I have been receiving a lot of mass emails regarding foreclosures. Each website will email list of foreclosures for a small fee, however I don't feel that this list will help me to list a foreclosure. Throughout my 2 years in real estate I keep hearing that the key to getting foreclosure listings in to form a relationship with the banks. Question to my fellow bloggers: Does anyone have any suggestions on how to connect with the proper contact at the banks? HAs anyone has a lot of success with foreclosures?

At this point, the market is saturated with agents trying to get reo's. I am not sure it is possible at this point to get in. At least that is the way in my area.

It's the old adage that applies here...it's not what you know, it's who you know. I've yet to find that right person. Still looking though....

Many banks are capping agents and 20-30 listings so I don't think it is too late to get in. I heard BPOs were the way but I have done 50-100 a month for almost a year and nadda. I have one possible REO listing in the next month.
What bites is that many want REO experience for you to apply. Catch-22 for many of us.

What happens when it runs out and they have to get used to a normal market again?

Hey Bob and Diane,
I have had some listings (foreclosures) over the years, but they came through BPO's. The funny thing is the agents in our area are not getting the foreclosure listings sold in a timely fashion but the banks stay with them any way. Most agents that having ins with the banks are not willing to give any info on how to crack this field.
