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.
I am very proud to be the first and only agent in Branford CT to earn the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation joining 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.
If you or someone you know may be facing foreclosure or a financial hardship that may lead you to foreclosure, please let me help you, a family member, friend or co-worker who may not know where to turn.
