CAROL MCDONALD MACRI EARNS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNATION TO HELP
HOMEOWNERS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE
Carol McDonald Macri, Team Leader of The Solutions Team at RE/MAX
Encore has earned the prestigious 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 Middlesex County 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.
“This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers
and lenders on complicated short sales,” said McDonald. “It is so
rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from
foreclosure.”
Alex Charfen,
founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla.,
said that Realtors® such as Carol McDonald Macri 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 better understand
market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional
experience, he said.
The Distressed
Property Institute opened in January 2008 and provides training
on-site and online. The CDPE is the premier designation for Realtors
helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales.
“Our goal is
to educate as many people as possible so we can help as many
homeowners as possible,” Charfen said. For more information, please
