2012 Convention

Short Sale Expert Certification

SSE_logo.pngBecause of the prevalence of short sales, the Utah Association of REALTORS® has created the Short Sale Expert Certification. To earn the 10-credit certification, REALTORS® must attend the 2012 Convention and take the required courses outlined below. REALTORS® will learn the ins and outs of short sales, with particular emphasis on the Utah-specific laws and rules that affect short sales.

Upon completion of the classes, which are available exclusively at Convention, REALTORS® will receive a certificate and unlimited use of the SSE Certification in their advertising and marketing.

Courses

REALTORS® must have 7 core credits and 3 elective credits to earn the certification. These courses are available on Sept. 13 and Sept. 14. To see course times, review the Convention schedule.
