foreclosure: There's something new in Ozark real estate..... - 06/08/08 09:58 PM
ME!!!
Okay, I am not new to real estate. I have been doing this for 5 years and specializing in REO (foreclosures) for over 3. What IS new is my company, Ozarks' Independent Realty, out of West Plains, Missouri.
Opening my own brokerage has been a dream of mine since before … (5 comments)
foreclosure: The Importance of Accurate Valuations, part 1, what are BPOs used for, anyway? - 02/22/08 08:27 AM
I primarily sell REO (Real Estate Owned by lenders, usually through the foreclosure process). A huge part of selling foreclosures lies in performing BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions), which are about halfway between a CMA and an appraisal. If I value it, I will list it, right?

foreclosure: Sometimes, this business hurts... - 01/02/08 01:57 PM
I was at the courthouse steps Monday morning, watching as one of the first homes I ever sold was foreclosed. This was the only one we have sold that has "gone bad," and I didn't really like it. But I guess I had better toughen-up, because I have a feeling … (19 comments)
foreclosure: Do you want to start selling foreclosed properties? Here's how! - 11/30/07 02:53 PM
I list and sell foreclosures. Not a glamorous job, by any means. All you have to do is read some of the posts and look at some of the photos in the REO groups here, and you will get an idea what I am talking about. When my "emergency kit" that travels everywhere … (14 comments)

Okay, a recent new listing caught me unprepared, and I learned a thing or two that I want to share... First, always expect the worst when you go to enter a property for the first time. If it isn't so bad, you'll be thrilled, but if it is and you're not ready … (15 comments)
foreclosure: REO etiquette. There WILL be a test! - 11/02/07 04:06 PM
I am furious! I just came from my weekly inspection of my local REO listings, and found one unsecured. I mean the lock-box was left on the code, and none of the doors were locked. There have been several other agents showing that property this week, so I will probably never … (23 comments)

foreclosure: REO in the Missouri Ozarks - 01/01/07 09:01 AM
My name is Amber Bourland, and I sell real estate in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of south-central Missouri. I know, lots of other people do, too. So what's so special about what I do? Well, for one thing, I belong to an independent brokerage. That means we aren't franchised or … (3 comments)
