Discover Alternatives To Foreclosure

Aug. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Trumbull, CT – 8/19/2009 – John McBride and Diane Tantimonico of RE/MAX Right Choice in Trumbull have earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert® (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. At a time when millions of homeowners are struggling with the possibility of foreclosure, the skills and education accumulated by John and Diane will help benefit all area communities.

Short sales allow the distressed homeowner to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even if it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.

In the surrounding areas, hundreds of homes are in danger of foreclosure. It is happening across all price ranges, and the fastest-growing category of homes entering foreclosure is luxury homes in excess of $1 million.

“The CDPE designation has been invaluable as we work with homeowners and lenders on complicated short sales,” said McBride. “It is rewarding to be able to help families save their homes from foreclosure.”

“We are all facing tough times,” said Tantimonico. “The reality is, you or someone you know may be confronted with a true hardship that makes the future seem uncertain. Don’t let the possibility of foreclosure be a means for panic. There are better paths… we can help you find the best path for you and your family.”

Alex Charfen, co-founder and CEO of the Distressed Property Institute in Austin, Texas, said that agents such as John and Diane; with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which can virtually destroy a credit rating. “These experts also better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience,” he said.
