Davie, Florida -- Millions of U.S. homeowners are in need of
real solutions. With our industry vision and agent education, Green
Realty looks forward to our continued work to help alleviate the
current South Florida foreclosure crisis. Green Realty has announced
their goal to have ALL of their agents earn the Certified Distressed
Property Expert®
(CDPE) designation. In March 2009, Green Realty Broker and Owner Patty DaSilva
ambitiously promised that all Green Realty agents would be in line to earn the CDPE
designation in an effort to help stem the rising tide of foreclosures by the end of
the year. Fifty percent of Green Realty agents have met that goal, and now Green
Realty is promising to sponsor all of their agents who register to become CDPE's!
Patty DaSilva states, "Green Realty is aiming to sponsor 100% of all Green Realty
agents in the next year."
“After earning the designation myself, I quickly realized that CDPE training equips
our agents with the skills they need to help homeowners facing foreclosure; in fact,
agent surveys prove that’s the case,” DaSilva said. “CDPE training is invaluable in
this marketplace and has provided the skills and resources that have made many
agents successful during a difficult time.”
“This promise is recognition of the dedication Green Realty has shown to the Davie,
Cooper City, Southwest Ranches and Plantation real estate industry, and also to
their agents’ knowledge base,” Christopher Green, Manager and Marketing Director of
Green Realty, said. Chris continues, “Millions of U.S. homeowners are in need of
real solutions. With our industry vision and agent education, Green Realty looks
forward to our continued work to help alleviate the current South Florida
foreclosure crisis.”
The CDPE designation trains agents in foreclosure-avoidance alternatives, including
short sales. A short sale
is a real estate transaction in which a home is sold for less than the amount owed
on the mortgage. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National
Delinquency Survey, 15% of all U.S. mortgages in the fourth quarter of 2009 were
either delinquent or in the foreclosure process
; this translates to approximately 1 in 6 homeowners nationwide facing financial
hardships.
For homeowners who owe more on their mortgages
than what their houses are currently worth, a swiftly executed short sale is often
the best alternative to foreclosure. Agents with the Certified Distressed Property
Expert (CDPE) designation assist distressed sellers based on their individual needs,
which in turn contributes to their consistently higher success rates with short sale
transactions.
