REO agents, I'm certain that this does not apply to any of you. After all you are on Active Rain and you are reading this...... however..... here goes nothing.
REO's my latest pet peeve. Perhaps there is a bit of jealousy, because I KNOW beyond a shadow of doubt that I would do a better job servicing the CLIENT than I'm seeing from a lot of REO agents. Not all, but a lot.
Perhaps I'm naive. I can tell you I would not want my sign advertising a home that is in the FILTHY condition some
homes I see are in. I AM NOT talking about huge repairs, carpet or paint, I'm talking about BASIC cleanliness! There is not a lot of money involved just some elbow grease. For example, how hard is it to throw away old beer bottles that are molding inside? Or how about half eaten donuts left on the counter and floor? What about cob webs in door ways? The list goes on and on....... It's so simple, so quick, to make a dirty home clean. Yet, there they are day after day, the same people, with the same dirty houses, listing the REO's.
These REO Mills provide very little SERVICE to thier clients. They use cheap combo locks (and don't post the combination); no flyers, no advertising on even free internet sits, no photos of the inside of the home, etc. There is no way that a "REGULAR home seller" would accept being represented in this fashion so why does a bank?
Don't get me wrong, I know we all have different levels of service we provide our clients, but shouldn't a seller, that is selling an REO property deserve and expect the same level of service? After all they are paying us our commissions.
