Los Angeles-based foreclosure listing service REOTrans launched an online certification program for real estate agents that sell real estate owned (REO) properties. Agents and brokers who take the online courses can display a “certified agent” logo on their marketing materials. The certification program is a marketing tool for agents to stand out in the crowd of real estate players, REOTrans CEO Chris Saitta said. “There has been a huge influx of real estate agents to meet the growing demands for REO properties and it is our goal to provide the 8,000 asset managers who use REOTrans with agents who are committed to ongoing professionalism through certification and training,” he said in a statement.
