A Quick Fix for Drywall Discoloration in REO Properties for Sale

It is quite common to find discoloration caused by water intrusion in abandoned foreclosure listings. Depending on the price and condition of the property, your client may choose to repair and replace or simply find a more cost-effective solution for getting the home free of potential safety hazards and ready for market. In this video, I'll show you how we creatively handled the situation in a property that had some discoloration in the basement. I should mention that I hear myself using the word "mold" in this video. I am incorrectly saying using this term. The drywall had discoloration and I am NOT a mold expert and could not identify it as discoloration of the drywall. Furthermore, you'll notice that I mention that it is less than 100 contiguous feet, which is the standard by which many companies determine whether or not full "remediation" is necessary. In this case, it was not. Take a look at the end result of our "fix". Also be sure to notice that I check to see if the source of the problem is fixed as well. In this case it was not and I had to report it to my REO Asset Manager and my contractor had to return and get it corrected. "Band Aids" don't work. Double check every time! Hey, a repair like this on a bank owned property isn't always a pretty process but it gets the job done safely and properly!

 

So you got BLACKLISTED by an REO Client. The CRITICAL Next Move?

Hey, nobody's perfect. It happens. Suck it up. Don't get me wrong. I NEVER endorse performance to such a pathetic level that gets you on the shit list but when it happens, you need to know how to bow out gracefully. Listen, sometimes the hardest thing to do is swallow your pride. Especially when you are unjustly accused or blamed. This DOES happen in REO by the way. There is a LOT of CYA (Covering Your Ass) going on and usually the lowest person on the totem pole gets the blame for screw ups. Yep, you guessed it...the good old broker who worked his tail off and then took them blame for someone else's  screwup. So how do you handle it?

If you are an experienced REO broker then you probably have experienced the burning hole in your pocket from "loose" billing at one time or another-it's a hard learned lesson that you fix swiftly. If you are a new REO broker then LISTEN UP. I am about to share with you the DEADLIEST PITFALL that kills the profits of many aspiring REO brokers (and even some already successful ones). You MUST seek out and find the very best book keeper in town...

 

Keeping Your REO Asset Managers Up to Date - A Quick Email Goes a Long Way

When you begin handling hundreds of properties at once you'll very quickly understand the value of controlling unnecessary phone calls and emails. Look, this business is just like any other. You can't leave your clients "hanging" and not expect to get nasty emails or urgent phone calls that totally screw up your frame of mind and disrupt your flow. If you are anything like me at all you know how bad a threatening email from an AM can set you off. When this happens in my business you BETTER hide your butt in a closet if you are the guy who caused it.
