Not everyone is as smart as you are to have had the wonderful insight and foresight that you possess; no matter what your background is, how long you've been in the real estate business, how many BPO's you do per day or how many REO listings you carry right now, you deserve a round of applause and I'll be the first to stand up and give you a standing ovation.
Each time I speak in front of a crowd of fellow BPO and REO Agents I try to go out of my way to congratulate them just as I'm doing now within this blog. Being able to be in this business is such a big deal!
No one will argue with me when I mention that this business is without a doubt so highly competitive, while at the same time a good challenge for those who love stiff competition and thrive on being challenged. Many would say that it is a very cutthroad, brutal business at times and yet I bet those same people would also tell you that's it also very rewarding overall....even with all of the trying times and things that happen to you throughout the normal course of a day while doing your job. Plus, when it comes down to it, I bet most of you wouldn't want things any other way.
You are a hearty bunch that's for sure and if I had my way I'd make it possible for you to: get paid more with each order you do, not force you to do work at night nor on the weekends, so that you can spend more time with your loved ones, and most of all I'd provide all of the hardworking, straight-shooting BPO and REO Agents with enough consistent work that would leave you feeling good at the end of the day for a job well done, as well as I would ensure that I'd pay you enough so you can pay ALL of your bills...each and every month.
I sincerely want to take a moment to applaude each and every one of you for all of the good things that you do each and every day and wish you continued success through the ups and downs in the business. Great job on picking a fantastic niche to carve your own path through! I hope it serves you as well as it has done for me.
I know that most of you don't get told often enough good job for all that you invest of yourself in your BPO and/or REO business. Keep in mind that what you do matters greatly! Thank you for contributing and for doing your part!
Warmly,
Nicole Ocean
Hi there everybody,
My name is Nicole Ocean, co-owner of BPO Automation Group and President of Nicolesdreams eBooks. You may have heard all of the buzz recently about auto-accept software and BPO automation software that helps BPO and REO Agents automate the data entry side of their BPO orders and monthly reports for their REO properties.
I'm extremely excited with how the BPO Automation Group has quickly become a force to be reckoned with when it comes to helping BPO and REO agents automate and streamline their businesses.
Some of the ways that we stand out is in the fact that I am a certified real estate instructor and BPO trainer. I've done BPO's full-time for years and still am in the business to this day. I know the business because of being in the business. I personally use the automation software (iMacros) and our own in-house software application called the Auto Accepter for my own BPO orders. (There is no way I'd do an order without it anymore!)
I started this company by taking things upon myself and learning everything from the ground up. I'm the type of person that enjoys learning how everything works. Because of this, it took me about 6 months to teach myself the iMacros software and how to apply it to automate filling in BPO and REO orders as well as how to apply the concepts and features within the software to create auto-accept macros. Let me also mention that I am not a programmer, but after a year of investing myself I feel like I have become an expert at the iMacros software.
Within the last month our team has put together amazing tools that have helped advance our business and be able to offer amazing solutions to issues such as: MLS data clean up (Check out our MLS Tune Up tool!), custom macro creation for Word based BPO's, as well as monthly marketing reports [MMR's for your REO properties} custom data extraction, and lots more. We have even been able to help out appraisers too!
One of our biggest advances we made recently is by being able to offer our complete directory of over 115+ master macros for 35+ BPO and REO companies. All of our customers have access to use any or all of the macros that we offer right away as they need them. We are able to offer this within our Sync Tool. We often get asked if our system is compatible with a certain MLS, we now can guarantee that our system is compatible with any MLS and I do mean ANY MLS! (Plus, if we don't have a company you need macros for we will create it for you for no extra charge! We are adding more companies, more macros and auto-accept macros to our directory every few days).
Other ways that we strive for excellence is by offering the absolute best products and solutions available anywhere. We also have a high regard in providing the best customer service experience possible for our customers. (We have a team of 7 people and are expanding to a new office to help keep up with the demand).
