BPO's

By
Real Estate Agent with Atlanta Communities 309343
I am interested to know if there are any BPO scams to look out for. It seems like companies ask for some very private information when a realtor signs up to do these. I have signed up with one company that came personally recommended, so I know it's legitimate, but I'm not sure how to check out the ones that come as email solicitations. These also ask for a fee, payable by credit card. Any advice?

I don't work with any companies that require me to pay a fee.  So if they do then I would pass them by.  There are loads of them out there.  Join the REO group here on AR and you will find lots of advice.

I'm not sure I understand...why would you have to pay for a BPO?

 

Am I missing something?
