Catherine Emert Teaches Tony Martinez How to Save Homes with Soda Cans

By Kerry ONeal

[Bend, Oregon] – [08/01/2023] – Strategic Realty, LLC proudly announces the remarkable story of Catherine Emert, one of their esteemed real estate professionals, whose compassion and innovation recently made a life-changing difference for a struggling homeowner. In an inspiring interview with Tony Martinez, owner of the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, Catherine shared her extraordinary experience in saving a home using an ingenious solution involving soda cans.

The heartwarming interview showcases Catherine’s unwavering commitment to her clients and her dedication to providing million-dollar service in every price range. Growing up in Oregon and serving nearly half the state, with a primary focus on the east side of the mountains, Catherine’s passion for real estate runs deep. Her motivation to become a Certified Distressed Property Expert stemmed from her family’s personal experience during the 2008 real estate crash, where they tragically lost their home. This pivotal moment ignited her determination to make a positive impact on others facing similar challenges.

During the interview, Catherine recounted the inspiring tale of a distressed homeowner who had lost hope after falling behind on mortgage payments following a devastating personal loss. Catherine’s resourcefulness came into play when she suggested an unconventional solution involving soda cans, as Oregon offers a deposit refund on beverage containers. Guiding the homeowner with a compassionate approach, she connected him with local churches and non-profit organizations and encouraged him to leverage the community’s support to overcome his financial difficulties.

Tony Martinez, impressed by Catherine’s exceptional work, remarked, “This is exactly what the CDPE stands for. We really, really want to help people stay in their homes. Every now and then, a story like this emerges, and it just gives me hope.” Catherine’s actions exemplify the core values of Strategic Realty, LLC, and the CDPE designation, demonstrating that real estate professionals have the potential to change lives and foster hope in the face of adversity.

“We’re not here to just sell people’s houses; we’re here to save them,” Catherine proudly stated. Her innovative approach and genuine care for her clients embody Strategic Realty’s vision of improving the real estate industry through technology integration and exceptional customer service.

Thinking About Selling This Fall? Five Reasons to Act NOW!

By Catherine

If you are considering selling your home you may be wondering why now would be the best time to list. Well here are some reasons why selling your home this fall makes the best sense!

Demand The latest information we have received from the National Association of Realtors tells us that the demand for housing is staying strong and the buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase…and the buyers are out hunting NOW! We are seeing more situations were buyers are looking at the same homes and competing with each other. Why not take advantage of this activity in our market?

Quicker Process With the amount of buyer competition, most will go out of their way to stand out in this market, including getting pre-approved which can make the process so much quicker as buyers already know exactly how much they will be approved for before they start shopping for a home. 

Less Competition With just over 3 months of residential inventory in Deschutes County your home will get noticed! There are simply not enough homes for sale for the buyers in our area! This is great news for homeowners thinking about selling. Don’t wait until everyone hears this news before you make your choice to list.

Looking To Upgrade? With home prices still high you may be able to sell your home and upgrade. There is more inventory in the higher price ranges and they tend to stay on the market longer, giving you time to sell your current home and get ready for the upgrade of your dreams.

Why Are You Wanting To Sell? Take a hard look at the reasons you may be considering selling your home. Is it worth waiting? You are the only person that can answer this question. If it’s time to sell, you can take control of your situation and call us today for a free Comparative Market Analysis. Strategic Realty, LLC has the knowledge, experience and determination to get you the best price on your home in our current market. Call us today for more information 541-595-8444.
