The PSC course equips agents with specialized knowledge of pre-foreclosure issues, enabling them to find the best solutions for all parties involved. "Trained agents connect distressed homeowners with loan servicers to find foreclosure alternatives," says Son Nguyen, Chief Operating Officer for PartnerFirst. "With specialized education, we dramatically increase the impact we can have on the troubled housing market."

Mark Stark, Chief Executive Officer of Prudential Americana, REALTORS® in Las Vegas, and Daryl Plumber, Broker/Owner of Prudential Sierra Nevada in Reno, recently brought the live training to their agents.

"What impressed me most about PartnerFirst was how intimately they are aware of what it takes to close a short sale," said Mark Starks, Chief Executive Officer of Prudential Americana. "Additionally I feel they are clearly positioned as the leaders in the short sale segment," he added.  "Many agents that attended the workshop were already experienced in the short sale process; however, they walked away with action items that will help them increase their short sale success."

Darrell Plummer, Broker/Owner of Prudential Sierra Nevada Properties in Reno was enthusiastic about the potential impact of the training: "PartnerFirst just did me a big favor," he said. "I now have some of the best-trained short sale agents in northern Nevada." Plummer emphasized the importance of specialized knowledge, saying, "This Short Sale Mastery Workshop is the most in-depth training in the industry … I am confident our new PSC agents will achieve greater success as real estate professionals, as well as do a better job representing distressed homeowners."
