of ways.

Short sales depend on agreement between at least three parties, rather than just a willing buyer and seller. The seller’s lender must sign off on any deal, making negotiations much more complicated.
In today’s world, most homes also have other encumbrances: second mortgages, home equity credit lines, and IRS liens, to name a few. Each of these must be addressed in a short sale negotiation, which takes extraordinary skill.

Short sales also have serious consequences for sellers that most people are unaware of:

• Sellers may have to pay taxes on the forgiven debt
• They may still be liable for the remaining debt after the sale!
• Their credit may suffer—depending on how the sale is reported

The short sale agent must address all of these issues from the beginning, and manage all the different facets of the transaction to a successful close. Only a specialist with training and experience has the skill to do that.

All Short Sale Certifications Are Not Equal

  There are many short sale training courses available for agents—most of them written by other agents. What makes the PartnerFirst Pre-foreclosure Specialist Certification unique is its depth. The PSC course draws on the expertise of veteran short sale agents, mortgage lenders, default services specialists and other industry insiders to create a well-rounded view of the short sale process.

PartnerFirst only accepts enrollees who already have a track record of success—in short sales and real estate generally. So, when you list your home with a PSC agent, you can be confident you’re getting the best in the field.

The PSC emblem assures you that your agent has completed the most thorough, rigorous education available. Don’t trust your transaction to anything
less. 


The Virginia Real Esate Solutions team has been trained and obtained the PSC designation, as well as undergone training for HAFA and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
