We have Agents with the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. Agents with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating.
Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at a price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.
