CDPE - A Certified Distressed Property Expert® is a real estate
professional with specific understanding of the complex issues
confronting the real estate industry, and the foreclosure avoidance
options available to homeowners. Through comprehensive training and
experience, CDPEs are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing
hardships in today’s market, specifically short sales.
The
prospect of foreclosure can be financially and emotionally devastating,
and often homeowners proceed without guidance of any kind. The
developers of the CDPE Designation believe that the best course of
action for a homeowner in distress is to speak with a well-informed,
licensed real estate professional. They have the tools needed to help
homeowners find the best solution for their situation. Often, when
other options have been exhausted, CDPEs can help homeowners avoid
foreclosure through the efficient execution of a short sale.
While
enduring financial difficulties is challenging for any family, the
process of finding a qualified real estate professional should not be.
Selecting an agent with the CDPE Designation ensures you are dealing
with a professional trained to address your specific needs.
CDPEs don’t merely assist in selling properties, they serve and help save their clients in need.
