I just returned from a conference in Grand Junction, Colorado. CalREO, Atlantic/Pacific REO and Asset Valuation and Marketing put it on. The three companies are affiliated, and hence they have the same point of view. They understand that most of us are in a declining market and expect us to value properties accordingly. I have to say I was impressed, I got a lot of useful information and I look forward to working with them. They basically said "in not so many words" that if you were there (at the conference) you would get business from them. It shows them you are serious about working with them AND you get an opportunity to shake hands and talk with the decision makers. I have been signed up with them for a couple months now and got my first BPO request from them before I left the conference! Now, most of California was represented there, Las Vegas, some parts of Texas, Ohio, South Carolina, Minnesota and Utah. So, if you aren't in any of these areas (even if you are), I would sign up with all three companies. And, the BIG thing is, if you get the opportunity to attend a conference, do your "due-diligence" and check out the companies, but try to go! I firmly believe that I will get business from those companies and I networked with a lot of other agents that shared good info. This is a "person-to-person", "build a relationship" industry. So, GO TO A CONFERENCE!!!
As I receive information through the network I've established with these agents, I will share with you all.
