CDPE
The CDPE is the most important education a real estate professional can find for success in today's market.
With a growing nationwide network of real estate professionals-tens of thousands strong-the Certified Distressed Property Expert® (CDPE) Designation is changing the way new agents and industry veterans deal with the changing paradigm of success in the real estate industry. Measuring success now includes:
- Families saved;
- Foreclosures avoided;
- Neighborhoods spared; and
- The way real estate professionals are turning the tide of frustration and despair in the real estate industry.
CDPE and STAR POWER Star, Jeff Firnstahl, said:
“Knowing you have a chance to help homeowners who think there are no other options other than foreclosure is a life-changing experience for everyone involved.”
The CDPE is helping real estate agents become more relevant and profitable than ever. Through our two-day CDPE Live! events or Online Distance Learning courses, CDPEs have an understanding of the complex issues confronting distressed properties. CDPEs don't merely assist in buying and selling properties, they serve and help save their clients in need.
As part of the industry's leading short sale education organization, CDPEs have been successful in effectively and efficiently assisting hundreds of thousands of distressed homeowners nationwide. CDPE-designated agents typically list 7-times as many properties and close 5-times as many transactions as the average Realtor®. On average, CDPEs have also decreased their short sale processing time by 50%.
