Tucson, AZ. Vito Teti, the leading real estate agent and distressed property specialist serving the Tucson Arizona area, today presented his 2009 year-end real estate wrap up as well as his forecast of the local market for the coming year. Despite the overall downturn in the national economy, Teti sees that the real estate market in Tucson is in the process of rebounding, and foresees many new opportunities for investors who have shied away from purchasing properties during this difficult period.

In order to stay the course, Teti pursued an active strategy to enhance his services and implement new strategies to tackle the changing market conditions. After extensive training in 2009, he received his designation as a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) in order to provide better guidance regarding Tucson Short Sales, REO properties and foreclosures. Buyers benefit from expert advice that can identify and secure the best properties in these categories – but even more importantly, current homeowners in distress can enlist Teti in order to successfully avoid the worst ramifications of foreclosure.

The result has been impressive. Since completing his CDPR training, Teti has already closed 12 short sale transactions – proving his ability to manage the frequently tricky negotiations between lenders, homeowners and buyers. By viewing his website, VitoTucson.com, visitors can quickly see why – from the insightful information about distressed properties to the extensive listings of foreclosures for sale in Tucson he is clearly focused on building his knowledge and skills. Overall in 2009, Teti also sold 91 homes, which has propelled him to rank as the #9 real estate resale agent in Tucson.

These successes have allowed Teti to augment his own staff, which now includes 5 experienced professionals, 3 full time buyers agents and 2 transaction personnel, in order to ensure a smoother buying or selling experience.

Teti’s recent achievements as a Tucson Realtor® are a good indicator that the real estate market may indeed be recovering. For more information, visit www.vitotucson.com.
