Are you a real estate professional, agent or broker, curious about BPO's (Broker Price Opinion), and wanting to find out how doing BPO's can enhance and further your real estate career?

  • Once professionally trained, established, and vetted with a few BPO companies, a real estate professional can earn a consistent and reliable income performing BPO's.
  • Performing BPO's can establish a powerful reputation with Outsourcers, Banks and Lenders, and some BPO assignments may lead to receiving listings through these clients.

As a real estate professional, once you have learned the basics of how to value distressed properties, you can then move on to understanding the Banks REO Systems and Procedures:

  • It is extremely important to understand the Banks systems and procedures before you attempt to enter the REO arena.
  • Through training, the real estate professional will be learning new terminology to successfully obtain REO accounts from:
    • Outsourcers
    • Asset Management Companies
    • Lenders/Banks
    • Mortgage Insurance Companies
    • Investment Banks
    • Venture Companies
    • Investors

Statistics state that a foreclosure occurs every 13 seconds nationally.  There are 3 million to 3.3 million projected foreclosures per year until the year 2013/14. The developers of the "REOCertified" Designation believe that the real estate professional can obtain the tools necessary to succeed as a BPO/REO Broker in the future.

Short Sale National Data

Some interesting short sale statistics from a site called Housing Predictor:

  • Less than one percent of the homes at risk for foreclosure are approved by banks for short sales.
  • Only 40,000 short sales were completed nationwide in the first half of 2009.
  • Only 8-12 percent of the homeowners who initiate a short sale actually succeed.
  • Major Banks claim they have added staff to handle the increased volume of customer inquiries about short sales.
  • JP Morgan Chase says it has hired 5000 new employees to handle the flood of calls.
  • Bank of America, which services 14 million mortgages, says it has also invested in building capacity, but the bank is reportedly under fire for outsourcing much of the call center work to India. (I think this may be a spurious allegation - I haven't ever been connected to an Indian call center during many months of dealing with B of A).

The "Short Sale Certified" designation is recognized by Banks/Lenders/Outsourcers as providing Real Estate Professionals with superior Short Sales training & knowledge.
