I’m Now A Certified Distressed Property Expert CDPE
Livermore Realtor Ellen Bettencourt is pleased to announce that she has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, making her an extensively trained Realtor in foreclosure avoidance and short sales.
During her focused training, Ellen received specific understanding of the complex issues that surround today’s real estate market. Those trained to be a Certified Distressed Property Expert are able to provide solutions for homeowners who are facing real estate hardships.
Making the choice to foreclose (or not foreclose) on a home is emotionally and financially draining for the homeowner, and more often than not they go through the process without the proper guidance. This most certainly creates more problems than it solves.
Certified Distressed Property Experts believe that the best course of action for homeowners facing foreclosure is for them to speak with a well informed and highly trained licensed Realtor who has the right tools and skills to help find the best solution for the homeowner’s specific situation.
Often times this means helping distressed homeowners avoid a credit-crushing foreclosure through a properly executed short sale. Short sales allow the homeowner to repay their mortgage at the price the home sells for, even when it is less than what is owed on the property.
Although more and more lenders are now willing to consider short sales over foreclosures, the short sale process is still quite confusing and hard to navigate. Selecting a Realtor who is a Certified Distressed Property Expert ensures the homeowner that they are working with a real estate professional who has been properly trained to aide in the short sale process.
As of March 2010, CDPE has 20,068 members, and Ellen Bettencourt is now one of them.
If you’re facing foreclosure and want to do your best to avoid it, call Ellen today at (925) 899-0800.
