I have been certified for over 3 months, and I pay for zip codes. Only to find out a local office (a much larger firm than I work for, actually the firm I used to work for) get all of the B of A listings. Sometimes they post BPO's and I have not been fast enough to accept any yet (even from my blackberry). So far NOTHING from the $499 certification and $32 per month that I pay for my zip codes. It is still all the same agents getting the listings.
I've got one for you. How about a BPO being listed as available and accepted by an agent 2 minutes before time it was posted?

I took the GOLD training. Absolutely no benefit from becoming certified. I dropped the zip codes. There are some agents who have some type of automated ability to capture the leads before they hit the overall population. It is much more than having one sit and hit refresh a million times an hour.
Equator denied they allow such but as stated by one party below the lead was gone before it hit and I was on equator at the time at 3AM in the morning checking out one of my short sales. They stated if they found agents using the automated system they would drop them but I really do not think that is happening. I gave them a few examples of what I encountered.
BofA stated at one of their seminars recently that you only have to sign up on the free session so you can enter and work with their short sales etc. They do not give any additional creedence to the certification.
It was informative training for the website itself. In terms of giving any edge in obtaining leads etc....or being recognized by the banks and lenders ...NADA
