Do all banks require short sales to be listed with a Realtor before they will consider your offer?

- CDPE means nothing to a lender.  It's just a 'training' in business to make money for the 'designation'.

- Short Sales do not 'always' need to be listed to be considered.  Each lender has their own guidelines.  The best practice is to list for a minimum of 5 days including 1 weekend.  This will satisfy Fannie Mae and just about every lender.
