Scottsdale REALTOR, Gayle Henderson, (CDPE)Certified Distressed Property Expert  has been invited to share  Distressed Property Institute education with local Real Estate professionals.  Creating an industry network of REALTORS, Mortgage Brokers, Title and Escrow Officers, Attorneys , and Financial Planners trained in the ways and processes to avoid foreclosures in today’s market is a critical part of offering a solution to the current housing crises.

The Distressed Property Institute endorsement by RE/MAX International, Keller Williams and Star Power founder and national real estate trainer, Howard Brinton, continues to position the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation as the leading force in national short sale training.  The Institute recently invited a select group of their CDPE designees to Florida for an intensive two day training as part of their short sale trainer certification program.  “Combining both the knowledge of the short sale process and the current experiences of these leading real estate practitioners will give future short sale students a regional perspective of the housing market crisis.  “These seasoned speakers and active REALTORS will be a critical part of keeping up with the national demand for the CDPE training.”,  said Tony Martinez, Director of Training at the Institute.

According to Alex Charfen, Distressed Property Institute Founder, “The housing crisis recovery will take the cooperative efforts of all parts of the real estate industry.  We all need to believe we are on the same page to give hope and help to homeowners.   This is not going to happen overnight.  The sooner that lenders and real estate professionals from all specializations understand that together, we are working towards a common goal to stabilize our housing and financial markets, the sooner we can see our markets begin to recover.”

“Getting my designation as a Distressed Property Expert, CDPE, was only the beginning of my efforts to lend a helping hand to homeowners in financial distress, said Henderson, upon completion of the Trainers Course.  “There is huge power in numbers with a shared vision.  My commitment to give back to my community as a CDPE speaker sharing this information with others in my industry will hasten the housing market recovery.”

Thousands of homeowners have already been helped by the nearly 1500 current Institute members.  With a goal of 7500 members by the end of 2009, this organization will surely positively impact untold numbers of financially troubled homeowners.
