R.E.O.
Processing
(March 6th)
Tuition $119
R.E.O. Processing is still with us as the real estate
market begins a slow recovery!
In this class you will learn the “A.B.C.’s” of R.E.O.
processing and how it can dramatically impact your
revenue stream as another source of business. While many
companies may process foreclosures, not as many handle
R.E.O.’s, giving you a distinct competitive advantage.
Conducted by a recognized escrow, R.E.O. processing
expert,
you will learn
-
The R.E.O. process – what happens before and after
Foreclosure!
-
Escrow’s Role within the R.E.O. sale!
-
Processing steps – from start to finish!
-
Use of the C.A.R. Residential Purchase Agreement &
Joint Instructions!
-
R.E.O. documentation – what is needed and when!
-
Disclosures and what you need to know!
-
How to work with Asset Managers!
-
Tips for staying on top and managing the process!
-
Establishing “key” relationships to “get in the
door” for this business!
While the class focus is on the processing of the R.E.O.,
some time will be spent on “sourcing” (where to
get) this type of business.
