Gulf Shores, Ala. – Jeremy Sullivan, of Century 21 Meyer Real Estate in Gulf Shores, Alabama, has earned the prestigious Certified Investor Agent Specialist (CIAS) Designation, having completed extensive training to understand the different real estate investor types, and the investment opportunities, financing options and calculations needed to provide solutions for each.

The five real estate investor types include: First-Time Investors, Move-Up Investors, Portfolio Investors, Performance Investors, and Rehab and Resell Investors.

With the CIAS Designation training, Sullivan will help Gulf Shores, Orange Beach & Foley area residents build wealth through real estate investment, and homeowners facing foreclosure find potential buyers for their properties.

“When it comes to properties that actually end up in foreclosure,” Sullivan added, “up to 30 percent of them can’t close conventionally. Investors are often the only ones who can buy them.”
