Wade Kawahara Completes Prestigious RSD Designation to Specialize in Bank Owned Homes
6/18/2010 --- Wade Kawahara, a Realtor of Dominion Real Estate Partners, LLC in Phoenix, Az., has earned the prestigious Harris Real Estate University Certified Real Estate Owned Specialist Designation (RSD), having completed extensive training in the techniques necessary to secure, negotiate and sell Bank Owned Properties (REOs). This REO training is invaluable during the current recession, especially in housing markets where foreclosure rates continue to climb.
A property becomes an REO if the original owner fails to pay their mortgage and the lending bank is forced to repossess it. The bank then reaches out to qualified REO designated brokers and agents to sell the home and recover their investment. Without access to experienced REO Listing agents, lending authorities must continue to hold onto the foreclosed property as an investment loss.
"The Harris Real Estate University RSD designation has been invaluable as I work with banks and lenders on complicated REO assignments. In the Phoenix area, more than 14,000 homes are in some stage of foreclosure. And it is happening with homes of every price range," said Wade Kawahara. "It is so rewarding to be able to help banks rehabilitate these homes, get them back on the market, and find eager homebuyers so we can improve the condition of our neighborhoods. My RSD training through HREU has enabled me to work with more lenders, move more properties and get some of these vacant homes sold!"
Tim and Julie Harris, founders of the Harris Real Estate University in Las Vegas, NV, said "Realtors such as Wade Kawahara with the HREU RSD designation have valuable training in REO properties and can help banks find qualified buyers using our extensive techniques. Through our in-depth training and continuous education programs, these agents better understand market conditions that will help lenders sell their REO inventory."
The Harris Real Estate University opened in 1998 and provides REO agent training through webinars, teleseminars and teleconferencing. Agents can earn their HREU REO Listing Designation remotely from their offices all across the nation. The RSD is the premier designation for Realtors who develop an expertise in Bank Owned properties.
"Our goal is to prepare our enrolled agents for the increasingly competitive REO market. It's becoming more difficult for uncertified agents to out-sell our graduates. Our comprehensive RSD Designation gives them everything they need to gain an edge over other agents in their communities," Harris said.

Every third Friday of every month, there is a free concert at Civic Space Park in downtown Phoenix. Civic Space park is at 424 N. Central Ave. Tonight Dead West Radio is playing. If you are not doing anything tonight, I would encourage you to get out before the heat gets too bad. The crowd tend to be on the smaller side(50-300 people) and the park has other attractions like a Splash Pad for kids and a gossamer sculpture.
This tradition started in April of 2009 and I hope it lasts a very long time.
The ASU Repeat Sales Index rose for the second consecutive month in May. The gain was a modest 2.7% but it is still a good indication that home prices are finally stabilizing in the greater Phoenix area. Foreclosure home sale prices were up 3% from last year which is another indication that prices are starting to stabilize.r market is still in a very tenuousposition due to the local economy sill being weak, but his is very encouraging news.
I am excited for a buyer that just signed a contract for a new built home that was already built. He saved the $12,000 lot premium, 3% of $213,000 toward closing costs and an additional $5,000 for buying a prebuilt spec home. The total comes to $23,390. This is a home in the planned community of Estrella Mountain Ranch. This home is over 2100 Square Feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths all on one level. It has 18" tile in all the right places and a 3 car garage.
Buying a new home has some great advantages. You get builder and supplier warranties that last for at least one year and on some appliances and the air conditioner the warranty is extended.
This planned community butts up to the Sierra Estrella Mountains and is visually stunning. There is a community center complete with a workout center and there is a world class golf course.
If you have an interest in knowing more about this or any other new home communities, please contact me.

My business is the result of the support and referrals from people like you...Thank You!
This is the start of another great week in Phoenix. I usually review my business activity for the past week on Monday morning to see what happened. That keeps me focused on what I did well and what I need to improve on. This past week, I started with a new lead company and a lot of my time was consumed with setting up my system and going through their training. I managed to take out a client to see homes, but couldn't find one he liked well enough to write an offer. I had one listing appointment that I am still waiting to hear from. I guess I'll have to reserve judgement on the week until I get an answer from my listing appointment and see how the new lead company will turn out.

Wade is a full service realtor who has a track record of helping both buyers and sellers with all of their residential real estate needs.
Seller, do you want these people to see your listing?
I have been a full time Realtor for 4 years. Prior to that, I owned a company that bought distressed properties, fixed them, sold them to investors and then leased them back from the investors and managed the properties. I was also a loan officer before that. All of those jobs helped give me a very comprehensive insight into the workings of the real estate market.
I am extremely competent at finding properties that are great values and excel at negotiating on behalf of my clients. I have a strong track record of successful real estate sales, with over sixty transactions in the past three years.
First-Rate service, Knowledge and Professionalism are the keys to my business. My focus is on effectively leading my clients through a successful, stress-free real estate transaction. My goal is to provide professional and prompt service to my clients. I listen to your concerns and desires and effectively address those concerns and desires. Please contact me today to discuss how I can be of service to you.
I keep my fingers on the pulse of the market and the ever changing technology and utilize every available tool to assist you with the sale and purchase of your home.
I work with both buyers and sellers in many parts of the Valley. I also have a strong clientele of investors that trust me to find properties that have equity. I can help you with any of your real estate needs.
When you choose a real estate agent, you're selecting someone to represent you in one of the largest, if not the largest financial transactions you may ever undertake.
The greatest service that I provide for you is being your advocate. I am here to make sure that you are treated fairly and honestly. That is the most important reason to hire an agent. Since I am a professional, I know the ins and outs of real estate transactions and I am here to protect your interests.
Best of all, this is a totally free service to you and there is no obligation. It is my pleasure to offer these services to you. Please contact me at your earliest convenience and we can start the home buying process.
"True professional" is synonymous with Wade Kawahara. He is more than a professional as he sucessfully brings a personal aspect into the real estate mix. Something that is so completely necessary especially in our situation as we traveled cross country to relocate. We felt as ease from the start as we worked together. With his steadfastness and never ending patience Wade helped us find a beautiful home and be close to our daughter. Thanks Wade, we'll always be grateful to you for that.

"My husband and I had the sincere pleasure of working with Wade during our entire relocation process. Once we had our first phone call with him we knew we encountered a true professional. From the very beginning it was nothing but pleasant."
Alexandra Pikoulas
"I like working with Wade for three reasons. He's a great communicator, accessable during all hours and knowledgable because he's worked on all sides of the transactions."
Denny Chittick
Wade,
I'd like to thank you for the quick sale of my two homes. You sold them much faster than I anticipated. Also, I immensely appreciate the little things that you did while I was out of town and was unable to take care of personally. Hope to work with you again in the future.
Robert Matthews
Wade is competent and professional. He has a good feel for the market. He is an honest guy and is hard working. His best attribute is that he keeps his promises.
Ryszard Macko
Wade made buying our new home a minimal stress task and worked with us around our schedules no matter the time of day. He always took my calls with silly questions and called me right back. He was honest and caring through the entire process and I feel that not only did he find us the perfect home we also gained a friend!
