Vickie just wondering if you had a chance to check out USRES to see what I was talking about in the posting.

Bob and Carolin- I was trying to gain the REO listing but I would now have to agree with you it looks like it is/was a waste of time.

Joseph- I understand all areas get a fee amount depending on how rural the area is, I have seen my area have fees from 45-100.

Cori- just wonder after doing say 40 bpos which could range I am sure you would agree from 45-90 dollars at least as they do ask for interior did USRES charge a referral fee for getting a listing from them? You said you have been doing them for years.

1800-3600 in fees for BPO's that you had not collected. The time spent running to get the pictures and to do the reports on these I am sure was a lot of time but if you received 2 listings that sold that is good. Hope you had received a good commission  % on the listing.

Matt- That is great to hear you received that many listings and that they stayed within the amount of free BPOS that they say you should have to do to get a listing. I know that is not always the case so you should count yourself lucky. Best of luck and thanks for reading my post on ActiveRain.

Nicole-Thank you for the comment.

That is a great listing sounds like my office however is located more than 15 miles to comparable listings in that price range.

 I have completed Bpos for USRES that were on the coast hard to complete ocean fronts with odd years built and square footage Bpos.

I had talked with a USRES rep and have been told that it would be rare for me to get an REO listing that would be 15 miles away from me with the clients they work with that do assign listings.

I was trying to do these Bpos to get the REO listing but was told upfront I would not be in the running for these that they are asking me to do free bpos for.

Most of the bpos I had completed for USRES were already listed at an uncomfortable rate 9/10 were already listed.
