Contrary to popular belief, purchasing an asset manager contact list to launch your REO business can be quite beneficial. Recently, NFSTI began an intensive research study to better understand what it would take to get a licensed real estate agent launched successfully as an REO specialist. Then, we looked into longevity of the business to see what it would take to continue reaping the benefits of this niche over years, not months. Here is part of the results discovered:
- As stated in previous blogs, we believe that 2009 is going to be a historical landmark in REO history. It may go down as the biggest year REO has ever seen.
- Breaking into the industry is still possible, but challenging.
- Asset management companies are facing an overload of assignments that they will need quality REO specialists to assist with.
- Asset managers, as a whole, are open to new vendors and see them as a greater value as long as they are trained properly.
- Training is becoming more and more critical to the REO business.
- Purchasing an asset manager contact list can offer a great payoff if utilized properly in a professional manner.
- Being forthright with the source of a contact is the best approach to breaking the ice.
- Offering top-notch business in the form of accurate timelines, accurate valuations, cutting-edge national marketing campaigns, and a strong network of both colleagues and consumers are the most highly-valued characteristics of an upcoming REO agent.
- Property disposition and short days-on-market can be improved through strong online marketing campaigns through websites such as; Trulia, RealtyTrac, ActiveRain, Google Base, Craigslist, and Twitter.
- An increase in online consumers has demanded an increase in technology knowledge.

NFSTI recommends a fresh asset manager contact list through a reputable company. One company that we recommend based on independent research is REO Intelligence. If you have any feedback on this company we would greatly appreciate it.
Are these lists woth it, if most asset managers stay at their job for about 1 year max? Most go to different companies to get higher pay.
If you get the right lists (REOIntelligence.com) then you’ll get the freshest list of contacts possible. It’s clearly not possible to be 100% accurate but that’s not the purpose. The purpose is to increase your chances at getting business.
This weekend in Las Vegas we’re giving out 50 leads to companies that we’re 100% sure are still hiring REO agents.

Althea – We had to take down this site thanks to our special hacker friend from Turkey. Thankfully we moved our content to http://www.nfsti.com earlier and everything can be found there (as a matter of fact all you would have found on UniversalREO is a forwarding link to NFSTI). So sorry for this bother. It seems that anyone can be a target for hackers. I assure you that NFSTI is clear – we just had a security specialist comb over it to make sure.
Sincerely,
Dan Waterman
