What are Realtors saying about this course?
"The amount of NEW knowledge and resources now available to me as a CDRS is quite amazing. With 22 years experience under my belt, I can say with certainty that any licensed real estate agent dealing in this sector of the industry who is working without benefit of this dynamic training experience does so at the peril of his clients! His probability of a successful outcome MUST be diminished as he "learns the ropes" of this complex and time-sensitive process, fraught with "dead ends", "box canyons" and the most worrisome "learning experiences" I recommend American Home Rescue's "hands on" training to any responsible residential agent seeking to come to the aid of distressed homeowners in this challenging market."Carl Fischer, Broker/Owner, All The Best Real Estate
"CDPE & SFR. This course far exceeds the content of both the other courses! Excellent material and delivery! Essential information for any agent. Should be required before attempting to work with any seller facing foreclosure!"Walt Harvey
“I have done all the courses… CSP, SFR & CDPE. This was by far the best!”Jayne Sanders
