Leslie Ford of Remax Island Realty has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by “distressed” homes in the foreclosure process.
Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though 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 Hilton Head area area, numerous homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges. Local experts say that even high-priced homes are not immune.
“This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales,” said Ford. “It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure.”
