"I have probably had only 20 emailed BPOs in the last year from them. I get the occasional call, but they won't increase fees and since I changed Brokers I can't log on anyway, trying to get them to correct this is more difficult then herding cats..I…"
"I had one of my BPO companies try that a few years ago, I told them no way and to reassign the orders. My vendor manager said to be patient, it would be dropped soon as all their agents were refusing to take the comp pics without a huge fee…"
"Sorry, I just can't get excited about doing the background check for them just so I can compete for $35.00 BPOs."
"I haven't worked for them in a few years, but I used to do a lot of BPOS for them until they started doing property management only. They were a very good company back then."
"So true, several companies send orders to me for $35-$65 dollars, I send back fee increases of $100-$375 depending on the location. Not many give me the increases so I only do 4-8 BPOs a week, but they are all at least $125.00.(I'm in a rural…"
"Hmm, me too, I see 3-4 BPOs a day from Altisource."
"I've done a handful of orders for them. Average form, no issues getting paid."
" The inspections the OP is talking about are not BPOs, they are a 5 minute inspection report. Sure, they always offer them at $10.00 but I always, every single time, have had the fee bumped to $30.00 and on some $40.00. I accept them and ask for a…"
"We get a minimum of 1%, and usually 1.5%. We have 5% to work with, Ocwen takes 1%, if we offer the Selling Agent 2.5% we end up with 1.5%. The property condition/location usually determines whether we offer 2.5 or 3% to the Selling Agent."
" Tom,
I'm not sure why you are paid only $800, unless all your listings are $80,000 or under. I've had several the last year for Ocwen, most of the commissions range from $1900 to $2400.00.
They are pretty generous giving theirselves 2%, but all…"

"In a Tract with cookie cutter homes, plenty of sold and list comps, 25-30 minutes. In the more rural areas, which is where I usually work, it can take 1.5 to 2 hours if the job is really difficult. There are only so many comps on the MLS, even if I…"
"Kathy,
I paid the $99.00 which was good for 1 year of tech support, included with that were some other perks that were useful.
I haven't paid the fee for a few years, so of course I don't expect any support should the imacros quit working."

"Kathy,
You aren't forced to pay anything, I'm still using the imacros program I purchased from Nichole several years ago, and it still works great, I don't pay a thing.
The only reason I haven't upgraded to their newest software is because I…"

"Sooo,, your saying that if it has busted pipes I can't get my client an FHA loan??
Just kidding..:)"

"I know Donna, she used to be with SLS and was great to work with. She has called us a few times to sign up but a background check is required($40), and they didn't actually have any accounts yet. So I passed for now."
"We got the email, just another creative way for them to increase their revenue, not yours. BPOs have been reduced to a trickle, I feel sorry for anyone trying to get started in BPOs right now."

Mark, regarding Green River, just call them at 801-487-3801 and make sure you have an updated W-9. They like to pay direct deposit, but if that is a problem for your broker they will mail a check.
