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.

reo: 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?

reo: Do you want to start selling foreclosed properties? Here's how! - 11/30/07 02:53 PM

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)

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)
