When is the PERFECT Time to Inspect your REOs?-Think RAIN!
If you REALLY want to be the guy who stands out as THE broker to use in the minds of your clients then GO THE EXTRA MILE! Rarely do I see agents getting off their butts and doing proper checks on their properties at the times they need to. For me, a rainstorm presents the PERFECT opportunity to see just how solid your homes are. Watch this video and I'll show you the kind of things you will discover if you're smart about the times that you inspect...things that you would NOT find at less opportune times. Take note of the signs of previous water issues that I point out. This is how I know exactly WHICH houses I should be visiting after a good old fashioned downpour. Your AMs will LOVE you for identifying these issues BEFORE they come up as "deal killers" later!
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?
