FACS Certification

“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE”

Mortgage Resolution Services Introduces a National Foreclosure Alternative Certified Specialist designation for Realtors®

SACRAMENTO, CA. – Mortgage Resolution Services, the nation’s pre-foreclosure solution and Short Sale experts (www.mrseducation.com), and subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial (NYSE: FNF) has announced the creation of a Foreclosure Alternative Certified Specialist (FACS) designation for Real Estate professionals. The FACS designation will allow professionals to move short sale opportunities forward more quickly, avoiding time consuming and potential deal ending delays and missteps. Through the course participants will learn key short sale expectations and points of negotiation established by lenders. FACS will also assist professionals in expanding their abilities to help the over 3.9 million homeowners currently in default with selling their homes through short sale proceedings avoiding full-scale foreclosure.

“Short sales are very much an art not a science,” says Scott Thompson, founder of Mortgage Resolutions Services, a national expert on the subject of short sales, and one of two instructors in the FACS course. “The key is mastering the rules and expectations of the lenders, and then learning how to structure the sales for rapid approval. The FACS course teaches real estate professionals how to do this – efficiently and effectively.”

The FACS course will be held in major metropolitan cities throughout the nation during 2010. The cost for the one day course is well below other short sale courses available in the market, but the content is significantly superior. “Our FACS course is the most current and unique short sale education available,” says Christopher Rockey, Mortgage Resolutions Services, Director of Education, “because the course is always adapting. We work with lenders negotiating and closing short sale transactions on a daily basis. The FACS participants are the beneficiaries of this constant interaction and experience.”

Those Real Estate Professionals certified with the FACS designation will experience a turning point for their careers. With foreclosure filings exceeding over 300,000 for the ninth straight month, the landscape of the real estate market is changing and the knowledge needed for real estate professionals to be successful is clear. The FACS course is comprised of the best material needed to teach the highest level of pure short sale strategy and execution available in the market.
