Pro Step Marketing sponsors special CDPE & STAR POWER event

Pro Step Marketing will sponsor and attend the CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Experts) and STAR POWER Exclusive Event, set for February 18-20 at the Westin Tabor Center in Denver, Colorado. This special event is available to STAR POWER agents and guests who are looking to enter the CDPE designation program, which is the only short sale and foreclosure training endorsed by Howard Brinton.

The Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation (CDPE) is an indication that a REALTOR® has taken the initiative to become an educated and prepared advocate on the behalf of a homeowner in distress. Earned by completed detailed and thorough coursework via the Distressed Property Institute, real estate agents with the CDPE designation are armed with the necessary tools and information to help distressed property owners avoid foreclosure and continue their lives.

Pro Step Marketing, a real estate-focused marketing strategy, design and implementation firm, will also present a new short sale web system they’ve developed for agents looking to be branded as the foreclosure and short sale experts in their area and generate quality leads. Howard Brinton STAR POWER Star Linda Hall is one of the first agents to launch the new website, which features a short sale-targeted design, relevant content, free reports, email drip campaign, built-in blog and search engine-friendly platform. The website is also exclusive to one real estate professional in one specific area.

Tricia Andreassen, CEO and founder of Pro Step Marketing, said this exclusivity will be more effective for agents and brokers investing in the new website, so they can provide homeowners with better knowledge and support.
 
“I feel that it is important in today’s economic conditions for homeowners to know that they have options other than the foreclosure route,” said Andreassen. “Statistics show that 50% of homeowners facing this stressful situation often ignore the issue and that doesn’t have to be. There are options such as a short sale, especially if the homeowner works with an experienced REALTOR® to provide them assistance in showing the lender the hardship situation and other real estate documentation.”
