In today's current market, more and more Connecticut homeowners are experiencing financial distress and finding themselves in danger of losing their home to foreclosure.
Sensing the overwhelming urgency and need to help these homeowners,
it was just as important to acquire the training, education and
specialized knowledge necessary to assist these families in finding
better solutions for their future.
As the first and only agent in Branford CT to earn the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation and one of less than 1,000 nationwide (out of 1.2 million Realtors in the
U.S.) who have completed this extensive training course in foreclosure
avoidance and short sales this expertise will be invaluable to offer
at a time when the New Haven County area is ravaged by "distressed
homes" in the foreclosure process.
A short sale
allows a cash-strapped seller to reapy the mortgage at the price that
the homes sells for, even thought it is lower than what is owed on the
property. With declining 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 foreclosure.
In the Branford area many homes are in danger of
foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges. Local experts say
that even high-priced homes are not immune.
I view the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE)
designation and my commitment to help financially distressed homeowners
as both a responsibility and an obligation in my profession. My focus
with homeowners facing foreclosure is to give them the hope of a
dignified solution to their financial crisis through current lender
loan modification, loan refinancing (short or long-term) or a short
sale.
Over 85% of the clients served by the CDPE real estate professionals avoid foreclosure.
Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute believes
that homeowners surrounded by a strong CDPE real estate agent including
legal and financial referrals have the greatest chance of avoiding
foreclosure and at minimal financial investment to the homeowner.
The Distressed Property Institute endorsement by RE/MAX International, Keller Willams and Star Power founder and national real estate trainer Howard Brinton continues to position the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation as the leading force in national short sales training.
