MARZENA MELBY EARNS Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) Designation To Help Homeowners In Danger Of Foreclosure. CDPE Designation is Recognized Nationally.

MARZENA MELBY of COUNSELOR REALTY, INC, 7250 France Ave S, Ste. 300, Minneapolis, MN 55435 has earned the highly regarded in real estate community Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure and short sales. This invaluable knowledge and training enables Marzena Melby to offer help for homeowners in a financial hardship.

Short sales allow a cash-strapped seller to sell their home for its current market value and payoff the mortgage even though it maybe lees than the current balance. With property values being significantly down, around 20-25%, this can save many people from foreclosure. Lenders nationwide are willing to negotiate short sales because that makes financial sense. Acquiring a property, maintaining it and having to resell it at a deep discount is a lot more costly. Twin Cities area has seen a slight drop in foreclosures due to lender, SEVERAL THOUSAND homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges.

"I have helped several homeowners in a foreclosure situation to successfully sell their home and move on in their lives. The additional knowledge and resources that come with this designation have enabled me to be more efficient and creative in looking for available options, therefore to help more families" said Melby. "Expertise I acquired through this course allows me better understand changing market conditions and help families get through this emotionally charged difficult process."

The Distressed Property Institute provides extensive training and resources for real estate professionals nationwide through live and online training.

Alex Chafren, the Institute founder said: "Certified Distressed Property Experts fully understand that saving a home can save a life, which can save a family, which can save a future." They are helping America get through the crisis one family at a time.

Wordless Sunday: Bumble Bee in Crabapple Tree... by Twin Cities Homes for Sale

Inspired by beautiful spring photo by Teri Eckholm, I brought my camera with me today. Before I started my open house, I looked around for nature photo opps. This is what I found:

Happy Mother's Day... by Twin Cities Homes for Sale

Happy Mother's Day...

I dedicate this poem to all moms: may your day be filled with sunshine and plenty of smiles.

Baby

Before I was a Mom

Author - Unknown,

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.

Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.


I never knew that
something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
