Great Blog and good qestions. I can tell you first hand that here in Colorado Springs we were forced into short sales as our foreclosure market continues to expand. I had listened to a conferene call with the CDPE institute and realized that we needed to have them come to our area. So I called Alex at the web site www.cdpenow.com and asked him if he could come out and give a seminar. No problem, he replied. So I helped advertise the seminar and the rest is history. Let me tell you what has heppened since. The CDPE agents that were certified there are now part of a group called CLICK CDPE. And we are organized and structured to the point that we are meeting with large lead generators regarding short sales. We no longer go out to get business. It all comes to us. Because we are CDPE and we are organized and we are presented as non-preditor realtors looking to help. We don't want commissions we want to help. We have set up monthly classes for the public to come and educate themselves on what to do to avoid foreclosure. We meet at the police sub stations around town. We meet weekly with lead generators. Lead generators are Banks, Consumer Credit Counseling programs, Refinancing instiutions, Loan institutions, and anywhere that might do financial counceling including insurance agents that sell life insurance. There is many people that are dong just fine with there finances but they just having a bad deal on the home issues. All of these lead generators are sending in leads to one number and one person who then sends that information out to a CDPE member. So far we at the beginning but we have been noticed by the state governement as an entity that may be able to help the state with a foreclosre hotline of sort that they currently have now but is overwelmed and not doing the same service we do.
So I think you would want to not only invest in youselves and get the CDPE certification but also consider the fact that the CDPE certification is nationally reconized. This is not just a deal where go to the class and you are done. The CDPE program is complete with submission packages and scripts. The feedback I got just last week was that the bank has said, we submitted more than what was required and so complete that they did not need to consider other action except accepance. They were so impressed with the CDPE package they wanted to know if they could copy the package and use it as their own package to send out for use with other short sales. Since it was copywritten I told them they could not. But see how impressive it is to have the CDPE and our clients are impressed with a Realtor that knows how to speak the language of the Mortgage company. I have personally been able to negotiate 2 loan modifiactions. No commissions but very happy clients and leads from those clients keep coming in every week. So you see the CDPE program is a very complete program and a serious one. Not a sign up and go away with a few pieces of paper trade show program, a real certified national program. I also have the CDPE insitute coming to Denver in September, if you want to take a little vacation. When we had them come to Colorado Springs last June, we had people coming from Texas, New Mexico and Florida just for the that event. So in my opion, I would not choose to go anyhere else but to the CDPE institute and then realize that this is just the beginning of a business dicispline that you can market and use in your Real Estate Career.
