All Florida GMAC Real Estate is proud to announce that thirty Sales Partners have earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by “distressed” homes in the foreclosure process.  Since Realtors® need to become catalysts for change in the down trodden real estate market by helping homeowners avoid foreclosure, David Bessette CDPE, CRB, and Broker/Owner of All Florida GMAC Real Estate has encouraged all  sales partners to attend the two day course.    Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures. “The CDPE designation will be invaluable for our agents as they work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales”, quoted Elizabeth Ruvo CDPE, CRB and State Sales Division Manger, who trains and assists the sales associates with their contracts.   All Florida GMAC Real Estate is a Premier Service Diamond office with offices in Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, Melbourne, Daytona, Ocala and Port Charlotte.   The following sales partners are now certified and ready to help all consumers who may be facing foreclosure :  Port St. Lucie (772–335-1995) - Charlie Bunten, Rosemarie Cannillo, Sara Dale, Gina DeLisa, Joann De Rosa, Lois Groff, Matt Harrington, Julie Hasenhuettl, Cristy Hernandez, Bob Lages, Pam Misiano, Barbara McMillan, Michele Payuk, Cathy Prisco, Chris Prisco, Jim Smolinsky, Rosa Vargas, Craig Wallengren, and Rose Marie Williams.   Vero  (772-567-5226) - Mark Fields, Jim Goldsmith, Rupa Patel, Jonathan Rexford, Lesa Talbott,  Melissa Traveny, and Michelle Turner.  Melbourne  (321-724-9500) -  Terry Pate  Daytona (386-760-6000) - Rhonda Belcher, Jessica Morford                                                                                                                                                                                     Ocala (352-624-9300) -  Courtney Moody  Visit www.AllFloridaRealty.com for more information on the company or to see their listings.   For more information on short sales visit www.StressFreeShortSales.com
