Sarah Case, Ed Evans, Robyn Graham, Kathy Hagin, Iliana Marroquin, and Jayne Willis completed extensive training and coursework to become certified as Distressed Property Experts (CDPE.)  Loan modification, deed in lieu, forbearance, short sale, bankruptcy, and foreclosure each have a different and significant impact on a homeowner’s credit, and income tax liability.  Sarah Case said, “Packaging the application in a way that paints a value picture of short selling, is crucial. If the lender can quickly see their benefit to taking a loss, the sale will close.”  “Organizing the package is the key to a successful and quick short sale” indicated Robyn Graham. Kathy Hagin said, “It is exciting to share with homeowners that there are alternatives to foreclosure.”

RE/MAX International views short sales as the next REO niche for agents. RE/MAX is promoting and underwriting the education cost. Iliana Marroquin commented “I now have knowledge and experience. I can offer solutions for homeowners in distress.” “This knowledge is making a difference in the lives and future of local families, indicated Jayne Willis.” Broker Ed Evans boasted, “With these agents, we now have 14 CDPE’s in the office.”  It is often possible to package and close a short sale before a foreclosure has been filed. This fast track alternative to bankruptcy and foreclosure has a lesser impact on the borrower’s credit.
