Want to Sell REO properties? Here's 1 Quick & Easy Way to Cut in Line...
If you haven't already taken advantage of "Uncensored REO Secrets" then invest in your copy today. It's the simplest and easiest way to discover how to jump into the business of selling bank-owned homes. As a result of the most common questions that I get from coaching members and other aspiring REO brokers that I frequently meet, I put this quick little "blueprint" together, that outlines the most critical steps that you'll need to take, and the most deadly pitfalls that you MUST avoid, in order to start getting assignments from banks and asset management companies.
How to KEEP Getting REO Listings...What Asset Managers want to see.
Good morning all. Just a very quick post to remind everyone that you will NOT get away with slacking on utility connections. I realize that this may seem to be a post with a very obvious meaning but I have to tell you that this is probably one of the biggest hangups that AMs have to deal with. I would roughly guesstimate that at least HALF...yeah HALF of the REO properties that I visit DO NOT have utilities activated. I also know with absolute certainty that almost ALL Master Listing Agreements contain a special section regarding broker responsibilities, specifically, ACTIVATING UTILITIES. I was reminded of this sore subject by an email received from a client today,
(Lack of) SPEED KILLS! - A Useful REO Time Saving Tool that Instantly Gives You a 33% Boost!
Do you know the #1 killer of an REO business? No, it ain't strong competition bubba (gosh knows there's a gaping hole where THAT should be)! And it isn't bad luck either. It IS the in-ability of lazy, coffee-drinking, sit at their computer all day, whine and moan about the economy, God's gift to REO, "prima donna" brokers, to get off their fat butts and get their tasks COMPLETED on time! Let me tell you, if you want to be tossed to the curb quicker than Tiger Woods at a Swedish family reunion, then you just GO AHEAD BE LATE big boy! Your Asset Managers will cut your legs out from under you so fast that your competition won't even notice you've disappeared! O.K. look, when you're selling bank owned foreclosures, it is absolutely CRITICAL to have ROCK-SOLID systems in place, to handle the multitude of things that are thrown your way every day.
Performing an REO Eviction
Performing and eviction on one of your REO properties may seem like a daunting task but it's really quite easy. As the broker, your role is primarily to coordinate the arrival of a crew of guys to assist in carrying the furniture and any other belongings to the curb and to assure that things such as the re-key and securing of the property take place. Once the crew is finished with their job, you simply photograph the property, install the sign and lockbox and you're on your way. Watch this video to see how simple the process really is.
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". I have sold REOs for this firm for just about a year now and it's always been, well let's just say, "difficult". I don't mean that it's been hard to sell their properties, but rather, it's been very hard to get "in sync" with this client's expectations. 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.
