First let me say, if you haven't taken the Certified Distressed Property Institute (CDPE) course, you are missing out. This is an invaluable course, teaching you how to identify/qualify distressed property owners, effectively negotiate with the lender, getting to a successful closing.
Until I took the course, I thought the foreclosure problem was at its peak and the worst was over. This couldn't be further from the truth. 2.97% of homeowners are in foreclosure and another 6.99% are in default, meaning they are behind on payments but not in the foreclosure process yet. When I realized the foreclosure crisis is not going away any time soon, I knew it was time for my Team to earn our CDPE designations and offer virtual assistant services to CDPE designees.
We have put systems in place to help CDPEs with:
- building a distressed property business
- servicing distressed property listings
- assembling your short sale package
- and coordinating a successful closing
The primary goal of a CDPE is to help a homeowner avoid foreclosure and move forward with their lives. We believe so strongly is this goal that we are limiting our distressed property services to CDPEs only. This way we know we are all on the same page and are working toward the primary goal of helping those in distress.
If you are a CDPE in need of support services in building your business and assisting homeowners, visit our website, myREassistant.com or give us a call, 757-271-6047.

Congratulations on completing the CDPE course, Ruth Ann! Hope it brings you much business helping agents who are swamped with work assisting those consumers in distressed situations.
