FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Yvonne Beal Earns NAR Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification

Buyers and Sellers Benefit from REALTOR^® Expertise in Distressed Sales

Chapel Hill, NC - Yvonne Beal with East Bridge Realty has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource 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.

According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new "traditional" transaction. REALTORS^® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.

"As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS^® believe that any family that loses its home to foreclosure is one family too many, but unfortunately, there are situations in which people just cannot afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a short sale results," said 2009 NAR President Charles McMillan, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth. "Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers and benefit the larger community, as well, but it's extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional like a REALTOR^® who has earned the SFR certification for these kinds of purchases."

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.

Chatham County NC Real Estate

For years a visitor to the Triangle wouldn't hear much about Chatham County. It was missing from area maps and rarely mentioned in the local news and weather. I think that´s because it has been a rural county without a large center of population. Things are changing fast now because of Chatham´s location surrounded by Orange, Durham and Wake Counties, completion of major roads, and the growing population of the Triangle. Much of Chatham County is still very rural but North Chatham has seen quite a bit of growth in the past few years with the development of large planned neighborhoods like Briar Chapel.

Why move to Chatham County?

During the past 10 years or so the planning departments in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Raleigh have been requiring developers to cluster homes and leave areas of green space to help protect the environment. The result of this is most new home neighborhoods have small ¼ to 1/3 acre lots.

Growth has been limited in Chatham because of the lack of sewer services to the county. New improvements in waste treatment systems such as spray irrigation have made development of large golf course neighborhoods with big lots a cost effective way for developers to go. It also offers new home buyers something that is in short supply in the Triangle, a new home on a large lot. Over the past few years so much land was approved for development that there is now an over supply of homes and there are some real deals to be found.

When I saw this sign while driving from Chapel Hill to Chatham County I thought the pro-development town council had put it up. I quickly realized a prankster had added DEVELOPERS PARADISE. This was right before our market entered the recession.

Schools

The school test scores vary across the county. In the North Chatham area the scores compare favorably with the rest of the Triangle. If you focus on the North Chatham schools, Perry Harrison and North Chatham Middle and Elementary you will see that they are similar to the scores of the Chapel Hill schools which have the reputation as the best in the state. A new high school is planned for North Chatham in the next few years. There is also the Woods Charter School, grades k-12 with an excellent reputation but a waiting list.
