REO and Short Sale Realtors, losing money...stop whining

I am seeing a trend of Short Sale and REO Realtors whining because they are slow..... Maybe I am jealous of the money you have all made during this time of REO and Short Sales. I never really broke into the REO listings of 50+. I shlepped BPO's for the last few years.But I will say I have worked with many, many Buyers selling your listings and I can tell you, it is about time you worked those listings for the clients ( buyers)

I have been on the other end of this trend, working with buyers who are determined to get the deals on REO and short sale properties. Maybe, while times are slower, the MLS listings will be more accurate, with directions that are accurate, and homes that are cleaned up and don't look trashed. The gravy train is slowing for those that have a back door relationship to Asset Managers and Realtors that are truly commited to clients and selling homes the traditional way will prevail once again...

Do you remember how to list and sell properties the old fashioned way??

Slapping the property on MLS with bad pictures ( or no pictures) and marking a property down systematically until you get an offer is not going to fly in the new normal...

Remember the ridiculous money you have made, came at a price, for millions of homeowners who had to short sell and foreclose because of real hardship....

stop whining.
