Several of Century 21’s top real estate agents from throughout the nation recently descended on the Westin Diplomat in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to participate in a training retreat.

Century 21 — the world’s largest residential real estate sales organization — recently selected Foreclosure.com Agent University to put a select group of industry professionals through its Certified Foreclosure Agent training program.

This is a career-building certification course designed specifically for individuals who are interested in foreclosures and expanding their business to include sales of Real Estate Owed (REO) properties, short sales and other distressed real estate.

All of the Century 21 agents who participated in the comprehensive learning experience were required to complete and pass an exam for each of the three topics presented receive their Certified Foreclosure Agent “Specialist” designation. For more background on the “Specialist” designation click here.

We had such a great group — many of agents flew in a day early and left a day late because of opportunity to travel to South Florida and, in the process, take home skills that will grow their businesses.

That’s the latest from an Associated Press report, which cites data from the National Association of Realtors, indicating that home sales nationwide jumped 7.2 percent in July 2009.

It’s the fourth straight month-over-month increase for the beleaguered housing market.

Prices have dropped remarkably across the board, creating amazing opportunities for homebuyers to purchase properties that may have been out of their reach just a few years ago. In addition, the clock is ticking to take advantage of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit. It expires on Dec. 1, 2009.

These factors and many others, including low mortgage interest rates, have created a sense of urgency among buyers and investors.

In an interesting twist, sales of foreclosures and other distressed properties are now down, accounting for about one-third of all real estate transactions last month — down from nearly half earlier this year. Those sales, however, “helped drag down the median sales price by 15 percent to $178,400.”

It also means that there are more foreclosure deals from which to choose.

Foreclosures in Wellington Florida require catfish to clean pools
Inadequate property preservation is among the many negative impacts that foreclosures have on neighborhoods nationwide.

Inadequate property preservation is among the many negative impacts that foreclosures have on neighborhoods nationwide.

Broken windows, litter, untamed landscaping and green pools, among other deleterious side effects of abandoned/bank-owned homes, all affect nearby property values.

Banks, local governments, Homeowner Associations (HOAs) and even good neighbors often all do their best to stay on top of regular maintenance — it’s in their collective best interests.

However, when the volume of foreclosures becomes too much to handle — whether it’s because of a lack of financial or other resources — some towns and cities have no other choice but to get creative and find alternate, less expensive, solutions.

Such is the case in Wellington, Florida.

From the Palm Beach Post:

“Wellington officials are installing catfish from the Amazon in the swimming pools of foreclosed houses to see whether the 18-inch fish, called Pterygoplichthys and commonly known as ‘plecos,’ will be a cost-effective, eco-friendly method of cleaning stagnant pools…. The village has started a pilot program using the algae-eating fish, called Pterygoplichthys and commonly known as ‘plecos’ or ’sailfin catfish,’ in slime-choked swimming pools. Mitchell hopes the slime-eaters will be an inexpensive and eco-friendly way to clean up abandoned pools, an all-you-can-eat banquet of scum that’s the catfish equivalent of Cafe Boulud.”

The foot-and-a-half long scum suckers sell for $15 a pop and are expected to set Wellington back about about $700, according to the report. That’s about $6,300 in annual savings that would have been passed on to potential buyers.

The fish, unfortunately, are not included — the non-natives will be relocated or destroyed because they cannot be released into the wild.
