We are now Certified Distressed Property Experts®
A sign of the times? Certified Distressed Property Expert©… everyone said it would never happen in Bellevue or Seattle.
But as the wave of real estate bad news scatters across our country — it was bound to catch up to us.
I have been amazed at the amount of ‘Short Sales’, Distressed Properties and Foreclosures that are now showing up in our neighborhoods throughout Bellevue, Seattle and the Eastside.
This ‘current real estate market’ is something we have never seen here before and it’s disturbing to see.

In order to keep ahead of this ever-changing market I have recently obtained my designation to become a Certified Distressed Property Expert©. I was also joined in this course by one of my top Brazen Sotheby’s Sales Associates, Cindy Paur.
Now, with our Worldwide Marketing of Sotheby’s International Realty and our recent CDPE designation, we have positioned our company to be at the forefront of this ever changing real estate landscape. The best of both worlds. The ying and the yang. The good and bad of real estate. Most important the sellers today need the best agent and company to help them…an expert in marketing and someone who is on top of our local market.

If you know of someone who needs help with any of the above… please pass this along.
This is unchartered territory for most of us, the weirdest thing I have seen in my 30+ years of selling residential real estate. So I wanted to be prepared.
These issues are appearing in all price ranges… from $500,000 to (I just saw a short sale for) $2.9 million… with Sellers and Buyers in every neighborhood. An important thing I learned is to “stay out of judgement”…”sometimes bad things do happen to good people”.
This was the first time this designation was offered in the state of Washington, I was one of 32 Realtors who attended this very first class in Washington, and was certified along with Cindy. So we’re here to help!
Local Knowledge – Worldwide Reach.
