WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Across the globe,
the recession caught many people unawares and unprepared for financial
disaster. Indequete savings and overspending caught up with South
Africa as it did with the rest of the world and today, we all know
someone who has lost their home or is facing financial difficulty.
The first step to avoid repossession and a judgment against your name is to contact me - the sooner the better. As an agency that has members who have completed Distressed Property training, we are equipped to provide you with the best solutions possible if you are in arrears with your bank.
At the end of Setember 2010, Credit Bureaus had records for 18.35 million credit active consumers of which 53.7% were classified as in good standing per the National Credit Regulators report. This is a slight improvement from 2007 but there are still 8.49 Mil consumers with impaired credit records. Currently there are more than 120 000 families in distressed situations in South Africa
Many homowners are doing their best to hold on but continued economic pressure are leaving them desperate for alternatives. It is anticipated that 30% of all sales over the next three years could be distressed sales. It is light of this scenario that it has become important for agents to equip themselves to deal professionally and compassionatley with this client sector.
WHAT IS THE COURSE?
The original course and designation were developed by the Distressed Property Institute LLC, who are widely recognised as leaders in their field and have been offering the certification for three years in Canada and the USA. Fortunately, although limited in availability, I have had the opportunity to attend this course and become certified.
I am one of the very small number of agents in the country which have now undergone this training and proudly carry the designation CDPE - Just one more way we constantly stay ahead of the rest.
The course focuses on the various options that the professionally trained estate agent can offer homeowners that find themselves in a distressed situation.
WHAT IS A CDPE? Top
It means the agent who carries the designation is exactly that - a Certified Distressed Property Expert. Someone, more than capable of helping analyse your situation and provide you with alternative options to solve your financial crisis with respect to your home.
A CDPE has a thorough understanding of the complex issues in todays turbulent real estate industry and can provide the solutions the home owner might be looking for. Homeowners regularly proceed wiuthout guidance, through the often financially and emotionally devastating prospect of losing their home. Speaking to a well informed, licenced real estate professional is the best course of action for a homeowner in distress.
Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPE's have the tools to help homeowners find the best solutions for their unique situations and to avoid their homes being repossesses by the bond holders, as well as the long term bad credit record that goes with it.
