    What is a CDPE?

    When your roofing needs to be replaced, you consult a roofing expert. When there's a problem with your computer, you consult a technician who understands the issues of your particular model. And when a loved one becomes sick, you seek answers from medical professionals specifically trained in that particular illness. Similarly, in this current economic crisis, millions of homeowners facing financial hardship and possible foreclosure action are requesting the help of agents with the Certified Distressed Property Expert® (CDPE) designation. A CDPE is a real estate professional with specific understanding of the complex issues that confront homeowners in distress. Through comprehensive training and market experience, CDPEs are able to provide real solutions for homeowners facing hardships in today's market.

    The prospect of foreclosure can be financially and emotionally devastating, and often homeowners proceed without guidance of any kind. CDPEs believe that in almost all cases, the best course of action for a homeowner in distress is to speak with a well-informed, licensed real estate professional. They have the tools necessary to help homeowners find the best solution for their particular situation. While enduring financial difficulties are challenging for any family, the process of finding a qualified real estate professional should not be. Linda Spears has achieved the CDPE designation, ensuring you deal with a professional trained to address your specific needs. CDPEs don't merely assist in selling properties, they serve and help save their clients in need.

    What is an e-PRO? Why Should You Use One?

    A short guide for the Internet consumer
    When you're on the Internet, you don't have time to waste on endless searches for useful real estate information. You want to get things done quickly and without hassle. So chances are you'd like a real estate agent who

  • Answers e-mail promptly and professionally.
  • Respects your on-line privacy.
  • Offers home listings and other Internet tools to help you find or market a home.
    Enter the e-PRO.
    An e-PRO is a REALTOR® who has successfully completed the e-PRO training program for real estate professionals. Endorsed by the National Association of REALTORS®, the e-PRO course teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of working with real estate on-line: Web sites, e-mail, on-line tools, and most of all, what today's consumer really wants.
    What does all this mean to you? There are several benefits of working with a certified Internet professional.
    More privacy
    Are you reluctant to give out contact information through the Web for fear of being pestered or spammed? e-PROs understand. They've learned the Web isn't just a place to do business; you need information from someone you can trust.
    That's why e-PROs respect your privacy. They respond quickly to your questions, but don't send you unwanted communication. And they protect your personal information.
    Less hassle
    Tired of struggling to find information? e-PROs are more likely to have access to the latest Internet utilities, making your life easier. These tools may include:
  • On-line home tours
  • Instant access to comprehensive neighborhood data
  • Extensive property listings
  • Immediate e-mail notification of just-listed homes meeting your criteria
  • Referral networks and on-line forums, where e-PROs can quickly find information--even potential buyers--from other e-PROs
  • Newsletters on current real estate conditions in your area
  • Electronic faxes sent to you by e-mail
  • Advanced software, PDAs, and laptops to find you answers on the spot
    The result: you get more information, more easily. With electronic files, you have less paperwork to deal with. And since your agent uses e-mail, you can even eliminate phone tag. The e-PRO streamlines your entire transaction, from showing to closing.
    Less expense
    An e-PRO's access to advanced technology can save you considerable expense. You have more tools to find or market your home, so you're likely to get a better price. With on-line home tours, you reduce in-person showings--and the costs involved. And by using e-mail, you save money on long-distance calls and fax charges.
    Relocating? An e-PRO is ideal for you. With the tools to do your research electronically, you can make a decision on a home the first day you're in town--or without traveling at all. You and your family save on travel costs. And after you've decided to buy, monitoring the sale by e-mail saves you even more.
    Should you use an e-PRO? Yes--especially if you're an Internet user. In this fast-paced age, technology has become a necessity. An e-PRO is someone who has recognized and responded to the needs of the new consumer. If you choose an e-PRO, it's a safe bet you'll get the kind of service you want--and need.
