SPEAK UP to Your AMs when You are Right!
Something REALLY cool happened with one of my clients this week that I thought I'd quickly share with you. Frankly, it started out as a serious "problem".

It always seemed that each AM had entirely different "rules" and "procedures" for handling properties than the next AM did-even properties from the SAME SUB-CLIENT.

If you're not a big bank direct broker yet (and I say "yet" because you should be vigorously pursuing them as a client) then it is good practice to start doing BPOs as if you were doing them for a big bank AM.
