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 this blog. Being able to be in this business is such a big deal!

No one will argue with me when I mention that this business is without a doubt so highly competitive, while at the same time a good challenge for those who love stiff competition and thrive on being challenged. Many would say that it is a very cutthroad, brutal business at times and yet I bet those same people would also tell you that's it also very rewarding overall....even with all of the trying times and things that happen to you throughout the normal course of a day while doing your job. Plus, when it comes down to it, I bet most of you wouldn't want things any other way.

You are a hearty bunch that's for sure and if I had my way I'd make it possible for you to: get paid more with each order you do, not force you to do work at night nor on the weekends, so that you can spend more time with your loved ones, and most of all I'd provide all of the hardworking, straight-shooting BPO and REO Agents with enough consistent work that would leave you feeling good at the end of the day for a job well done, as well as I would ensure that I'd pay you enough so you can pay ALL of your bills...each and every month.

I sincerely want to take a moment to applaude each and every one of you for all of the good things that you do each and every day and wish you continued success through the ups and downs in the business. Great job on picking a fantastic niche to carve your own path through! I hope it serves you as well as it has done for me.

I know that most of you don't get told often enough good job for all that you invest of yourself in your BPO and/or REO business. Keep in mind that what you do matters greatly! Thank you for contributing and for doing your part!

Warmly,

Nicole Ocean
