As a Certified Distressed Property Expert and a Realtor, I have the extra training and expertise to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. 

One method to avoid foreclosure is a 'short sale' which involves negotiating with the lender to accept less than is owed on the property.

Several things are needed to successfully complete a short sale:

• Expertise with the current local real estate market to properly price the home

The most common reason a home fails to sell is that it is overpriced for the current market. It is a waste
of time and money to advertise an overpriced house in today’s real estate market. For a homeowner facing
a foreclosure, this is time he or she cannot afford to waste.

• Extra training on the unique needs of a proper short sale submission

The CDPE designation indicates that extensive training was received regarding the handling of
marketing and successfully completing short sales.

• Experience dealing with distressed properties, foreclosures, and short sales

My team and I have specialized in handling distressed properties for over 5 years – not just the last
few months of market turmoil.
