Short Sales: I’m Certified By the CDPE to Help You Through The Process

Short sales are affecting all price ranges these days and not just the first time home buyer or lower end market.  Luxury homes are now feeling the pinch of the economy as money is tight for everybody.  According to a recent survey, one out of every seven mortgages is in trouble.  So, if you are doing ok, look around at the homes on your street and you will find several of your neighbors facing difficulty in paying their mortgage.

With that in mind, the CDPE, or certified distressed property experts as I’ll call it, is out there to help homeowners in all price ranges complete a short sale instead of having to face foreclosure.  I am certified in this process, which means I can handle regular listings and sales as well as short sales from both sides (buyer or seller).  This means that I have training that a normal agent doesn’t to help increase the chances of getting a short sale through.  The standard non trained agent succeeds in a short sale about 15% of the time, while a CDPE certified agent has a 85% success rate.  A big difference as short sales are full of emotion and having to deal with the failure of a short sale can be  another traumatic event in a sellers life.

So, even if you have a luxury home in Menlo Park or Atherton or Palo Alto, there is a chance you will need my services to help you with a short sale.  If you need more information about short sales and to find out if it’s right for you, give me a call or send me an email.
