Real Estate Divorce Specialists Create New Niche

- In the ever-competitive real estate industry, real estate
professionals are always looking for ways to stand out from the crowd
and attract more clients. Most real estate professionals have worked
with at least one client that was experiencing a divorce. Divorce,
unfortunately, is very common in the U.S., with over half of all
marriages ending in divorce.

Divorcing couples comprise a large portion of the real estate market. In
over 72% of all divorce cases, the parties involved are either buying a
house, or selling a house, or both. This creates a demand for a real
estate professional who understand the special problems and laws that
govern the dissolution of a marriage.

Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialists are trained in the legal and
tax aspects of the divorce process as it relates to real estate. They
learn obscure legal implications that even many divorce attorneys don't
understand. This specific training allows them to help divorcing couples
get a fair and equitable division of real estate and avoid pitfalls
common in a divorce.

Carol Ann Wilson of Longmont, Colorado, developed the Real Estate
Divorce Specialist program. Wilson is widely recognized as the nation's
foremost expert on marital financial issues and the leader in the field
of divorce financial planning. As a Certified Financial Planner, she has
been doing pre-divorce financial consulting since 1985.

Gregg Greenstein, JD, a nationally recognized Colorado divorce and real
estate attorney, teaches the first day of class. Greenstein, who has
been in practice for over 20 years, has taught dozens of divorce classes
for real estate brokers.

"Divorcing couples are going through one of the most stressful times in
their lives and they need all the help they can get," Wilson says.
"They are looking for a professional who not only empathizes with what they're
going through, but who understands the tax and legal implications of
dividing real estate in a divorce."

Wilson is promoting her program as a way for real estate professionals
to create a niche in the large and competitive real estate industry.
Wilson is no stranger to creating niches. In 1993, she founded the
Institute for Certified Divorce Planners in order to train attorneys,
CPAs and financial professionals in the financial issues of divorce.
Since she created this new niche in the financial planning industry,
hundreds of divorce practitioners have been trained and are now
practicing all over the U.S.

"Any time you can develop a niche and stand apart from the crowd, you
will benefit your practice," Wilson says. "In the real estate market,
divorce cases result in a significant number of real estate
transactions, so it is an excellent niche to develop. As a Certified
Real Estate Divorce Specialist, you can stand out from the crowd and
become the real estate professional of choice for divorcing couples and
their attorneys."
