Just obtained my CDPE (Certified Distrssed Property Expert) certification.  With this designation I will be better able to assist sellers who have financial hardships.  It is expected that this designation will help to open door to some of the banks with the short sale.  For more information, please call (209) 479-6481 or email me at phoughtaling@norcalgold.com  I be more than happy to sit down with you and discuss all options that may be available to you in the current market.
