New Position as Assistant to REO agent

By
Real Estate Agent with Coconut Properties FL Real Estate Inc

This week I began as an assistant to an REO agent.  My first real estate office closed the branch where I worked and merged us with a branch too far for me to travel to so I had to seek another RE office close by as I have to be accessible to kids still in Middle and High school. 

I learned about an REO agent that was looking for an assistant to train and I immediately responded as I thought this is a hot area right now and I want to learn more.

Had lunch with the agent and we hit it off and so subsequently I started Monday. This agent is a seasoned broker with so much knowledge and energy, she's amazing. I hope I can exceed her expectations.

There is a lot to learn but if it was easy than there would be no challenge.  The part I have to learn to deal with is witnessing the eviction of good people who came into some misfortune and could not keep up with the mortgage payments.  The upside is that we make available affordable homes for first time home buyers and all the steps in between.

I am excited about this new journey!

Best of luck on the new venture. Dealing with evictions is a hard thing, but you have to think about the positives of the job rather than the negatives.
