bpos: Nicole's Number One Way on 'How to Get REO's Listings from Your BPO Work.' - 05/30/10 12:41 PM
One of the best ways to turn your BPO's into REO's is number one work for the right companies that will align you with those opportunities.
I look at this like I am going fishing. I've spent plenty of time with a detailed map in hand. I spend hours planning, researching and then strategizing which are the absolute very best 'fishing' holes before deciding to sink my line in and see if I get a bite. To be successful in this business you've got to do the same and then be patient enough to wait for your bobber to sink just below the surface of … (0 comments)

bpos: What's the Longest Amount of Time It Took You To Get BPO's from a Company You Signed Up With? - 05/15/10 04:38 AM
After replying back to a BPO Automation Group client this morning who said, 'After 3 and half years I got my first BPO. They claim to pay $75.00 We will see'.....I then found myself thinking back to a few of my own accounts that took upwards of one year to see my first BPO come in from.
I remember signing up with FARVV about 3+ years ago and then it took them 1 full year before I saw my first solicitation come through my email inbox. I literally forgot that I signed up with them....ironically they became a substantial money-maker for me!

bpos: Nicolesdreams eBooks Becomes....BPO University - 04/21/10 05:40 PM
Without further ado....I'm very pleased to announce that Nicolesdreams eBooks has become BPO University. After 4 years in business and being able to help thousands of other real estate professionals learn more about the BPO business, Nicolesdreams eBooks is blending into becoming home to the first accredited real estate school to offer clock hour approved courses on Broker Price Opinions.
I'm in the final last few days of hearing back from the Real Estate Education Board here in Washington state to see if my "Broker Price Opinion Basics 101" course got approved for accreditation and can be offer for 9 clock hours … (1 comments)

bpos: If You are a BPO and/or an REO Agent I'm Impressed and Want to Applaude You..... - 10/01/09 05:12 PM
Not everyone is as smart as you are to have had the wonderful insight and foresight that you possess; no matter what your background is, how long you've been in the real estate business, how many BPO's you do per day or how many REO listings you carry right now, you deserve a round of applause and I'll be the first to stand up and give you a standing ovation.
Each time I speak in front of a crowd of fellow BPO and REO Agents I try to go out of my way to congratulate them just as I'm doing now within … (6 comments)

bpos: The Craziest BPO Order I've Even Been Asked to Do! - 11/19/08 07:23 AM
When I stop to think about all of the orders I have done over the last few years (the numbers being in over 1,000) many times come to mind about being asked to do some pretty crazy things. The one that sticks in my mind the most is this one.........
When I was asked by LSI/Fidelity to do a BPO order that paid $45, for a property that was located on an island that did not have traditional access to by a ferry. It was a very small island that was about 7 miles off shore of Bellingham. I've been on the island before and … (4 comments)

bpos: Why Some BPO and REO Companies Aren’t Accepting New Vendor Applications by Nicole Ocean - 10/28/08 05:07 AM
It is definitely true that some BPO (and even REO and Asset Management) companies have either closed their doors to accepting new BPO vendor applications or will still let you apply but it may be quite some time until you hear back from them with your first BPO order.
The ironic thing is that I had experienced this too when I first got into the business over 2 years ago. The difference with me is that I didn't take their "We are currently not accepting new vendors at this time," as if it were set in stone. To prove this point I signed up with FARVV about 2 years ago … (2 comments)

bpos: Standing Up Against The Backlash I Received From Some Members of Agentsonline.net - 10/25/08 02:23 PM
One of my past customers wrote me a note after questioning what the advantage was of joining my BPO and REO forum. After replying back to him about how my BPO forum is different......
**(I've got over 140 BPO and REO topics, over 995 comments. Plus I do not accept any outside advertisements like most of the real estate forums that are online today and lastly it is no longer a free forum where just anyone can access it. I'm looking for people who want to participate and share by having a positive, active voice) **
My past customer also made … (0 comments)

bpos: Not Getting Enough Broker Price Opinion Work? A few reasons why... - 04/16/08 04:04 AM
I was just catching up on the posting within the forum this afternoon and wanted to address some very important points that I mention to others when they email or call asking for advice.If you don't get business right away or are not getting enough business, it could be because of a number of factors. Within the last few years many agents, brokers and appraisers have jumped on board and started doing BPO's and some have gotten REO's. Plus, as many of you are well aware of the foreclosure rate throughout the nation has increased, in some areas it has started to … (5 comments)
