Training

Are you ready to separate yourself from the competition? Through its partners, the Open Door Institute offers its members access to four separate training & certification programs designed to help you get ahead and gain knowledge you can put to use. All courses are developed by industry experts and seasoned adult learning professionals, and offered through Real Estate Educate and partner Default School.

The best part? Unlike many REO and short sale education programs being marketed today, the certification programs offered through the Open Door Institute and its training partners are already recognized by leading corporate real estate sellers -- meaning you're one step closer to growing your business.

REO Default Certified Professional (RDCPro™)


The Default School RDCPro™ designation is already an REO industry standard for any real estate broker or agent. By completing the required courses online, you can achieve this certification and move one step closer to working with a number of leading corporate REO sellers. Earning the certification adds your name and expertise to the private Default School database that clients access on a daily basis to find qualified real estate professionals.

REO Best Practices is an in-depth overview of how to manage a real estate owned (REO) property. This interactive online course gives agents and brokers all the information they need to begin a career in the REO industry. In addition, seasoned REO agents and brokers benefit from the comprehensive nature of this course.

Advanced Evaluations is an intensive online course focused on the details of completing accurate, quality evaluation reports, also known as broker price opinions (BPOs). This multi-media course challenges even the most experienced REO agent with its in-depth case studies, interactive lessons, and comprehensive quizzes.


Loss Mitigation Certified Professional (LMCPro)


The LMCPro certification is a blend of online and live training. These courses walk you through loss mitigation methods and the short-sale process. Upon achieving this certification, you will be able to guide your clients through these processes with ease.

Loss Mitigation/Short Sales is an online course that presents an overview of the different options lenders may offer borrowers to prevent foreclosure. It also describes how you can assist the borrower with the short-sale process.

Loss Mitigation Live Training offers an even closer look at the loss mitigation process. This training provides you the opportunity to learn more about short sales and interact with industry experts.


Greenovation Certified Professional (Green Pro)


The Greenovation Institute Green Pro certification entails completion of online and live training. By completing these courses, not only will you be certified, you'll learn how to get properties certified "green.” This is particularly helpful when managing real estate owned (REO) properties. By certifying a home as green, it de-emphasizes the foreclosure label, in addition to enticing buyers with its green elements.

Greenovation Institute Residential 1.0, an online course, explains the various measures you can select from to have an existing residential home certified as "green." You'll learn which measures you can implement to qualify the home for one of three levels of green certification. Each measure can help improve energy efficiency, conserve natural resources or improve the indoor air quality of the home.

Greenovation Institute Live Training allows you to interact with a green expert, learning what really works in the field and what does not. You'll also learn how to save lenders/servicers money by tapping into tax rebates that can make "going green" truly affordable.

Renovation Lending Certified Professional (RLCPro)


Renovation loans are an underused loan option in the mortgage industry. This is because many key players do not understand the benefits of these types of loans. The RLCPro certification helps you understand the benefits of renovation loans so you can better serve your clients and set yourself apart from the competition.

Renovation Loan Education helps real estate professionals, asset managers and loan officers understand the benefits, features and process of renovation loans. It outlines each renovation loan program in detail, including the FHA 203(k) Standard and Streamline renovation loan programs. By the end of the course, you will understand why it is in your best interest to add renovation loans to your suite of mortgage loan options! (This course will be available mid April 2010.)

Renovation Loan Live Training goes into more detail about these loans. Our industry expert offers three separate sessions tailored to Real Estate Agents, Asset Managers and Loan Officers.
