Good morning,
I’ve been receiving your emails and I’m trying to figure out the benefit to you? Since you market REO properties, wouldn’t you receive fewer REOs if other agents came on board with this?
Just curious
Thanks!

Opinion: The most successful agents build a network and work with others, not necessarily in the same exact market. If you out there on your own and you don’t wish to communicate with others due to possible competition you may be at a disadvantage. If you network and share ideas and build skills they will put you ahead of your competition anyway. I think the benefit of having a large network and confidence in your abilities outweigh the risk of competing agents.
Thanks
