Pamela Mello of Country Ranch Realty has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert designation, (CDPE). Having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and Short Sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area of Bullhead City and Fort Mohave Arizona is ravaged by “distressed” homes in the foreclosure process. 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 foreclosure.

In the Bullhead City area, More than 500 homes are in danger of Foreclosure. It is happening in all price ranges. This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated Short Sales. It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure. This training can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. I can also better understand market conditions and help sellers through the emotional experience. There are no hidden fees: as the Short Sale services are included when you list your home with me Pamela Mello. Let me negotiate with the bank for you. Selling your home through a Short Sale doesn’t need to be shameful, life-ruining experience. Sometimes Short Selling your mortgage simply makes smart economical sense, especially for homeowners who find themselves “upside down” that is, they owe more on their mortgage than their house is worth.
