Kathy Dyer EARNS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNATION

TO HELP HOMEOWNERS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE Kathy Dyer of Keller Williams Realty Roseville, has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales.

This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by “distressed” homes in the foreclosure process. Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy.

More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.

In Roseville Ca area, more than 1,611 homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges. Local experts say that even high-priced homes are not immune.

“This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales,” said Dyer. “It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure.” Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., said that Realtors® such as Kathy with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. These experts also may better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience, he said.

The Distressed Property Institute opened in January 2008 and provides training on-site and online. The CDPE is the premier designation for Realtors helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales. “Our goal is to educate as many people as possible so we can help as many homeowners as possible,” Charfen said.

Dryer vent cleaning promotes proper air-flow, improves the efficiency of your clothes dryer and prevents dryer fires

Roseville, CA - Gina Fazil is the franchise owner/operator of Dryer Vent Wizard of Sacramento, CA. Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in dryer fire prevention and "urgent response" dryer and vent maintenance, repair, replacement and alterations. DVW services keep dryers functioning properly, prevent dryer fires and reduce energy costs.

Since purchasing her franchise in 2006, Gina has had many clients who have considered replacing their clothes dryer because they thought it was old and worn out. "They noticed their dryer taking several cycles to properly dry their laundry and they don't realize that lack of air-flow is the likely cause," said Gina. "When air flow is restricted the moist heat cannot escape the dryer drum; therefore, it would make sense that the clothes would not dry."

Gina explains this to all her customers as she provides dryer exhaust service, dryer vent cleaning and repairs to optimize the efficiency a dryer vent system. "Some dryer exhaust ducts are short and straight; therefore, easy for the homeowner to get to. Others are much longer, depending on where the laundry room is located. A professional who specializes in dryer vent cleaning will have the tools needed to do the job.

Professional dryer vent cleaning is recommended at least once a year to prevent fires, extend the life of your dryer and help save on energy costs. This said the fee for the service is well worth the savings it promotes in the long-run.
