Keeping focused on acquiring and servicing listings is a central function of many brokers today.


Yet, we have clients who, by choice, are ONLY doing BPO’s. They don’t want the REO or short-sale listings. Why you ask? Because they are making substantial income on a regular basis, with virtually NO OVERHEAD. They focus on BPO’s. Some of our clients are … (0 comments)

Milestones and Anniversaries.... - 04/01/10 10:20 PM
Maybe it's a girl thing, but I think that milestones and anniversaries are so very important. Today was a day that was filled with both milestones and anniversaries.
It's our one year anniversary of being in business (for the BPO Automation Group). I am so proud of how far we've come in the last year.

We have had huge growth in the 'depth and breath' of our products and services this past year and as such we've … (2 comments)
