So how can we best bring them all together so they can accomplish their goal?

What if I told you there is a way for any real estate agent, whether doing broker price opinions or not, in any real estate market, does not have to be the reo market, in any area can learn to attract buyers like drawing bears to honey using the internet.  Go back and read that one more time and let it sink in.

What if you are doing broker price opinions for one or more lenders already?  Wouldn’t be nice to also have a list of buyers to email out to when you get that listing so you have a chance to earn both sides of the commission?

I’m referring to a system that would get buyers to give you their contact information voluntarily because you are an expert in your local market and they found you and your information by searching for a home or property in your area.

The above concept is not new but I’m in the process of developing a way to accomplish this and set it on auto pilot to bring you buyer leads right into your email inbox 24/7.  No print advertising, no sitting at an up desk, no dialing for dollars, no open house sitting and no 800 number service.  Imagine yourself, working with an abundance of buyers, who are able, willing and ready to buy in your local market area.  You’d probably need to hire an assistant or two with that much business.

How’s sitting at the “up desk” waiting for that elusive buyer to call in working for you?  Have you been encouraged to do more dialing for dollars?  Well that’s the old way and that’s the way a lot of the brokers will tell you to start out or in order to get new business that’s what you should do.  How’s that working for you?

Ok, enough sarcasm already.  There is a better way.  Let’s call it working smarter not harder.  Now I know you’ve heard that before but stay with me while I try to peak your interest.

Well we all know a Broker Price Opinion doesn’t pay much but what if that was your niche, doing nothing but a Broker Price Opinion, for several lenders?  Staying pinpoint focused on that niche would cause you to become an expert in no time.

Now what if you built a relationship with those lenders you do a Broker Price Opinion for and you ask for the listings?  Let’s take it a little further.  Let’s say you learn how to, with laser focus, draw web traffic like bears to honey?  What if you had Buyers on a list that you could contact via email when you did a Broker Price Opinion before your listing even hit the market?

Well stay tuned because in an up coming article I’ll cover that.  Better yet subscribe to my blog and you won’t miss when that article comes out.

Before I wrap this article up I have a Broker Price Opinion and REO course I would like you to take a look at and even consider acquiring for yourself.  You can access the materials by either clicking on it under the Blogroll on the sidebar area or clicking here Lenders Need RE Agents Now .

Until next time……

Well, “h-e-l-l-o”, what market is the most active these days?  How about having a list of buyers waiting?  So why not provide the broker price opinion, request the list back, then produce the buyer, open escrow and wait for closing.

In this volatile real estate market I’ve heard from a several agents making a very good living doing broker price opinions for lenders who are holding a lot of inventory from the tremendous volume of foreclosures.  They first started out doing a broker price opinion to help pay the bills and discovered that there was a high demand by lenders for agents that would provide a competent broker price opinion.

Well, guess what?  I’ve recently read that another wave of foreclosures is on the horizon.

Maybe now would be a perfect time for you to begin contacting lenders to become one of their preferred broker price opinion providers?  So how do you go about doing that?  I’m so glad you asked.  You can go here, broker price opinion, and review everything that is in the course and if do you decide to purchase the broker price opinion course, thank you in advance as my company will receive a fee because I am an affiliate.

Even if you don’t purchase the course, as you exit, you will be given an opportunity to download for free a video called, “Most Wanted: REO Bank Listings” which will teach you how to get them.  But of course I hope you can see the great potential to either add to your arsenal of tools or become better and more efficient at providing a broker price opinion.

Anyways, let’s get to the meat of this article shall we?  If you have been following my blog you know I provide access to reviews on some of the top selling products online.  One of those products is a free search engine optimization software plug in.  Another is a broker price opinion kit for real estate agents wanting to work in the REO market also known as the bank owned real estate arena.

Now stay with me on this because I have your best interest in mind here.  By using the free search engine optimization product I was able in a very short time to achieve first page ranking on google search results with my blog.  Of course I also implemented social bookmarking techniques to expand my exposure.  Next in my arsenal is article writing and publishing then on to press releases.

So for my next experiment I’m going to see what results I can achieve by focusing on broker price opinion.  Keep in mind the goal should be to target and draw buying traffic to your site not just traffic for the sake of traffic results.  After all this is experimental stuff but at some point you want to monetize it, right?  So let’s see how I do on this broker price opinion test.

Ok, so let’s say you are a real estate agent.  Typically your clients are either buyers or sellers, right?  Or maybe both, wouldn’t that be nice?  What if you had a way to target in on those folks, say buyers, in a given marketplace?  What if you could, let’s use buyers again, draw web traffic like bears to honey?  Sweet!!!!!  You could drill down using the free search engine optimization plug in and target, say, waterfront buyers or what ever your niche is.

You see my research shows that the majority of folks looking to buy property or a home in any given marketplace are doing so first by searching the internet.  Wouldn’t you agree?  Search engine optimization anyone?  Are you having an “ah ha moment” yet?  Well if I lost you or you would like to learn more please subscribe to my blog as I teach you how to draw web traffic like bears to honey and how to monetize your web site and or blog.

You need to know the language spoken among those in the REO or bank owned market place so when you get an Asset Manager for a lender on the phone to speak with them about their potential foreclosure listings you can intelligently hold their interest.  Sometimes you will be speaking with the REO Loss Mitigation or Prevention Department personnel and you need to know exactly what to ask so you don’t get put off or even hung up on.  Remember they receive a ton of calls a day on their REO or bank owned properties from hopeful real estate agents so you need to set yourself apart from the BPO and REO crowd.

One of the most critical and initial piece of the foreclosure listings and REO sales process for the REO Agent is called the Broker Price Opinion or BPO for short.  The Broker Price Opinion needs to be as accurate as your research can substantiate.  Sure for most real estate agents that’s not a problem but it can be a daunting task if you don’t have enough current comps to go by.  In this market of overwhelming numbers of foreclosures becoming bank owned properties the need for the quality REO Agent to work foreclosure listings is paramount.  They are in high demand.  The key is to become an expert REO Agent by providing thorough and accurate Broker Price Opinions.

Ok, let’s get some perspective on what’s going on in the market place.  “IRVINE, Calif. – Jan. 14, 2010 – RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, today released its Year-End 2009 Foreclosure Market Report™, which shows a total of 3,957,643 foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled foreclosure auctions and bank repossessions — were reported on 2,824,674 U.S. properties in 2009, a 21 percent increase in total properties from 2008 and a 120 percent increase in total properties from 2007. The report also shows that 2.21 percent of all U.S. housing units (one in 45) received at least one foreclosure filing during the year, up from 1.84 percent in 2008, 1.03 percent in 2007 and 0.58 percent in 2006.”
