Carolyn Capalbo – Certified Distressed Property Expert

In the recent years, the United States economy had encountered some of the worst situations, particularly in the housing market. Thousands of Americans lost their homes due to foreclosures. Some just gave up their homes without a fight, thinking that since they couldn't pay the mortgage, they might as well just leave.

To help people with such financial and emotional burden, real estate agents just like Carolyn Capalbo have undergone training and certification as certified distressed property experts. It aims to equip real estate agents with the knowledge on how to properly and more effectively help people with their mortgage and home selling problems.

When everything seems bleak for the homeowner and foreclosure is imminent, a Certified Distressed Property Expert will pull all the stops and use all her knowledge of the ever-changing housing market to get the best deal for her client. Because it is not merely getting the house sold before it gets foreclosed, but realtors like Carolyn Capalbo will help best address the issue and give the best deal and the fairest transaction for the homeowner.

Not all real estate agents are the same, especially compared to someone like Carolyn Capalbo. Being a Certified Distressed Property Expert, Carolyn has the extensive knowledge, knows all the options and solutions, and the most effective methods to assist homeowners during such difficult times as facing a foreclosure before they could even sell their homes.

“This CDPE designation is invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales,” said Carolyn Capalbo.  “It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure.  One of the most frustrating things I see is that so many families have gone through foreclosure without trying to find another alternative.  I want to help educate distressed homeowners and prevent as many of these foreclosures as possible.”
