Certified Distressed Property Expert - You Gotta Get This!



Alex Charfen founder of the Certified Distressed Property Expert organization is rock'n and a rollin with the CDPE course that are all over the United States. All you need to do is to find a location and attend the two day event. If you cannot travel to the course then you have the option of attending it online. But being at the course you will walk away with so much more knowledge and meet some great people who all have the common goal and that is to help our neighbors, friends, family and new friends to know there are solutions and options regarding foreclosure.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alex at the 2009 STAR POWER Conference in Denver this past July and I was very impressed with his dedication, not to mention his wonderful smile. Tee Hee! Anyway, I was happy to hear they moved their headquarters to Austin, Texas recently, which I then saw on the tour schedule Austin will be holding a CDPE class and I am going.

Now you are probably wondering why would Kim Hughes a Real Estate Virtual Assistant needs to invest in the CDPE? Right now homeowner's need all the help they can get to resolve their foreclosure issues and by having this designation I can help my clients achieve their goals, which is to help today's homeowner's find a solution to their foreclosure crises. When you earn the designation of a CDPE you have so much given to you to market yourself as well as information to ensure you have the tools to successfully help resolve the problems.

Agent's today need to take advantage of the tools offered by the CDPE organization, which below is just a couple of things you need:

Set-up and manage their micro-site
Prepare and submit press releases
Incorporating the CDPE information to their website and marketing material

Today, the CDPE offers a micro-site for those that want to go a step further with their designation to become and Advanced CDPE, then there is RealPro Systems that offers Foreclosure and Short Sale Stealth Sites not to mention custom pages that you can add your own content regarding foreclosures and short sales. Pro Step Marketing recently got on the board to offer stealth site on the same.

Agents now have options on where they feel they will receive the most exposure and they do not have time to create the content, submit the sites to the search engines, etc., not to mention the marketing strategy that needs to be implemented. So, by attending the class I will gain the knowledge on the best way to assist my clients achieve their goals and that is to dedicate themselves in helping homeowner's resolve their current situation so they can relax and get their lives back track and start focusing on what it really important and that is their life and family.
