It's been two years since we offered this course from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Short sales haven't exactly slowed down since then, so get on the bandwagon! This is a unique opportunity to really learn what to do and definitely increase your sales numbers. You'll be proud to show the initials of SFR behind your name.

 

The course is slated for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22 in the KCRAR classroom. You'll earn six hours elective CE for Kansas and Missouri.

 

There is NO cost to take this one-day course. However, in order to be officially certified and use the SFR logo, NAR will charge you a one-time fee of $175. If you took this course online at NAR, the course itself would cost another $115 and there would be no CE credit. We're doing our best to bring you a good deal!
