SO YOU WANT TO BE A REO AGENT…
In these times of record foreclosures and crashing real estate markets, it has become very
difficult for real estate agents to earn a living. However, there are agents that are prospering in
these tough times; agents who seem to have an endless supply of listings. Listings that are priced
to sell and don’t require all the paperwork and time that is necessary for a short sale transaction
to close. Those agents are the REO agents and if you believe that is the road to success in
today’s tough market, then this book is for you.
WHAT IS A REO AGENT?
A REO agent is a licensed real estate professional who lists properties that are owned by lenders.
These properties have taken them back by the lender after a foreclosure auction.
These
properties held in the lender’s inventory are called “real estate owned” or REO by the lender.
Lenders are looking for skilled agents who can list and sell these properties for them.
WHY IT IS THE BEST TIME TO BECOME A REO AGENT?
REO agents are in most demand in distressed real estate markets when foreclosures are high.
Today’s market is not only one of record foreclosures but one of record REO inventories as well.
When the market started falling in 2006, this country had just experienced the hottest real estate
market in history. Foreclosures and REOs were rare because homeowners in financial trouble
could always sell or refinance their properties. The real estate market was so good the REO
agent almost became extinct. Since the market changed in 2006, lenders have been scrambling
to find experienced REO agents. As the market continues to deteriorate today, their need for
more REO agents has never been higher. Thus, now is the best time to become a REO agent.

WHY DO SOME THINK IT IS HARD TO BECOME A REO AGENT?
With the demand from the lenders as great as it is for REO agents today, why is it so difficult to
get any REO listings from the lenders?
When you apply with lenders to list their REO
properties, you are usually required to fill out a detailed application with many questions
regarding your REO experience. If you don’t have REO experience, the lenders are reluctant to
hire you to list their properties. The quandary becomes how will you get the experience they
require if they won’t hire you because you don’t have the experience?
One thing you can do is apply to become an agent for an existing REO brokerage. Then you can
get experience by working for an experienced REO broker. However, even assuming you can
find an opening with a REO broker who agrees to take you under his or her wing and mentor you
in the REO business, the REO broker will require you to sign a non-compete agreement. A noncompete agreement may later limit your chances of success in this business because you will not
be able to work for the lenders with whom you have established relationships while you were
working for the REO broker. However, at least you will have gained experience for your resume
if you apply with different lenders.
A second thing you can do is join one of the REO broker associations or organizations to
establish connections with some lenders or even possibly getting referrals from the organization.
However, the biggest REO organizations, REOMAC and NRBA, have frozen their new
memberships. They are no longer accepting new members and now have waiting lists with
thousands of agents already on them. They have done this because too many members reduce
the amount of business for each of their members in each geographic area. It seems that REO
brokerage is an exclusive club and which is very difficult to join. New REO organizations are
starting to appear so it could be beneficial to join one of these new groups. At the very least, it
gives you something to include on your resume that is REO related.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BECOME A REO BROKER?
Because of today’s REO crisis, REO outsourcers are in dire need more agents. Outsourcers are
independent companies that contract with lenders to provide REO services for them from start to
finish. They have set up networks of agents around the country that they can refer REO listings
to when the assignments come in from lenders’ asset managers. Because of the rate that REO
inventories are increasing, the outsourcers currently need more agents to list the properties that
are being referred to them. Although the outsourcers are also looking for agents with REO
experience, many times it is easier to get your foot in the door with them than it is with lenders
directly.

IS
THERE
ANYTHING
I
SHOULD
KNOW
ABOUT
THE
RESPONSIBILITIES OF REO AGENTS?
Listing REOs is a lot different than listing properties for sellers who occupy the property or own
it as an investment. The REO business can be hard work and time consuming compared to the
“normal” listings you are used to. But the trade off for the extra work you will be doing will
usually be more than made up by the volume of listings you will receive. As a REO agent, you
should expect to sign special lender listing agreements. Lenders will require you to sign their
own listing agreements; not the listing forms your local board has created for your use. The
lender listing agreements will spell out the additional duties you will have to perform for the
lender if you agree to list the property. Sometimes these extra duties are contained within the
listing documents and other times they may come in the form of an Agent Responsibility
Agreement.
Some of the additional responsibilities an REO agent is expected to perform are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Conducting regular drive by inspections of the property prior to the foreclosure auction;
Performing pre-foreclosure BPOs;
Helping secure possession of the property from the prior owners, usually by contacting
the former owners and opening a line of communication with them;
Conducting an initial inspection after the foreclosure auction and obtaining bids for all
necessary repairs;
Assisting the lender client in deciding whether to sell the property “as is” or completing
one or more necessary repairs if it makes economic sense;
Conducting inspections and performing BPOs for the lender during your listing on a
regular basis that could be from weekly to monthly;
Acting as a general contractor by coordinating the completion of the repairs to the
property;
Paying for all utility expenses and repairs up front out of your own pocket and then being
reimbursed by the lender between 30-60 days afterward; and
Regularly updating the lender on the status of your listing, including advertising efforts,
showings and activity from other agents. This is usually done by directly inputting
information into their system over the Internet.

