Short Sale Agent...to be or not to be?

All agents, whether they deal in short sales or not, are created equal?

FALSE

You wouldn't go to a doctor who wasn't certified would you? Why deal with an agent who hasn't received specialized short sale training and risk your biggest investment?

RealtyTrac reported that foreclosure activity increased 75 Percent in 2007. This statistics can either scare an agent or inspire an agent. The opportunity to assist homeowners in distress can be professionally and pesonally rewarding. Now more than ever your neighbors and possibly friends need experts in the field to help them navigate their way back to personal financial health. That not only helps you professionally, but personally assisting your market back to recovery.

If you haven't invested a few minutes into www.cdpe.com, please do so. As a Certified Distressed Property Expert you too can help you navigate short sales and avoid the many pitfalls lenders and unskilled agents bring to the transaction. You owe it to yourself and your customers to at least have knowledge of this niche in our business.

I work with buyers reluctantly on short sales as the banks are just too difficult for the most part to get along with

I have heard good things about this course, but there are so many short sale/REO scam courses out there teaching many things that are readily available to any one with a little bit of know-how and looking around. And, there is no magic bullet to making short sales any easier even if done correctly.

So true. The banks are difficult and there are so many fly by night REO/short sale so called specialists. We were reluctant to handle short sales until recently. Not only have I done the CDPE program, but I've partnered with a title attorney who handles a lot of the paperwork and legalities. It truly has become a win-win for both us and our customers.
