Cindy Kipling, Realty Associates, Completes Prestigious CDPD Designation to Specialize in Real E

June 30, 2010 - PRLog -- The Short Sale of a property allows the distressed owner, through their Realtor, to find a buyer willing to purchase their home before they are forced into the foreclosure process. The owner can then use proceeds to repay their lender, even if the amount is less than what they actually owe on the property. In the current economy nearly all lenders are willing to consider Short Sales because they are less costly and time-consuming than foreclosures.  As millions of distressed home owners find themselves thrust in the foreclosure process, this expertise is invaluable.

“The Harris Real Estate University CDPD designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated Short Sales. In the Houston and surrounding suburbs, like Friendswood, League City, Pearland, and the Clear Lake area, almost 5000 homes are in some stage of foreclosure. The best action against foreclosure is Short Sale,” said Kipling.  “It is so rewarding to be able to help families save their homes from foreclosure.”

Tim and Julie Harris, founders of the Harris Real Estate University in Las Vegas, NV, said “Realtors such as Cindy Kipling, with the HREU CDPD designation have valuable training in Short Sales and can offer homeowners a better alternative to foreclosure, which inevitably destroys their credit rating and prevents them from having the ability to purchase a new home.  Through our in-depth training and continuous education programs, these agents are trained to aggressively seek sellers and buyers using our extensive marketing techniques.”

The Harris Real Estate University opened in 1998, and provides Distressed Property Agent training through webinars, teleseminars and teleconferencing. The HREU CDPD is the premier designation for Realtors who want to specialize in helping distressed home owners.  “Our goal is to prepare agents enrolled in the program for the increasingly competitive Short Sale market.  Our comprehensive Short Sale Certification gives them everything they need to gain an edge over other agents in their service areas,” Harris said.
