JUSTIN CRUZ EARNS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNATION TO HELP HOMEOWNERS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE

Justin Cruz of Remax Voyage 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 the Bronx area, more than 100s 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 REALTOR LAST NAME. “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 Justin Cruz 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.

  • For lenders, foreclosure is the last resort- one they wish to avoid if all possible.
  • They may be open to others options- ones that can help you avoid foreclousure and the drastic effect on your credit.
  • Options include modifying the loan to make it affordable, or a short sale, where the lender approves the sale of your home for less than the balance of the loan. This can have far less of an impact than a forecloure on your credit.

When does a Realtor need to look in the mirror?

Justin Cruz

As many realtors know, this business is not easy. I see realtors come and go all the time, most of them dont last long enough to even get the chance to look at themselves as the problem. Usually if an agent makes it past the first year making only little money they most times blame the office and try to change offices as if to make more money. When they find out that wasn't the answer they still dont look at themselves, next it is the market or leads or timing. This business sure is tough but the answer I think is always right in front of our faces. It's us, you and me. A good look at our selves in the mirror can actually get our business full steam ahead. Just do it.
