I got contacted today from a Real Estate Education company who claims that they can give me more business by completing their REO designation course. I mentioned to them that I already had a Default Designation from www.RealEstateEducate.com and I asked them what was so special about their designation. Well, the short of it, not much and I discovered a truth that I knew but, didn't really completely realize and that is, many of these REO Education companies are nothing more than Lead Generation companies. If you want to know how I feel about Lead Generation companies, you should click this link and read my blog Lead Generation Shams! Are you paying?

Well, I asked, "can you guarantee me business" and of course, I knew they couldn't and truthfully, I wasn't looking for them to say yes but, something amazing happened....he hung up on me. So, I guess these companies are getting a clue and that is, us Realtors are getting smarter about what they are really offering and that is NOTHING!

Now, I am going to toot my own horn a bit because, no one else will however, I manage a REO Professional Agent website, www.REOPro.NING.com with over 400 members. FYI: you can join to, it's free, just go on line and follow the instructions to become a member........now back on task.

If someone out their runs a legitimate REO Education site or business, one that offers it's graduates real business where they only ask for a fee or charge upon the closing of the sale, then call me because, not only will I sign up but, I will promote the heck out of you on my site www.REOPro.NING.com. For the rest of all you, "Learn REO in an hour" or "We have a list of REO companies once you graduate our program" I say, "GO DIG FOR TREASURE FROM SOME OTHER SUCKER" because I am not falling for it.
