With the challenges that we are experiencing in our current real estate market, now more than ever, it is imperative that we, the real estate professionals, come together and do our part to protect real estate values and reduce the number of homeowners who are unnecessarily losing their homes to foreclosure. Collectively, we have both an enormous responsibility, as well as an extraordinary opportunity, to make a powerful and far-reaching difference in our respective communities and our national economy.

How is the CDRS Certification Program different from other Short Sale Certification Programs on the market today?
Anytime there is a "hot topic", there are always lots of self-proclaimed gurus who want to "exploit the moment" and hop on that topic. Unfortunately, when it comes to the topic of Short Sales, we've seen far too much of this, which has left our industry terribly confused, misinformed and misguided. The much greater tragedy is that far too many homeowners are unnecessarily ending up in foreclosure at the hands of Agents who simply have not had the proper training to facilitate these transactions. If you are not running at least an 85% closing ratio on your Short Sales, chances are you haven't received the right education.
When choosing your Short Sale training provider, make sure that the course providers have years of personal experience in-the-trenches closing Short Sales themselves... coupled with a genuine desire to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, not just make a buck. To be successful in this market and represent your clients well, you need to be equipped with no-fluff, substantive, nuts-and-bolts training and resources... not watered-down misinformation that leaves you not knowing what you don't know.
At America's Home Rescue, while we certainly stay abreast of what is being offered throughout the industry, we do not spend much time investigating and comparing other programs. Instead, drawing from our own 8+ years in-the-trenches working Short Sales ourselves and staying on-the-frontlines in this ever-changing environment, our focus is to constantly innovate and provide the most advanced training, resources and support, so that our Agents are equipped to properly serve the homeowners throughout their communities. Since early 2006, we have trained and mentored over 40,000 Agents nationwide, many who had previously gone through other training and certification programs and, hands-down, they all continue to agree that the CDRS Certification Program is by far the best and most advanced Short Sale Certification Program on the market today.
