"Hey Dan! I know just where you're talking about and I'm probably 5 minutes from there. I work under Modern Real Estate, with about 95 agents currently. If you're ever back in the Denver area, you should look me up and we'll grab dinner!"

Lisa Crawford commented on Michael Babbitt's blog post USRES BPO to Listing Ratio
"Funny, I have always found their quality control to be VERY realistic. In all of the bpos I've done, they've never asked for any changes to be made. I just make a notation if I needed to deviate from the requirements and they are fine with it as…"

"Who is the best person to contact when we are "gently hinting" at the request for a listing? Is it better to ask the people assigning the bpos or should I use the contact us information? Would you recommend calling or emailing and is there someone…"

I appreciate your time here in this forum. Could you elaborate for a minute on what makes ABF different from other companies. not for the agents, but from the bank's point of view. in other words, what does ABF have that will encourage a…"

Thanks for the great info! You have some very valid concerns (most of which I also share). I will definately ask for further info on the number of agents per zip b/c the answer that I received from Marie was that there was a limit of 2-3…"

"Oh, also - my understanding is that the referral fee to ABF is 20% of my commission (3%). This actually totals to be less than the usual 1% fee from most asset management companies.
