Certified Distressed Property Experts

While many have already started their long weekend, one group of dedicated RE/MAX agents is just finishing up their final class for the Certified Distressed Property Expert course. Christina Lazrak, Ann Marie Duross, Deb Malone, John Bielefeld, Natasha Carter, Jon Crandall, Malcolm Fulford, Maria Silva, and owners Stacey Alcorn & Andrew Armata, just completed a three day program learning how to help homeowners who are in a distressed property situation. In today's market and economic climate as many as two out of every four home owners find themselves in a distressed real estate situation where they can no longer afford mortgage payments and/or they owe far more on their property then it's worth. The intense CDPE program detailed for these agents exactly how to work with lenders and home owners in order to successfully negotiate a short sale or help people modify their mortgage contracts. The lender short sale process is complicated, time consuming, and difficult to manage for those that have not participated in expert training. These agents are now poised to help the thousands of homeowners in our market who are in need of expert advise on how to successfully negotiate with lenders to get properties sold quickly and hassle free. Other agents who recently became Certified Distressed Property Experts include Kristen McKenna, Mary Alcorn, and Roger Martin.
