Become a CDPE

By
Real Estate Agent with JKA Properties (Meli G Realty & Investment Group)

I hadf done a few short sales here and there in the past few years and after dealing with several that had second and sometimes third loans, I thought I had become pretty good at it... Until I took the CDPE certification class. The class was two days long and not cheap, but after only a few hours in the class, I was hooked. The training was awesome and I learned a lot. The first thing I figured out was how little I knew until then about short sales and the foreclosre process. I found out the language of lenders in distress, the forms I need to use, the way to best present the information to the bank to increase the chances of success, the different formats different banks use and how to handle them all, working with the owners in distress and educating them about the process.

I am already handling two new short sales and I feel great about it. For the first time I have turned in a star short sale package that is sure to be a winner! If you would like to learn more about the short sale process and / or become a CDPE check them out: http://www.cdpe.com/become-a-cdpe-now.html

I heard that we will need certification in order to do the short sales in the future.

Hi Tim, Yes, I heard the same but even if we are not required to have the certification, it really is a great one to have. Our instructor was wonderful and we learned so much it was worth every minute of my time and some. I have signed up for the Advanced CDPE and looking forward to keeping up with all the updates.
