Certified Default Resolution Specialist (CDRS™)

Offered by America's Home Rescue (2008/2009 NAR Event Speakers and Panelists)

Regardless of how much Short Sale education you may have, or what certification you have obtained, America's Home Rescue (AHR), who has been on the front lines training Realtors across America for the past 4 years, has experienced first-hand that most Realtors^® don't have the full story when it comes to Short Sales.  A senior representative of NAR's education committee was sent to Austin, Texas to audit AHR's 3-hour course curriculum, which makes up 1/4 of the CDRS™ course curriculum, and concluded that, hands down, this is a "mind-blowing" translation of what Realtors^® not only need to know about Short Sales, but, more specifically, how to walk "left foot-right foot" through their transactions.  This is, in fact, the key missing element with over 95% of the Short Sale education and training that exists.  Without this information, Realtors have the tendency to walk blind in their Short Sale transactions, yet most Realtors^® don't even realize it, because they didn't know, until now, that this type of training exists.  This is precisely one of the reasons why NAR has invited America's Home Rescue back numerous times to speak to the Realtor^® members at both the NAR Annual and Mid-Year Conferences.

The CDRS™ Certification Program, while not an NAR designation, is truly the first pre-foreclosure (Short Sale) certification program in the industry that recognizes 3 unique levels of experience, while equipping the Realtor^® with the most advanced Short Sale education there is available.  The content is so refreshing, yet so powerful, and the depth for which the Realtors^® learn to facilitate Short Sales, either as a Listing, or Buyer's Agent, is certainly turning the heads of leaders within some of America's largest brokerages.  So, why is the content so powerful and useful in today's market?  It's because AHR, a team of licensed Realtors, positioned themselves in building a business in Short Sales, long before what our country is currently experiencing today.  Unlike many Realtors^® , who lived in areas that experienced unsustainable appreciation, AHR, located in Austin, Texas, a high-tech Mecca, experienced a massive collapse in their market, following 9/11 and the fallout of the high-tech market in the early 2000's, while the majority of the United States and individual real estate markets were on the rise.  What does this mean?  It means that AHR was forced to learn how to build a Short Sale business and learn how to develop the systems and processes, necessary to have the best chance of closing the very next deal.  By becoming a CDRS™, you are capitalizing on what AHR has built over many years of hard work.

So, why is the CDRS™ Designation so powerful and why does it leave the Realtor's mind literally spinning?  First of all, it's not false hope.  It's very real education, based on many rigorous years on practical experience, being taught by Realtors®, for Realtors®.  In fact, interestingly, most of your self-proclaimed Short Sale gurus come from a geographical location where the majority of homeowners purchased homes with conventional financing (Jumbo Loans), or 80/20 loans, and not FHA and VA financing.  Working and knowing how to do conventional Short Sales, especially 80/20 loans, is only one part of the equation and, in fact, many Realtors are shorting the wrong lender first in an 80/20 scenario.  Many of the homeowners facing foreclosure across our country currently have FHA and/or VA financing, which translates into a new set of required knowledge and skill for facilitating these loan-specific Short Sale transactions, unlike Conventional Short Sales.  It's been proven that the content presented by the training team at America's Home Rescue is being taught nowhere else in the country and is a fascinating and refreshing new perspective that comes from nearly 7 years of "in-the-trenches" experience, learning from losing way too many commissions, wasting way too many hours on each transaction, and ONLY after having worked too much in their Short Sale business, not on it!  Please do not be foolish.  CDRS™ is the real thing.  It exists because the moment you learn and experience what America's Home Rescue has to offer, you'll get it and you'll be able to instantly apply the techniques you learn, thus increasing your closing ratios, and, more importantly, reducing your stress and frustration in the transaction.  If you're not enjoying your business, you'll probably burn out.  If you don't have the right systems, tools, and processes in Short Sales, you'll probably burn out.  This is a big market with big opportunities to help guide hundreds of thousands of homeowners away from the devastation of foreclosure.  You're most successful entrepreneurs have built their business in what too many usually consider to be too challenging of a market!  You must be and act like an entrepreneur.  Be smart.  Be intelligent.  Be successful!  Work on your business, not in it!  Get your CDRS™ Certification.  Everything else will follow.

Please ask yourself the following questions.

• How do you know for sure you're next Short Sale is going to close and why?
• Did you know that going active too soon on MLS on your Short Sale listing may be the primary source of your frustration, not the bank? 
• Are you in a state of wishful thinking in your Short Sale transactions?   
• What about the offers you're submitting?  Are you positive they will be accepted, or are you keeping your fingers crossed? 
• What about the investors who are trying to flip, or get a good deal, and are sending you offers that will never be accepted by the lender?  The very deal you're being pulled into might be considered by many to be borderline fraudulent and you don't even know it.

95% of Realtors® across America know very little about the Short Sale process, how to protect their time, their client's time, and particularly the direct translation of how they should be facilitating the transaction, either from a Listing, or Buyer's Agent's perspective.  For instance, most Realtors® go Active in MLS way to too soon on their Short Sale listings, causing them unnecessary frustration. They might not even realize that making their property available to the public, prematurely, is leading to most of their obstacles and frustration in their transactions.  Interesting, isn't it?

It's time to do something about it.  You owe it to yourself, a Realtor®, an Entrepreneur, to be equipped with the right education and knowledge.  You must trust and learn from a well-known organization that continues to attract the attention of senior members of the National Association of Realtors, several national brokerages, local and national governments, and, most important of all, homeowners who need your guidance and support.  Act now.  You won't be dissapointed, guaranteed!
