COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This course provides real estate professionals with a practical, step-by-step understanding of the short sale process from initial listing to final approval. Participants will review the essential paperwork involved, including listing agreements, contracts, MLS entries, earnest money handling, and required short sale addenda. The course explains how to identify and work with the correct departments and decision-makers within mortgage servicing companies, as well as expected timelines set by regulatory agencies. Agents will also learn how short sales impact homeowners, including credit consequences, potential tax liability, deficiency judgments, and foreclosure alternatives, with reference to how these issues appear on the Closing Disclosure. Finally, the course covers how to assemble and submit a complete short sale package, confirm receipt by the servicer, evaluate property valuation methods, manage multiple offers, and determine when a short sale is truly considered approved.

Julia Iden has spent her career working with homeowners experiencing mortgage default and guiding industry professionals through complex loss mitigation and workout processes.

She began her career in 1987 as an auditor for GE Mortgage Insurance Company (GEMICO). In 1995, she transitioned into GEMICO’s Loss Mitigation Department as a negotiator—serving as the decision-maker responsible for approving short sales and alternative workout solutions. In 1997, Julia was promoted to Corporate Default Manager, where she traveled nationally to train mortgage companies on structuring effective workout strategies that maximized successful closings while ensuring homeowners were offered appropriate loss mitigation opportunities.

In 1999, Julia became the on-site Loss Mitigation Consultant for Freddie Mac at Washington Mutual, where she held a $5 million loss-authority approval level.

In 2003, she began developing continuing education courses approved by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission, the North Carolina Banking Commission, and the North Carolina State Bar. She was the first to introduce Short Sale continuing education classes in North Carolina for real estate agents, loan officers, mortgage brokers, paralegals, and attorneys.

Julia has served as Southeastern Regional Vice President and National Board Member of the National Association of Professional Mortgage Women (NAPMW), as well as President of the Raleigh Triangle chapter. She has also been active with the Raleigh Mortgage Bankers Association.

Her contributions to real estate education have been widely recognized. She received the North Carolina Real Estate Educators Association “Program of the Year” Award (2013), and her continuing legal education course, “What Options Does My Client Have?”, earned the North Carolina State Bar Association’s “Best of the Best” Award (2012).
