trustee (2)

I just completed a long sale, usually called a short sale (LOL) , as a listing agent that truly amazed me. I grew from hating the 1st TD holder to being grateful to them because they finally got things right. This 10 month ordeal began with 9  offers, where 8 buyers walked away, 7 times the trustee sale was postponed, 6 times the file was escalated, 5 weeks were wasted while the HOA board of directors debated if they should re-approve the condo building to be FHA approved (even though they knew my latest offer was FHA), 4 appraisals were done, 3 termite reports needed, 2 seller negotiators worked on the file, until 1 happy & mighty grateful seller avoided foreclosure! Just about everything that go could wrong, went wrong, except in the end, when we needed one more postponement to the trustee sale-we got it! The 7th! Thank you, CALHFA!

WHY ARE YOU WASTING YOUR MONEY ON OBTAINING CDPE DESIGNATION?

 

4359148099?profile=original I have registered in March of 2011 to obtain my Certified Distress Property Expert (CDPE) designation to further my education in real estate. I made this announcement on my weekly radio show last week. I want to show the public that I am an expert in distressed properties. However, obtaining my CDPE alone will not make me an expert.

 

I am dealing with distressed properties on a daily basis since I assist real estate investors to purchase from the Arizona Trustee Sales on a daily basis. My real estate investors expect a lot from me. I deliver on a daily basis to obtain investment properties at a great loan to value. Yes, there are times when people are still in the homes. How do you deal with that problem? Well, one must be able to communicate with another human being to commit to a move out date so the investor can renovate the property. I have never had a problem over the last four years.

 

I am looking forward to the CDPE class. I will be the first one to inform you that I do not know it all. So, I would like to accomplish three things from the class see below:

 

  1. New knowledge on distressed properties
  2. Network with other real estate professionals
  3. Obtain my CDPE designation

The CDPE designation will also show asset managers that I am an expert in distressed properties when obtaining listing assignments to move their inventory with the best methods in the industry. I am ready for the challenge at all times.
