I'll start it off....LAMCO is bad...won't provide proof of their claims.
BPO companies that DO NOT PAY their invoices: Coast to Coast, Blue View, US Portfolio, Lender Services Group, Main Street Valuations.
Good Guys: Clear Capitol, Integrated (Secured Lending Svcs), to name a couple.
Yeah, I believe you should avoid all the "pay for leads" companies. False promises abound.
Is anyone willing to provide a "referral" to the NREOB? Feel free to check me out here and at LinkedIn.
In case anyone is interested, here's what I've come to think:
We are all going to be taken, and way more often than we would like.
But we are actually in the same boat as our clients/potential clients. They review applications, resumes, representations, certifications, etc, to find dependable agents to understand, execute and perform on-time REO tasks. They use services, forums, bulletin boards, registries et al to cull through the masses. (I'm not excluding references) to find us (yup, that’s who they’re trying to find). They select an agent based on their representations and hope they are real. They always remain at risk until the selected agent has demonstrated some level of competence.
When we pay fees to be listed on REO resource sites, we likewise have few methods of authenticating the site use by our potential clients. We assess what we can and hope they are truly what they represent themselves to be. More times than not they are scammers, (or inexperienced entrepreneurs) and most of the experienced REO agents can flesh that out - up front. . . But then - there are the silver-tongued devils" that sting us and our clients alike. Can you always spot them? . . . I don't believe so - at least I can't. (They’re very accomplished!)
For the third-party registries, we all have to be careful how we use them and monitor them. But, I would not recommend a "blanket" ignore.. Even AMs and PMs, when running out of other options, check non-mainstream registries for candidates under certain circumstances.
For the many key registries, such as REOTrans and RES.NET, there are features that can elevate your visibility to the level your potential corporate clients are searching. On REOTrans, you can Pay, Educate and Test through a higher level (up to platinum). View it as one will, this is yet another way to separate a dedicated agent from the cast of thousands. RES.NET recently introduced the AMP program (I signed up) that allows you to elevate agent marketing exposure, including on-line resume/biographies. Yup, it all costs more, but are you in this as a business, or a lottery player?
Spend carefully, but remember, you are marketing your verifiable credentials to potential clients, and they are also desperately (and I mean desperately) trying to find you. I suppose it's allot like a dating service! . . . Trying to find the right match, on both ends.
This forum, REOPREO.ning.com is an excellent resource for comparing knowledge and experience from the positive and negative experiences our forunners have had. (Speak up if you know something!)
I would say the gist of this comment, is that: 1) I wouldn’t reject a registry only because they charge a fee (check them out); 2) I would not pay fees for promises from an unknown (do they have skill, connections & skin in the game?); 3) Be careful, cautious and thoughtful as you endeavor to make new corporate client connections. Remember, your corporate client prospects are dong the same to find you.; 4) No matter how careful we are . . . we will all get burned! (hiding in the basement is NOT a solution)
Be vigilant, be committed, be certified . . . and always be gracious. Check out the questionable service offerings and alert your network(s) when you identify them.
Be well, prosper, and the very best of good fortune to all,
Clay
P.S. – Hope to see all of you at REOMAC and the next REOMasters events.
I may be a little old-fashion, but nothing beats going out and getting your own leads!
I am also glad that I paid for REO Network premiun, my best cliet found me there and teh $600 "add" was a good ROI.
Now thanks to this blog and some of the people I met at Five Star, I have wised up and will try to maximize my networks, my contacts and the knowledge that we share.
I don't know what you are cooking Jessie, but I hope it is spicy brother. However I believe that some people are confused, or maybe I am totally confused, with the idea of getting assignments from REO TRANS, that is just a portal like RESNET that some AM use to process the document and to communicate with the Realtors. I know I have to pay for those portals in order to service my clients, I see them as the multiple listing service, MLS is not giving me business but it is an important tool for my business.
