Real Estate Experts Serving San Diego answered:
Hello,

We are REO listing agents and yes, we are graded by the lenders.

The first set of grades happen before the property is ever listed. The agent has to determine if the property is vacant and negotiate with the owner/tenant to vacate if it is occupied. If it is vacant, there are a series of tasks for the agent to perform to get it ready to list.

Secondly, REO agents are scored on their ability to assess the physical condition of the property, make recommendations for repair, the speed at which repair bids are submitted and the time frame for the work to be performed.

Thirdly, there are a wide variety of reports due to the lender, some monthly, some weekly and some as requested. REO agents are graded on the speed of the turn around, the quality of the information and the completeness of the information.

The agent must then submit their Price Opinion for the property and give supportive evidence for the price being recommended. All priced are subject to property condition. In other words, if the home is in very poor, good or excellent condition. Most REO properties are selling at 100% of list because they are listed at the current market value.

Once the property is listed, offers must be submitted within the bank's required time frame and then negotiated with the buyer's agents. The bank also relies on the agent as to which offer is the most likely to close. The agent is also graded on the peoperty closing on time.

There are many elements involved and many think this is "easy money". We assure you it is not.

Best regards,

Mark and Kari Shea
