"That easy? "
"I continue to ask more for BPO's and so far so good. Each is done by myself as directed by the companies I work for. If someone can do them for less, more power o them! They can have the business they take away from me :) I'll go find something…"
"So Vanessa, tell me more about Realty Pilot. Do you use just the BPO auto fill or do you use their back office as well? I've tried auto fill programs before but found managing their system was just as time consuming as just entering the BPO…"
"We live in a rural area and don't have the luxury of working a small radius and certainly can't afford an assistant. Grossed about 15K in 2014 the highest ever was $24K. Been passing up a lot of orders lately holding out for better pay, working for…"

A quick summary:2012 is definitely showing strong improvement; up 7% over 2011 when measuring by $/sq ft and 9.4% when measuring by average sale price. The rest of the story is the shrinking supply of inventory as has been shown for a long time now…
Charts show a decline in inventory we’ve come to expect in the 4th quarter however they also depict a long-term trend downward. Of equal note, the past 3 years have shown an increase in Bank owned (REO) inventory in the 4th quarter. So far, that…
Made some changes to the charts to make it easier to see trends as well as changes in variation; change is definitely apparent.List to sold ratios continue their long-term decline. Down in 2012 from 2011; down the last 3 months as we near the fourth…
