The Developers of the Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation (CDPE) believe that in almost all cases the best person for a homeowner in distress to speak with is a well informed Licensed Realtor® that has the tools needed to help that homeowner find the best solution for their situation.

Foreclosure is a devastating financial and emotional process for a homeowner to go through, and in many cases they do so alone and without help of any kind. Banks are more willing than ever to work with homeowners to avoid foreclosure, and speaking with a well informed Real Estate Professional is a smart decision.

Says Sean Carroll, "Sometimes, the best solution is a 'short sale' when the homeowner can sell the property and negotiate with their mortgage company to accept less than the full balance of the mortgage at closing. Short sales should be a last resort, but it can avoid a foreclosure in many instances. Short sales are becoming more common in Union County as falling home prices have led to market values dropping below mortgage balances in many cases."
