To Become an REO Agent it takes more than just contacting the banks REO Departments. The banks will make you run through hoops just to talk with the correct person, only to find out that you have to submit an "Application"
Many other banks do this and not just the Countrywide REO Agent department. The fact is that if an Agent had 12 months of experience listing REO listings then the agent would probably already know who to speak with an have a great deal of new Bank Owned listings. That is the catch, you are looking for a place to start only to find out you need experience. It is a viscous loop that is virtually impossible to achieve any ground.
Instead of paying Companies 299.00 like a few that are out there in order just to be "Listed" in their directory - which banks never even look at, there are now real programs available to educate Agents and get the Agents in front of REO Servicing companies and Banks.

In 2008 and 2009, REO Agent commissions are expected to double, if not tripple, over the average Commissions of 2007 ($117K).
Motivated Agents should be looking into the REO niche and completely understand the steps of Bank Owned Properties to take their Agent business to the next level.
