“Historically, a percentage of the real estate market has consistently been in distress,” said Toth. “With the recent challenges in the subprime lending market, this percentage has grown exponentially. We feel it is important to acquire the specialized knowledge needed to assist home owners in need.”

Rapid growth in what once was a niche market requires agents to gain specialized knowledge and learn new processes that will allow them to successfully assist homeowners in need. The Distressed Property Institute provides the tools and information REALTORS® need to help distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure and move forward with their lives.

Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., said that Realtors such as Toth with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. These experts also may better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience, he said.



He suggested owners in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure, should seek out the services of a Distressed Property Expert get every option available to find the best solution for their situation.
