Historic Real Estate Certification Course August 24, 2010

Risa Davis, a Portland, Oregon based Realtor® and "Preservationista", has launched a nationwide historic certification course for those selling and restoring historic homes. Real estate professionals will be able to attend a 2 day course that will provide a comprehensive overview of issues related to the buying and selling of historic homes, as well as being a responsible steward of historic homes.

Real estate professionals will learn to identify architectural styles, how to work with Local/State/National resources for financial and technical assistance, learn about regulations and standards for the rehabilitation of historic homes, and network with restoration professionals, historic homeowners, and tap into online historic real estate resources through a partnership with PreservationDirectory.com (more information at www.eclecticpreservation.com/certification-process).

As a partner of the new certification course, PreservationDirectory.com is happy to announce that all partipants will also receive a free, 1 year listing on the "Historic Real Estate Agent Directory" of both PreservationDirectory.com and our partner site HistoricForSale.com. Attendees will be automatically added upon successful completion of the course.

The first of a series of classes to be held throughout the United States will be on August 24-25, 2010 at the Architectural Heritage Center in Portland, Oregon. More dates and cities will be announced soon. To sign up for the Portland event, go to www.eclecticpreservation.com/schedule-locations.