ARE THERE DRAWBACKS TO BECOMING A REO AGENT?
As you can tell from the answer to the question above, being a REO agent generally requires
extra effort and work, compared to your standard listing. If you don’t perform these additional
services required by the lender, your listing will be terminated.
Further, with regard to the extra work you will be expected to perform, you will not receive any
extra compensation for these services. In fact, the majority practice of lenders is to only pay a
five percent commission to their listing agents from which the listing agent is only permitted to
receive two percent with the remaining three percent paid to the selling agent. Also, if you
received the REO listing as a referral from an outsourcer and not directly from a lender, you will
be expected to pay a referral fee to the outsourcer. This referral fee is usually 25 percent of your
part of the commission. This means that you may only earn 1½% for listing a REO.
Finally, because you will be required to pay for utilities and repairs out of your own pocket up
front and then bill the lender for reimbursement, you will need to have access to sufficient cash
(even if it is from credit cards) to pay these expenses as they accrue. The amount of cash you
will need to have on hand will depend on how many listings you will be getting from the lender
on a consistent basis. A couple of listings a month may only require a reserve of $15,000$25,000. Six listings a month and up may require $50,000 or more in available cash or credit. It
is important to realize that if you are receiving a relatively steady flow of listings that you will
always be floating this money.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A REO AGENT?
With all the hard work required and reduced commissions, why would an agent want REO
listings?
Because the potential financial rewards and other advantages outweigh the
disadvantages.
1.
Consistent Listings. Once you start getting listings from an asset manager and
they are confident you are competent, you will start receiving listings on a consistent basis. A
single asset manager for a lender could refer you anywhere from several to hundreds of listings a
year.
2.
High Volume. As your REO business expands and you start receiving listings
from other asset managers, you will soon find the volume of REO referrals increasing very
quickly. This is especially true in a foreclosure market like today. With a regular large volume
of listings, you will always have properties closing.
3.
Listings that Sell. Lenders need to dispose of their REO properties. They must
sell them as quickly as possible for both financial and regulatory reasons. Unlike regular sellers,
they can keep dropping the price until the property sells.
4.
Substantial Income. When you have a consistently high volume of listings that
you are selling, that obviously means you can earn a very good living in the REO business.
5.
Flourish in a Down Market. In a good up market, most agents can be successful
with very little effort. But when the market turns bad, most of those agents end up leaving the
business and most of the few that remain only scrape by. The small number of agents that know
how to work in a down market, who specialize in foreclosures, short sales or list REO properties,
will not only survive, but actually flourish when times are tough. A down market like we have
today is a REO agent’s dream.

IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD DO BEFORE I START APPLYING TO
BECOME A REO AGENT?
Definitely! When you start contacting lenders, outsourcers and asset managers, you usually only
get one chance to convince them you’re right for the job. Your first impression is critical. A
major key to your initial success is understanding what the lenders and outsourcers are looking
for in a REO agent. What they are looking for first and foremost is experience. If you’re not
already in the REO business, how do you get around this “experience” requirement? Sometimes
you can’t, but sometimes, if you can present yourself in the right way, you can make it onto the
lenders’ and outsourcers’ approved agent lists.
So how can you present yourself to lenders in a way to minimize the impact of your lack of
experience? You have to first create a lender-friendly resume. Having this resume prepared in
advance will make sure that you will have all your ducks in a row when you start applying for
REO work. Since you may not have any actual REO experience or lender references to put on
your resume, you will need to come as close as you can. Here are some items to include in your
resume to make the resume more lender-friendly:
1.
Lender Related Experience and References. If you’ve done BPOs, list your
experience and get references if possible. If not, start signing up for BPO work immediately.
Doing BPOs for a lender is as close as you can come to actual REO experience. List any lending
or mortgage brokerage licenses or experience you have. Contact all the lenders you’ve sent
loans to in the past and ask for letters of reference on the lender’s letterhead emphasizing what
an excellent REO agent you would make.
2.
REO Work-Related Experience. Remember, a REO agent is also a rehabber and
a property manager, in addition to being a real estate agent. So if you have ever been a property
manager, rehabbed properties or acted as a contractor, make sure this type of experience is
included in the resume.
3.
Education. Emphasize any special education or training that you have. Courses
on foreclosure, REO brokerage, performing BPOs, appraisal, rehabbing and property repair,
property management and contracting will demonstrate you have education, training and skills in
areas that REO agents must know.

