Only 13% of Veterans use the
VA Loan Program!

Low Utilization Rate:

Despite the many advantages of VA loans, such as no down payment requirements and no private mortgage insurance, a significant number of veterans don't use them. 
 

Reasons for Not Using the Benefit:

A survey by Monica De La Cruz (.gov) found that over 33% of veterans cited a lack of awareness as the primary reason for not using the benefit. Other reasons include the belief that the process is too complicated or that lenders don't adequately explain the program.
 

Real Estate Agents' Role:

Far too often, myths and misconceptions surrounding VA loan financing prevent military home buyers from accessing one of their most powerful benefits. Many real estate agents lack the proper training to fully understand and communicate the true advantages of VA loans, leading to unnecessary obstacles, lost opportunities, and frustrated service members. Today’s agents must be better equipped with accurate knowledge, dispel misinformation, and confidently guide military clients through the VA loan process, ensuring they receive the homeownership opportunities they’ve earned through their service.

What is a MilRES Agent?

 

Veterans face several challenges when buying homes, including navigating the VA loan process, dealing with a competitive housing market, and addressing potential stigmas associated with VA loans. Misconceptions about VA loan requirements and appraisal processes can lead to sellers being hesitant to accept offers from veterans.

 

A Military Residential Specialist® (MilRES®) is a real estate professional with a specific understanding of these complex issues. They have a strong desire to serve those who served us. Through comprehensive training and experience, MilRES agents provide professional solutions for active military personnel, veterans, and retirees.


What is a CDPE?

 

A Certified Distressed Property Expert® is a real estate professional with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting the real estate industry, and the foreclosure avoidance options available to homeowners. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPEs are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing hardships in today’s market, specifically short sales.

 

The prospect of foreclosure can be financially and emotionally devastating, and often homeowners proceed without guidance of any kind. The developers of the CDPE Designation believe that the best course of action for a homeowner in distress is to speak with a well-informed, licensed real estate professional. They have the tools needed to help homeowners find the best solution for their situation. Often, when other options have been exhausted, CDPEs can help homeowners avoid foreclosure through the efficient execution of a short sale.
