Bad BPO agents= High numbers

I have this one company/ BPO agent that consistently has extremely high BPOs and is messing up all my deals. Do you have this problem? What do you do about it?

If not, what have you done to avoid this? What advice do you have for me to combat them doing my BPOs?

Thanks

COUNTER from SunTrust Mortgage ...

SunTrust Mortgage countered with 450,000 to my offer of 310,000 which was 5,000 above list price.

Has anyone been successful in getting…

We cannot overstate how hard Mike worked on our behalf

Rock Realty Client Testimonials



"We found Mike online, and, due to positive reviews, phoned him with a request to view houses in the Madison area.

We were hunting for houses long distance, so we would wait until an opportunity to travel to Madison presented itself, phone Mike,…

2 title issues: NON Filled Consolidation and 1st with citi (approved to close) and second with citi on title ?????

it seems that with the craze to refinance in 2005-6-7 the lack of procedure has gone out the window. I have no CLEAR TITLE due to consolidation paperwork not filed.

ANY SUGGESTIONS? I have two approved short sales (one with citi the other with BoA) that cant close because of title.
