Register Real Estate Advisors

Register Real Estate Advisors is a proud member of the Greater Houston Association of Builders. As the GHBA celebrates Professional Designation Month RREA decided to outline some of our Realtor Designations. At RREA, Shannon Register is both the Broker and Owner. A Broker’s License is probably the highest real estate designation available. We have several Realtors in our brokerage that are Broker Associates (they have a Broker’s license.) Another one of Shannon’s designations is the GRI – Graduate Realtor Institute. This designation includes training in marketing, brokerage, and general real estate buying and selling. The ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative Designation makes Realtors an expert when it comes to working with buyers. Shannon also has completed the Texas Realtor’s Leadership Program and is certified to work with the Texas Veterans Land Board. Many of our agents can work with Texas Vets. Shannon has been certified in new home construction sales. Through the local board of Realtors, she is a Social Media Pro. Through the National Association of Realtors she has her ePro Designation. In addition to all of these, Shannon holds the Short Sale and Foreclosure Certification and the Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation. Many of the RREA Agents have their ABR and CDPE. The Certified Negotiation Expert is another one that many of our agents have. This is an important one because you want whoever the Realtor is that is representing you to be a good negotiator. Shannon is also an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist. This designation is for Realtors who work with consumers that are purchasing homes over $400K in the Houston Market. When choosing a Realtor or Broker to represent you with your real estate needs, you want to choose one that is educated in that area and will work for you.

Ever wanted to find out more about Foreclosures in Spring, The Woodlands, and Houston, Texas? Check out this video from The Houston Association of Realtors to learn more. It’s part of my twice a week video blog series that helps consumers make informed real estate decisions.

This video, produced by the Houston Association of Realtors, helps consumers to understand what a short sale is and how the process works. A distressed property is one that is in the short sale process or is currently under foreclosure. Currently, Shannon Register is a designated Certified Distressed Property Expert and Certified to do Short Sales and Foreclosures. When a foreclosure does not sell on the courthouse steps, it returns to the Bank Owner in what Realtors refer to as an REO (Real Estate Owned Property.) If you know someone having dificulty paying their mortgage, the best advice you can give them is to contact our team as soon as possible for help. The short sale process takes time, so the sooner you get the property listed, the sooner it will sell and the less likely the bank is to foreclose on the owners. It can be humiliating to be behind on your mortgage, but our team knows the sensitivity of this ordeal and we understand that there are many situations that can lead to slow mortgage payments that cannot be caught up. Please contact us first for help! We are trained and work with banks regularly to help consumers in the Houston area. Our expertise could save your home from Foreclosure and save your credit so you can purchase a home again in two years – and there’s usually no cost to you!
