Keller Williams On The Water Agent Earns New Designation
Greg Owens With Keller Williams On The Water CDPE Certified.
Keller Williams On The Water ‘s Greg Owens has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert ® (CDPE) designation. The designation requires completing extensive training in foreclosure avoidance, with a particular emphasis on short sales. At a time when millions of homeowners are struggling with the possibility of foreclosure, the skill and education accumulated by Owens will help benefit Sarasota and Manatee area residents.
“The ever changing rules for distress sales means taking courses like CDPE ensures Realtors are ready and knowledgeable to assist their clients,” said Owens.
Today, more than 13 percent of homeowners are delinquent on their mortgage or in the foreclosure process. This is occurring across all price ranges, and the fastest-growing category of homes in foreclosure is the luxury home market.
Alex Charfen, co-founder and the CEO of the Distressed Property Institute in Austin, Texas, said agents such as Owens with the CDPE Designation have valuable perspective on the market and training in short sales that offer homeowners real alternatives to foreclosure, which can be devastating to credit ratings.
“These agents better understand market conditions than the average agent, and can help sellers through the complications of foreclosure avoidance,” Charfen said.
