JACE Realtor Earns Foreclosure Certification

Realtor Kimi Robertson of JACE The Real Estate Company has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification, to go with her GRI 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.

The SFR certification taught Kimi how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities. This is the second advanced course on short-sales & foreclosures that Kimi has completed in the past year.

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.

Kimi is a native of the Olympic Peninsula, earned her Degree at Peninsula College, and earned the Graduate of Realtor Institute designation for advanced education and service.

Wednesday, the Senate voted to extend the $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers through the first six months of next year. The bill passed 98 to 0! Thank you all, who wrote to you Federal Senators! Today, the bill should reach the house floor, and be passed. It will then go on to the White House for Pres. Obama's signature.

First time home buyers of homes under $800,000 (!!) must have a contract signed by April 30, 2010, and close it by June 30, 2010. Those who buy a new primary residence, who have owned their current home for at least five consecutive years in the last eight years, can get a $6500 credit!

People who make more than $125,000/yr or couples who make more than $225,000/yr are not eligible.

Federal legislators are NOT expected to extend these tax credits beyond the six months.
