Coming in 2011 NFSTI will be reestablishing it’s Foreclosure Training Program.  This will coincide with the recent announcement by Fannie Mae that foreclosures will resume.  Current members of NFSTI will be included in the portal with a 1 year membership with an updated username and password.  The new Training Program will bring about a deeper understanding of the REO and related industries as well as an enhanced certification exam.

As of 2011 all members, whether they have been previously NFSTI Certified REO Specialists or not will be required to pass the updated exam in order to be promoted as such.  This will reflect the current changes in the REO and related industries and will provide the assurance that each NFSTI Certified REO Specialist has appropriate credentials to service distressed assets properly.

We look forward to the new year.  Be merry, be safe, and be prepared for a very busy year in 2011.

August Membership:

Membership showed a significant jump in August, 2010 most likely due to some email notices that were sent out regarding user log in information. Now that activity has ramped up to a significant level NFSTI will be launching a few projects that have been in development for a while.

The goal for NFSTI over the next few months is to increase the awareness of default servicing for those agents still looking to break into the niche while simultaneously offering training, networking, and insight for the most seasoned default servicing real estate professional.

DWE Web Design:

As you may have noticed we’re also promoting a new web development and social media integration service started by the founder of NFSTI. The purpose of this service is to improve on the amount of reach real estate agents have on potential clients. During the economic downturn we’ve realized the need for 2 things:

• Top search engine ranking for specific key words.
• Efficient customer capture and a strong ROI (return on investment).

The 2010 Five Star Conference
