ATTENTION EAST COAST REO AGENTS: some of our REO network partners have been reporting new REO assets from Specialized Asset Management (SAM REO). I verified and it’s true. According to sources at SAM REO, they are not seeing any volume in California 🙁 or the west coast, however SAM REO is seeing a lot more assets on the East Coast. East Coast REO agents, start applying. Take note that SAM REO carefully qualifies and selects each real estate agents to ensure the highest standards for their clients. Meaning, they are looking for the best REO agents. If this is you, click on the link below, which will direct you to the online REO application.

BANK OF AMERICA OUTSOURCE LIST
The asset managers at SAM have not instilled any confidence in me to show they have the competence to work outside a God status, unanswered emails, quick to snap back with exclamation points. I had one recently who could not close a transaction on time and lost the deal because she was to busy, to take a minute, to be nice and commnicate.
They can reassign for any reason or even for no reason. If anything goes wrong it’s always the broker’s fault.
A few years ago (different client) I had a listing and the MMR was due the next Sunday. I sent it in the Friday before only to have an email on Monday saying it was due. Emailed it again and got another email that afternoon saying if I didn’t send in the MMR by the end of the day they’d reassign. I emailed it a third time, also faxed and called asset manager and left a message that I had repeatedly emailed and now had also faxed and please confirm she’d received. Tuesday morning she emailed me saying she was reassigning and the listing was cancelled.

They require a $75 fee just to register with them? No thanks.
I’ve about had it with being required to pay to work with a company.
Have a great week!

I totally agree with you there Lisa.. I started to sign up with default services the other day.. no mention through out the whole process until you get to the end and then it was submit and pay.. a registration fee and a monthly fee.. Agents arent making what we used to make.. We dont have the money to gamble on whether or not we will get a listing from these companies.

Hello Ladies….What you are saying is true. But I must says that I have been doing REO for 6years and i have spent over 10k to 15k in fees like this. Don’t get me wrong there were a few that I paid and I did not get anything but other fees that I paid and got REO were well worth.
I always do my research and I must say that Ponice info….. I found it to be good stuff.
Good Luck Ladies Oh BTW….If you have any sellers or Buyers in NJ. Let me know i will take good care of them