I'd like to personally invite you to check out our website or to sign up for a live demonstration that we put on each week. Come join me on Friday's at 10 am PST as I showcase our signature 'one-click' macro, how we work, what to expect and show you how you can benefit from hiring us to help automate and streamline your BPO and REO business.
When people sign up with us they get their life back! Stop working nights and weekends on BPO and REO reports. Check in automating your business. Please take a few minutes to stop by our website and watch a demo to see how easy it can be to take your business to the next level and take control over your time for good!

I want to take a few moments to personally thank everyone who signed up for my Coach-A-Thon call last week with the NFSTI REO Masters Network.
The session drew a big crowd and I found it exciting to be able to share my knowledge, insights and tips into bpo automation software with everyone.
I was blown away by all of the fantastic questions that people asked throughout the session and the host Scott McLaine of NFSTI REO Masters Network was inspiring and a very articulate host.
Lastly, congratulations to the 5 people who won one of our newly released BPO Automation Group's Auto-Accepter software. (A $499.99 Value per Auto Accepter). This was the highlight of the call for me and I look forward to more sessions like these.

Come hear me speak live on a conference call about "BPO Automation Made Simple and Profitable."
I'll be sharing inside tips and tricks so that you can learn how to benefit from automating your BPO and REO orders. I'll also be discussing auto-accept software on the call. You will not want to miss this.........
Come join me on Wednesday September 2nd at 12 pm PST (3 pm EST)
In case you are not aware of me or what I do, my name is Nicole Ocean. I am a certified real estate instructor here in Washington state. Plus, I've am also in the BPO and REO business and help educate others all over the U.S. about the BPO and REO business.
Within the business side of my life, I've got three main passions. The top one is to help educate, inform and train others in the BPO and REO business about Broker Price Opinions. The second is being lucky enough to be as much involved in the BPO business as I possibly can. Lastly, helping spread the word about how BPO and REO agents can streamline and grow their businesses by using automation software.
Before moving on any further, let me also quickly tell you thanks for taking the time to read this blog. My intention in writing this is to help you learn more about exactly which companies have taken a stand against continuing to let their BPO and REO Agents use Auto-Accept tools or software to automatically retrieve more BPO orders.
Over the last year that I have been blessed to be an authorized reseller of iMacros software. Nine months ago, I perfected an auto-accept feature within the iMacros software where our clients can use an auto-accept macro that we custom make for them, for any company that we have an auto-accepts macro available.
Many of our clients jumped on board by hiring us to custom make macros to fill in the data entry side of their Broker Price Opinion and REO orders. Plus, many also order our custom made auto accepts. (So far we have auto-accepts for dozens of BPO and REO companies out there and are adding more each week.)
On this note, I want to specifically point out something important to you. Our opinion at the BPO Automation Group is that the auto-accept feature is seen as a bonus to what we are able to provide to our clients. We fill that the auto-fill side of our business is our main focus and our 'bread and butter.' (In fact, people that use our signature 'one click' macro find that it is almost as good as finding a long-lost hidden treasure chest at the very bottom of the deepest part of the ocean.)
Within the last few months we have seen how a few specific companies made an announcement to all of their BPO and REO vendors.
Thankfully, our clients have helped to keep us up to date about 3 companies in that have specifically requested that their BPO and REO vendors not use any type of auto-accept tool or software.
The main premise of their announcement (that was sent out specifically by eMortgage Logic, Mark to Market and REOtrans.com,) was this warning:
If they find out that you are using an auto-accept tool, software or outside company (such as: BPO Hunter) where you gain more orders and are able to accept more orders automatically, they have threatened that they will fire you.
I've personally had dozens of conversations with some of our customers and various anonymouse people in the business who called in to share their own personal experience with this particular issue.
What I've heard the most from these people was three main things:
I'm not sure if all of this is a trend, but I can tell you that I've always felt that it would be more beneficial if each company that assigned BPO's would give out BPO orders to agents based on their rank and rating, instead of broadcast their orders to the masses.
Please let me know your thoughts, opinions and questions about anything within this blog! I'm here to help, just let me know how I can serve you!
Warmly,
