"30 zip codes... must be highly populated metropolitan area.  If I listed that many zip codes I'd be way out of my market territory!  If I stretch it, I may be able to claim a dozen zip codes..."

"Several years ago I signed with DispoSolutions for the basic fee, just to see how they are. I never got anything from them. The following year, when renewal came up, I asked them why I should pay them for the privilege of never getting any work from…"

Rochelle Curtis replied to Wanda Collier-Abbott's discussion Becoming a REO listing agent in CA
"You're right, Willy. I am in the north end of L.A. county and we have very few REO listings anymore. Still several short sales, but even those are thinning out (thank goodness). Most of ours seem to be vacant investor flips these days, which means…"

Rochelle Curtis replied to Wanda Collier-Abbott's discussion Becoming a REO listing agent in CA
"And keep in mind that pay for REO listings has gone waaaay down, and you still have to babysit and do regular BPOs on each REO listing you have. I gave up listing REOs in 2010 because I was losing money by fronting repair costs, sometimes missing…"

"Checking in.  How is everyone out there doing?  Anything with ARRO?  How about business in general?  My MLS has a lack of Active listings, unfortunately, so bidding wars are going on.  But too many people are still underwater and not selling (yet). …"

"I'm with you, Aldo.  I'm suspecting they needed our cash influx to fund the projects they were working on, and to meet their payroll.  It's not doing me a bit of good!"

"I'm in CA.  I got the same email, but ignored it.  I was waiting to see what new discussions result.  Has ANYONE here gotten ANYTHING from Arro, at all?  Has anyone tried asking for a refund of the original $75 since they haven't done a thing to…"

"Were we all hopeful fools???  They were supposed to begin this anticipated undertaking on June 1.  Perhaps they just collected $75 from everyone over a leisurely 2-month period while we all waited patiently, and absconded with our money when June 1…"

Rochelle Curtis commented on Billie Dalessio's blog post How Do I Get My Next REO Listing?
"I gave up on REOs. My last one sold in late summer 2009. I took on a partner in early 2008 because I was getting too many to handle by myself. With the tiny commission allowed by the asset manager, and then the referral fee to them, less my broker…"