4.
A REO Team in Place. Successful REO agents are not loners. They have a staff
to assist them and an outside team of specialists ready to go on a moment’s notice to take care of
properties. Emphasize to the lender you have a staff assisting you (even if you share them with
other agents or your entire brokerage). They could even be virtual assistants on the Internet
Some staff positions could include a transaction coordinator, marketer, licensed assistant, and a
field assistant to help monitor properties and repairs. Your outside team should be assembled
and cover all areas of property maintenance and repair. Members of this team could include a
general contractor and subcontractors, such as a plumber, electrician, handy-man, clean up crew,
painter, roofer and landscaper.
5.
REO Related Memberships. Join REO organizations. Some have closed their
memberships or have long waiting lists. Fortunately, in today’s foreclosure environment, new
REO organizations are being formed all the time. Join them and put them on your resume. If
they can provide you with any certifications or designations, all the better.
6.
Personal Qualifications. If you have any special qualifications that you think
might help you get the business, make sure to include them as well. Some examples are foreign
language fluency or market expertise in specific geographic areas, from one or more counties to
specific zip codes. Sometimes, lenders assign files by zip codes and they have trouble finding
agents in remote or out of the way areas. List any skill that makes you unique and that a lender
may find a plus for even one REO property in your area.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO THAT MIGHT HELP ME GET
REO LISTINGS?
Outside of direct contact with lenders and outsourcers by applying with them, there are a few
ways to break into the business by luck and circumstances. The best way to try to make this
happen is by placing yourself in front of those people and companies who might be able to help
you get in the business. This means you need to do two things:
1.
Exploit All Lender Related Contacts You Make. During the day-to-day course of
your real estate business, you have come across and will come across many individuals who
could be the one to help you get into the REO business. You never know which one has that
name or number you need. So every time you have a favorable contact with someone connected
to a lender, remember to just ask them if they know anyone or any way that can help you become
an approved REO agent for their lender. Sometimes they know who to contact or even may have
once worked in the REO department themselves. So every time you meet a loss mitigator, loan
officer, foreclosure trustee or field services company representative, ask if they know anyone
you can contact or any other way to get in contact with their lender’s REO department.
2.
Attend Industry Events and Network. The major REO broker associations and
industry default servicing organizations hold annual or semi-annual conferences and educational
events for their members and the REO industry in general. These regional and nationwide events
are attended by servicers, lenders, asset managers, REO outsourcers and other REO industry
insiders. Many REO brokers got their start in the REO business just by meeting the right people
and making the right contacts at these events. Look for one of these events near you, sign up and
attend. Some organizations and associations who organize these events and conferences are
listed below:

UTILIZING THE REO CONTACT LIST
On the following pages of this book are the names, websites and telephone numbers of over 200
companies you can sign up with to get REO business. All of these links were working as of the
most recent publication of this book in January 2009. Because of the constantly changing market
conditions, however, the status of some contacts, links and need for new REO agents can change
at anytime. Do not sign up with just a few and expect to get listings from each one. Some may
like your resume and have an immediate need for more REO agents. Others may put more
emphasis on actual REO experience or have filled all of their agent openings. Sign up with all of
them or as many as possible to have your best chances of success. As you acquire experience
and lender references for your resume, your success in acquiring even more lenders or
outsourcers to work for will get easier and easier.
So, there you have it; the REO business for agents in a nutshell. Put your resume together and
plunge right in. The best time in history to break into the REO business is now; so get started!
