GREG FLANAGAN Broker/REALTOR EARNS CDPE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 28, 2009

GREG FLANAGAN EARNS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNATION TO HELP HOMEOWNERS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE

Greg Flanagan of RE/MAX Advanced Realty in Mt Pleasant, SC has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is seeing an increase in short sales and foreclosures.

Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting 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 foreclosures.

In the Charleston Tri-County area, more than 1,000 homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges and across socio-economic boundaries.

"This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales," said Flanagan, a certified REO specilaist. "It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure."

Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., said that Realtors® such as Greg Flanagan with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. These experts also better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience, he said.

The CDPE is the premier designation for REALTOR's helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales.

"My goal is to educate as many people as possible so we can help as many homeowners as possible," Flanagan said. "My first goal is to keep folks in their home if at all possible."

Testimonials

Hi Greg...

I just wanted to Thank You Again!

I told Mike on our first trip that I trusted you were going to find the right house for us, and I was right! You sat through close to 50 houses all together since December and I truly appreciate it!..... Thanks Again, talk to you soon

Dawn/Mike Mt. Pleasant,SC

I highly recommend Greg Flanagan as a Realtor. Greg was patient with our tri-county home search and worked with us virtually before our move to the Charleston area to help us locate neighborhoods and homes that best matched our requirements.

Once in Charleston, Greg was patient with our extensive search, including assistance to find a rental property until we were comfortable enough with the Charleston area to buy. When we were ready to purchase we once again looked to Greg to work with us to find the perfect home within our budget.

Once we found the home that we loved, Greg worked diligently to ensure a terrific price, and all of the contractual documentation was in order. I was highly impressed with his observation and listening skills to identify and find us the right home, his skills as a negotiator, and his talent to make the purchase of a home smooth and seamless.

"Thanks again for everything. You really made what I had imagined would be a completely long and painful process in truth very easy for us. I can't thank you enough for that!! "

A transplant from Upstate New York, I have called East Cooper home for the past 13 years. Married with grown children, my wife Ann and I enjoy the lifestyle and relish in the deep history and hospitality that is found in the Lowcountry.

Like many of you reading this, I came to Charleston for a brief stay in January of 1997 and fell in love with the area. The friendliness of the people, the smell of the marsh and roar of the ocean all drew me to Mt. Pleasant by spring of that year.

I found the real estate profession a little later in life then most. While raising my family I was employed as a Lieutenant with the NYS Department of Corrections. As a former elected Mayor of the Village of Cobleskill in NY, former Boy Scout leader, board member of more associations then I can remember and small business owner I feel I can be your greatest asset during your buying or selling experience.

Having bought and sold homes over the years I understand the deep emotional ties that come with the purchase and sale of your primary home. My experience can help help you through these times as an objective voice in your decision making process. Whether as an exclusive buyers agent or listing agent you can expect an honest, straight forward, objective opinion. My goal is not to sell you any house, but to help you find or sell your home.

Bottom line folks, if you're looking for someone who will agressively work for you whether buying or selling your home give me a call.

My Core Values:

To Always;

...Live by the"Get by Giving"philosophy

...Make my client's #1 goal, my #1 goal

...Live up to my standards, despite temptations to lower them

...Be willing to work toward a common good

...Do what I say I'll do, sometime more, just never less.

Buying a home? I look forward to helping you select the home of your dreams by taking time to listen to your needs and desires.

Selling a home? My real estate expertise and many effective marketing programs will give you the exposure and edge you need to sell your home quickly for top dollar.

Returning Client? I appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve you and hope you take advantage of the valuable resources I provide. Come back to visit often!

New Home Buyer Information

Buying A New Home From A Builder?

Are you contemplating purchasing a home in a new development or subdivision? If so you need to know the facts about who's actually looking out for your interest. It sure isn't the agent behind the desk.

You may think it isn't that complicated buying a home in a new subdivision, find the house, sign the paperwork, use their mortgage company, appraise the house using their appraisor, walk through the house with their inspector, close on the house using their attorney, move in the house by yourself. Done deal right? Hardly!

Everything a builder does, and everybody a builder employs or contracts with, including the agent at the sales center is there for one reason, to make as much money as possible for the builder. No one on that site is there to represent you during your purchase. Sure they are friendly and helpful, but when it comes right down to it decisions are made on behalf of and for the good of the builder. You need representation.

You're probably asking yourself, "What could go wrong, after all it's a new house?". Lots can go wrong. From poor workmanship during the construction to being overcharged on your closing fees, there are hundreds of ways you can come out on the short end of the stick. Don't let this happen to you.

What will it cost me to have you represent me? Nothing! Zero! Nil! Nada! My fee is already in the asking price of the home. So whether you're using me or not you are still paying for representation without having any. Why pay for something you aren't getting?

How do I hire you? Simple. Give me a call or drop me an email BEFORE you go into the sales office or before you call the number on the sign in front of a house for sale. I will make every effort to come to you that day and help you. If you can't wait or happen to stumble over a house that you just have to have now, give the agent on duty my name and tell them I am representing you as your agent.

To understand the relationship between real estate agents and potential clients South Carolina has developed a brochure which explains the difference between a customer and a client. Click the link to view the brochure or copy and paste the link into a new window. http://www.llr.state.sc.us/POL/RealEstateCommission/RECPDF/AGENCYLAWBROCHURE05R.pdf

To summarize the brochure, a customer represents themselves and the agent (doesn't matter who they work for) represents the seller (builder). A client is represented by an agent through a written agreement (agency agreement) which layouts the duties of the agent and the responsibilities of the client. http://www.screaltors.com/cn/test/realtor/pdf/Stand_Doc/scar-130_w_highlights.pdf

Don't go out unrepresented, call me or fill out the form below and I will contact you. It doesn't cost you anything to have representation but it could cost you plenty if you don't.
