CDPE Designation - I'm Now Certified
OK, what the heck is a CDPE? It's a Certified Distressed Property Expert, and I finished the course today. Read all about the Distressed Property Institute and what they hope to accomplish at their web site. I decided since I've been helping so many buyers and sellers the last couple of years with short sales, buying pre-foreclosures, negotiating purchases with banks, selling as a pre-foreclosure and avoiding foreclosure - the whole morass homeowners have faced since the peak in 2005 - I should get all the training I can to better serve my clients. So I studied for and earned the CDPE designation.
Here is how the Institute explains the certification:
The Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation is the course that provides the agent with everything they need to assist these homeowners.
The course covers the following:
- Entering the Distressed Property Market
- Foreclosure
- Short Sales Explained
- Short Sale Process
- Selling Against and Working with Investors
- Building your Business
- Putting It All Together
Along with a certificate, I have access - through the Institute - to their Field Guide, checklists, forms, flow charts, sample short sale package, and the right to market myself as a Certified Distressed Propery Expert.
