Help Wanted: Not for the Faint at Heart

By
Real Estate Agent with Mason Real Estate CA BRE 01444168

As a local REO REALTOR servicing South West Riverside County from offices in the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley, John Occhi has went and done it again – grown faster than his team of seasoned REALTORS can keep up with.

John and his Inland Empire REO Team is currently averaging less than 7 days on market for all REO homes that are listed and sold – many are pre-sold even before they are released on the MLS to the local REALTOR population and the general public through syndicated sites like REALTOR.Com (where all of the teams listings are showcased), Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and many others. 

This certainly gives team members a cutting edge advantage in servicing their own clients if they know a price for a home 2 to 3 days before the mass population knows about the property’s price.

Imagine the type of activity this can generate when over 100 bona-fide leads are generated and captured using a state-of-the-art call capture system to find motivated and un-represented buyers in today’s REO market, throughout the Hemet – San Jacinto Market.

Because of this growth, as the Team Leader, I have decided to once again start my search for the latest team member.  This position though, will be unique in that it will not be a commission only position.

What Am I Looking For in a Team Member?

My preference is for a licensed individual who has strong administrative skills to work the front end of the business. 

The front end of a REO team includes marketing and tracking our REO inventory from areas as far away as Temecula and Murrieta up the 215 freeway through Menifee, Wildomar, Sun City, Perris and Moreno Valley as well as the Hemet San Jacinto Valley.  Other property locations include Lake Ellsinore and the Pass area along Interstate 10, including Banning, Beaumont, Cherry Valley, Yucaipa.  There is planned chaos, er I mean growth for the Coachella Valley as well.

This new staff position will truly have the inside scoop as she or he will be working in the office, learning first hand exactly what it takes to run an REO business as well as getting the skinny before other team members ever have a chance.  This will allow the new person to not only earn a fair wage for their work in the office it will allow them to earn a commission on proprietary information that is held very close.

The position will require regular hours in the office and will have general office administrative responsibilities in addition to the very specialized training that will be given that will transcend  the REO market and back to a normal market, as soon as that happens.

As a licensee, there will be certain tasks that will require the use of the license – that will provide the team member with higher earning abilities.

The nice thing about working REO business is there is very limited after hours work – meaning most of it is conducted during normal business hours of 8 to 5.

How to Apply

If you or anyone you know of may be interested in taking advantage of this unique opportunity then please email a brief bio of your experience – both real estate related and non-real estate related.  Make sure you add your first and last name to the subject line (if you don’t use the link – or it doesn’t work use the subject line “”Inside REO Team Position” followed by your full name.)

Please let me know of your availability and earning expectations.

Thank you for your interest.

Blessings to all who read this,

You make me want to move from North San Diego County to cover the South Riverside area.  Looks like you are doing great in this market.

John,

Sounds like a great position for the right person!  Learning the ins and outs of the REO business from an expert like yourself would be an advantage for any licensed realtor. Best of luck filling the position.

you should have no trouble getting good resumes, however, finding someone who is dedicated as you are, is another story

John, are you still looking for a team member? Because after Saturday I may have a very hot prospect for you that knows that area like the back of her hand. (No, it's NOT me. Are you crazy? I have enough on my plate as it is on the other side of the sandbox here!) If you're still searching let me know and I'll make the introduction. I know a very dynamic licensee who would work very hard for you.

Best,

Theresa Grant

Hi, John.  I just joined ActiveRain today, so I'm seeing your help wanted request for the first time!  Have you ever considered a Virtual Assistant, rather than your traditional "in-the-office" assistant?  I do all of the things you mention in your ad...marketing help, tracking inventory, general admin duties.  Although I won't be in your office, it might be worth some thought.  Advantages of a VA?  You don't pay employer taxes, vacation, benefits, office space, computer, phone, etc, etc, ETC!  Plus I am at your disposal when you need me, I won't be a drain on your wallet when you don't!  If you're interested please contact me at jodi@impactvirtualservices.com!  Thanks, and I hope to hear from you!

Good luck with finding someone.  It sounds like your county was very hard hit but the banks are pricing them correctly if they are off the market so fast.  Here they are still lingering for much longer periods of time.
