FORECLOSURE! SHORT SALE! PRICE REDUCED! REO! It's in all the headlines and for many real estate professionals, it's not a matter of choice whether we need to work this part of the market...it's only a matter of when. If you're like me, you may be feeling it's time it's time for to gear up for the days ahead. To date I've attended 5 different presentations on how to work with short sales. The only common denominators seem to be that the speakers are saying two things:
1) REALTORS®/Real Estate Agents - it is our responsibility as real estate professionals to help clean up this mess.
2) Most real estate agents are doing it wrong - and each has a different method for doing it right.
Both statements are very compelling. Like many of you, I'm committed to helping as many people as I can during the coming years. But, the second statement sure makes it difficult to know where we should turn for wisdom and training.
While attending the Howard Brinton Star Power Annual Conference in Orlando last week, I was introduced to the Distressed Property Institute (www.cdpenow.com) a Florida based company that I believe has a plausible plan for us to follow. They offer the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation course. The CDPE is endorsed by Howard Brinton Star Power Systems and national brokerage firms. They are offering a two day training session for us in California at a very special introductory price.
What CDPE offers is:
Your Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation Includes:
Two Days of Classroom Instruction
170+ Page Distressed Property Field Manual
Complete Short Sale Forms Disk
Checklists for Distressed Situations
Foreclosure Solutions Flow Charts
Sample Short Sale Package
Monthly Follow up Calls & New Information Updates
Use of the CDPE Logo and Designation
CDPE has authorized me to share the opportunity with you to attend a two day class on September 8 & 9 in Ontario California. We are currently creating an interest list only of people who are seriously interested in attending the class. If we are able to get 40 people, we will be able to offer the class at a huge discount of $399. They will offer this discount as an introductory price only offered to allow CDPE to break into the California market. The price of their web-based program and live classes are $599 so this will be a great opportunity.
If you need more information CDPE has scheduled a free one hour introductory preview that you can attend by clicking here http://www.cdpenow.com/cdpe_free_previews.html to register or visit CDPE's site at www.cdpenow.com.
Please respond to this blog with your interest in attending so we can get the September 8 & 9 class scheduled. Also, if you'd forward a link to this blog to any of your friends who need to be there, that would be much appreciated!
Please take a moment to read some of the incredible comments below from current and former attendees of this class. They have far more eloquently described their experience and the benefit of the class than I coul ever do!
