I have been scratching my head lately how some name brand agents get their bank owned inventory....does the asset manger really care? or really know?

IN SEARCH  OF ....the listing agent

For starters... listing comes on the market...is listed in the MLS....but has no lockbox until 4 days later because the assistant does not work on Sunday.  I tried to show this property twice ...no offer from me!  This equals lost sales.  Should you not do your own work? I work Sundays.....

In a listing recently: This text in the agent commentary in the listing: "If status shows active it is active...do not call for status, do not ask about offers, do not call, email only ( obviously has too many listings with no customer service.)

Or how abou this..." PLS use lckbx on door. Pls txt for all info. Snd offr w FICO,EMD,POF,RPA.  Sllr mtvd!  ( obviously too busy to slow down and write like a human.

My point is this.  Does a certification really make you a good REO agent?

I would think as long as you do a presentable job on 1 listing or 5 listings and act intelligent, I think that would be good enough. 

Really, can you think of why it would not benefit an asset manger to have their property marketed with the same vigor as a standard owner occupant?

HMMM....

Youtube can be one of the most powerful tools for both showing asset managers your marketing abilities and generating leads for yourself from around the world. With the correct use of Property Addresses through Google Maps your YouTube Channel can be a showplace for both you and your properties. Take a look at this example www.youtube.com/RealtorVincent

If you are a RE/MAX Agent your in luck!!! Ask me why. . .

While doing some BPO work today for some multi-family houses it still amazes me the number of agents who do not fill out many of the non-required fields in the MLS.

It also was interesting that many of these "slim" MLS listings are REO properties.

Do people not realize that if you fail to fill out fields such as, # of units, number of bedrooms, number of baths, total sq feet, than many people doing searches for properties will NEVER SEE YOU LISTING IN MLS.

I also love the MLS description when people write... "Bank owned"... and nothing else.

I try to fill out full data fields, give multiple pictues (good and bad), and write an accurate description in the remarks field. No wonder my last 4 sales averaged 45 DOM.

That's my rant for the day.
