Christina de Barros Earns Financial Specialist Designation

Re/Max Masters Broker Christina de Barros Earns Financial Specialist Designation

   GREENWOOD VILLAGE -- Christina de Barros, a top-producing broker associate at RE/MAX Masters, Inc. in Greenwood Village, received the Certified Finance Specialist (CFS) designation from the Residential Financing Council (RFC).

de Barros is a member of the South Metro Denver Realtor Association. She earned her real estate license in 1983 and joined RE/MAX Masters in 1993. In addition to the CFS designation, de Barros holds the Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) and Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designations as well as a BA degree in Business from the State University of New York.

Realtors who receive the CFS designation have completed advanced courses and have demonstrated professional expertise in the field of home finance counseling. The Residential Financing Council is a national association comprised of real estate and mortgage professionals focused on real estate financial counseling for clients and customers.

While assistance with financing is important to homebuyers, sellers can also benefit greatly when their listing agent understands how to utilize financial expertise to expand the number of potential buyers who can qualify to purchase a home," de Barros said. Far too many buyers focus solely on the purchase price of a home.

In a competitive marketplace, sellers often feel that lowering the price may be the best way to attract a buyer. Instead of price reductions, creative financing options
such as seller buy-downs can often create a win-win scenario for both buyers and sellers. As CFS designees, we are trained to look beyond the obvious and help buyers and sellers explore a wide variety of financing options."

de Barros markets residential properties throughout the metro Denver area.
