"To all the folks who continue to post on this and the other 15 ABREO forums.  THIS COMPANY IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF PROVIDING LISTINGS!  They are in the business of getting $295 from agents, investing those dollars and paying the $295 back from new…"

"It's true. I know several PAS agents (I am one for several years now and was spared) that were let go also stating they could stay a BPO only agent and am told they had good scorecards as well. I know of a couple other servicers doing the same. As…"

Michael Howard replied to Anton Stetner's discussion Who is going to REOMAC Spring Edu. Summit April 14-17?
"I am on the fence for this one. I have to attend the Keystone meeting a couple days before and Desert Hot Springs is in my backyard so.... Carlos if you go it would be great to finally meet you in person (and anyone else on REOPro). Let me know."

"Hi Addie, I have heard the auto accept software companies have already programmed the Kaptcha work around. I had one of my BPO agents logged on at 1.45 in the morning (not sure why they were up that late) and refreshed as an order was coming over…"
