Boca Raton, Fla. — June 15, 2010 — Foreclosure.com today announced that it has added another dynamic training program to the agent-focused certification opportunities that it offers through The Agent University.

The REDC Certified Auction Agent program will help agents — and their buyers — capitalize on the many foreclosed home auctions held by Real Estate Disposition, LLC (REDC) each year. In fact, REDC — one of the most reputable and successful real estate auction companies in the nation — is on pace to hold more than 500 events throughout the United States in 2010 alone.

“Certified REDC auction agents will promote confidence among their buyers that they understand the auction process and know how to get the best deals possible,” says Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates. “It’s a strategic move that agents and brokers need to add to their businesses — the potential is off the charts.”

In addition to being the leading real estate auction marketing firm in the country, the REDC group of companies also provides real estate brokerage services, asset management and short sale facilitation. The company has established a dominant position in its industry by selling more than $6 billion in real estate assets at auction in 2008 and 2009 alone.

“This certification is yet another tool that REDC provides agents to be successful in the ever-changing distressed real estate market,” says Dave Lee, REDC Senior Vice President of Client Services. “It’s a fantastic way for them to catch and ride this default tidal wave for as long as it lasts.”

Interested agents need to successfully complete a comprehensive, one-time online educational course to earn their REDC certifications.

Real estate auction sales have climbed 10 percent year-over-year since 2000, according to CNNMoney.com report, and the numbers continue to rise (14 percent in the first quarter of 2010) as the housing inventory keeps piling up.

It’s a billion dollar business … $17 billion in 2007 alone, to be precise. And that figure, too, will likely rise soon if it hasn’t already.

That’s because auctioneers are holding two or more auctions per day throughout the nation to keep pace. REDC, which is among the biggest companies in the real estate auction space, is on pace to exceed 520 such sales in 2010 — a 50 percent increase compared to just last year.

What’s the reason for the staggering across-the-board increases?

Les Christie explains:

“The biggest auction advantage is speed, of course: From first marketing to closing can be less than 10 weeks … There is such a huge volume of REOs on the market — 92,000 homes were seized in April alone — that banks are anxious to turn the properties over quickly. Rather than waiting for the local housing market, they turn to auctioneers.”
