"CDPE & SFR. This course far exceeds the content of both the other courses! Excellent material and delivery! Essential information for any agent. Should be required before attempting to work with any seller facing foreclosure!
Walt Harvey Broker-Associate, Short Sale Specialist
East Oahu Realty
"I highly recommend this course. Other courses I have taken have not given me the guidelines and figures that the banks use to determine whether to approve or deny. Before I always was left with the feeling that it was up to the individual negotiator...and whether or not they had a bad day. Now I know WHAT the bank needs in order to approve...and have am confident that I will submit only packages that can meet their guidelines. THANKS!!!"
Rita Hawes
"I don't understand how any REALTOR could possibly go out and try to do a short sale without the knowledge I learned in this class. The reason the majority of REALTOR's are struggling with short sales and wasting months being completely frustrated is because they don't know the process, the banks limits and the way they need to handle sellers based on their loan type. Our industry needs to get educated on how to help seller's so we can stop the foreclosure madness. Education is the only way and I highly recommend your course!! Thank you so much!"

"The amount of NEW knowledge and resources now available to me as a CDRS is quite amazing. With 22 years experience under my belt, I can say with certainty that any licensed real estate agent dealing in this sector of the industry who is working without benefit of this dynamic training experience does so at the peril of his clients! His probability of a successful outcome MUST be diminished as he "learns the ropes" of this complex and time-sensitive process, fraught with "dead ends", "box canyons" and the most worrisome "learning experiences" I recommend American Home Rescue's "hands on" training to any responsible residential agent seeking to come to the aid of distressed homeowners in this challenging market."

“Everything. You gave more info and training. I learned stuff from you that I had no clue about. As my real estate coach said, this is really cdpe on steroids. Awesome info.”

“This is a great course which now allows me to more comfortably deal with the short sale process rather than doing so misinformed.”

“I have taken 4 course so far in short sales. I am SFR certified but this was the best of all the course I have taken...there were so many aha moments and I loved the math sections! So helpful day one that I signed up to be a member before the 2nd session. Thanks for all you are doing for all of us out here in the trenches!”

“I can't wait to actually use and share what I have learned! Very concise and easy to understand. I have avoided Short Sales as a listing agent! I felt like a blank page and this was sooo wonderful and I am actually looking forward to listing a short sale now.”

“This program is very thorough and your instruction was straight forward and easy to understand. I can not say that there are differences from other training instructions I've taken other than this really added to my learning. I am a Loss Mitigator and I can't tell how excited I am to add what I've learned to my business and how I can enhance what I can do for those homeowners in need. I got more excited by the calculator and learning how you applied the math in order to come up with the most marketable value for homes. I look forward to finishing the course (missed the 1st one) and becoming a member. This will definitely take my Real Estate/Loss mitigation to the next level.”

“Very content rich class. I learned how much I did not know about short sales. More detail than any other class I have taken. I am hoping this will help take my business to another level.”

“I took your 3 hour training class in October 2008 and immediately took that information to 2 sellers who closed as short sales in less than 3 months....which put over $10,000 in my pocket.....that I would NOT have received as both would have entered into foreclosure as they were upside down in their homes.....I sold another 6 properties this past year as short sales and when I found out you had a better class......I immediately enrolled. This information will help me help others........plus greatly improve my bank balance...thanks. You are awesome.”

“I have been avoiding learning about short sales for two year, but, realizing it may be where many real estate transactions will come from in 2010 and for several years beyond, I finally decided to try this course. Wow! It was like gaining the knowledge and confidence of someone who has been doing them for years. Thank you for sharing all your secrets, and I do mean ALL. I instantly feel as though I can honestly advertise my services in pre-foreclosure consultation and short sales. I would have never thought it possible to gain so much information in one course.”

"SFR is an overview. Does not go into detail. I have had training before, but wish I had taken this course before that first one. I have taken quite a few short sale and foreclosure classes. I try to stay on top of the game, but I truly wish I had taken this course before all the others. It would have saved me a lot of heart ache in the beginning."

"SFR did not give me complete information. I left their training not feeling qualified. I at least feel as if I could talk to a lender's representative and put in qualified offer. The CDRS Certification Program prepares agents to help struggling homeowners before foreclosure proccesses set in. I am so excited to be able to combine my desire to help people involved with my love for real estate. So many of my friends from other parts of my life could not understand how I was a Realtor, I think this aspect of my business will help them put it all together. I took the SFR training that was offered but I didn't really feel that I knew what I needed to do. When I looked at one of my best friends that was 3 months behind in his mortgage, all I could say, "Let's try to get you refinanced." Then I didn't feel very optimistic. Knowing that they had a big paying job coming along, I felt they would be able to make payments on the 3 months overdue but I am still not sure. It may have ruined their credit more than a short sale."

“Awesome class. Both of you have an incredible gift of teaching. It's so rewarding as a student to actually leave a class believing you've learned something. Your energy and enthusiasm for what you're doing is inspirational. It's real and worth working for. I, too, believe if you help people, keeping their needs in focus, you will most certainly reap the rewards--both financially and internally.”

“Your mini-course was tremendous, and your company owners are some of the BEST teachers I have ever heard. I would like to recommend your course 9-hour MCE to our market center. As you know, we are in Collin County, and just in the last 3 days I have shown 4 properties that were short sales. It is obviously needed in our market center, we need to help our clients with alternatives to foreclosures.”

"I've attended quite a few seminars and heard several speakers at prestigious colleges all over the country and your class, as far as the subject of Real Estate is concerned, is some of the best and most applicable information I have ever heard. A MUST for any Realtor."
--Joe Jarusinsky, Keller Williams
“Thank you for the class and the guide. It was a real eye opener to a growing problem in our industry and the tools we can use to help people buy again at a later time.”
--Alana Constantine, Wall and Associates
“Fabulous information! This is a gift allowing us to help our sellers. This is a tool every professional needs.”
--Rise Johns, Keller Williams
“I think your seminar on short sales is one of the most valuable I have ever taken. This incredible data is something every agent should have in this market and economy!”
