Teresa Dietrich, real estate agent and CDPE, of Nevada County Realty & Community Realty Services announced today that they are now among an elite group of over 40,000 national CDPE trained professionals helping local local homeowners avoid foreclosure via short sales.

 

In a short sale transaction, the lien holder accepts the selling price of the home, even if that amount is less than (“short” of) the borrower’s mortgage balance. This option is less harmful to a homeowner’s credit score, does not challenge employment or security clearance, and allows the seller to be eligible for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac backed loans sooner than a foreclosure.

 

The CDPE designation, offered by the Charfen Institute, is the fastest-growing independent designation in real estate industry history. Dietrich has been a CDPE since September and a HAFA & SFR certified Realtor for several years.

 

“On average, our CDPE trained real estate agents go on to help more than 7.5 families avoid foreclosure in the 12 months following the completion of their CDPE Designation,” said Alex Charfen, CEO of the Charfen Institute and author of the CDPE course.

 

“Helping home owners avoid foreclosure is the first step in stabilizing our real estate Market.” states Dietrich, who has a 100% pull through rate on short sales.
