Millions of U.S. homeowners are in need of real solutions. With our industry vision and agent education, Green Realty looks forward to our continued work to help alleviate the current South Florida foreclosure crisis. Green Realty has announced their goal to have ALL of their agents earn the Certified Distressed Property Expert® (CDPE) designation. In March 2009, Green Realty Broker and Owner Patty DaSilva ambitiously promised that all Green Realty agents would be in line to earn the CDPE designation in an effort to help stem the rising tide of foreclosures by the end of the year. Fifty percent of Green Realty agents have met that goal, and now Green Realty is promising to sponsor all of their agents who register to become CDPE’s! Patty DaSilva states, “Green Realty is aiming to sponsor 100% of all Green Realty agents in the next year.”

“After earning the designation myself, I quickly realized that CDPE training equips our agents with the skills they need to help homeowners facing foreclosure; in fact, agent surveys prove that’s the case,” DaSilva said. “CDPE training is invaluable in this marketplace and has provided the skills and resources that have made many agents successful during a difficult time.”

“This promise is recognition of the dedication Green Realty has shown to the Davie, Cooper City, Southwest Ranches and Plantation real estate industry, and also to their agents’ knowledge base,” Christopher Green, Manager and Marketing Director of Green Realty, said. Chris continues, “Millions of U.S. homeowners are in need of real solutions. With our industry vision and agent education, Green Realty looks forward to our continued work to help alleviate the current South Florida foreclosure crisis.”

The CDPE designation trains agents in foreclosure-avoidance alternatives, including short sales. A short sale is a real estate transaction in which a home is sold for less than the amount owed on the mortgage. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National Delinquency Survey, 15% of all U.S. mortgages in the fourth quarter of 2009 were either delinquent or in the foreclosure process ; this translates to approximately 1 in 6 homeowners nationwide facing financial hardships.
