Legal Updates
* For the exclusive
use of NRBA members Join
Today! |
| In order to better
serve our members, the NRBA tries to provide pertinent
and up-to-date information on the legal aspects of
listing and selling REO properties. These articles are
intended for informational purposes only and are not to
be construed as legal opinions or advice. For definitive
answers and counsel, we recommend that you consult a
qualified attorney in your area.

Technical
News
* For the exclusive
use of NRBA members Join
Today! |
| As part of our
effort to help our REO brokers/members become more
productive—and therefore, more successful—one of the
major goals of the NRBA is to help bridge the distance
between brokers, bankers, and servicers by identifying
new technologies and suggesting appropriate
implementation of these cutting-edge (if sometimes
intimidating) tools. We believe that this will result in
each of us becoming much more efficient and effective in
our respective endeavors, with added cost savings to
all. |
| |
| The real estate
community as a whole has been one of the slowest to
adopt new technologies. Unfortunately, even basic
computer skills are foreign to many agents and brokers.
For those who are still resisting computer technology,
we recommend that you start practicing the phrase "Would
you like fries with that?"—because that's about the only
job that you will still be qualified for in the coming
years if you don’t get onboard quickly. |
|
| Here at the
NRBA, we are going to provide you with as much
information, advice and support as we possibly can
concerning computers, printers, digital cameras,
software, and electronic transfer. We are also going to
try and make it as painless as possible for you. Our
computer-savvy staff and members are a much better
resource than the average computer store salesmen, not
only because we are familiar with the REO business, but
also because most of us had to learn everything the hard
way--by trial and error. We know what works and what
doesn't. |
| |
| Furthermore, since
we accept no advertising or endorsements and (even more
importantly) are a private organization, we can say
exactly what we think about a given product without
having to worry about repercussions--unlike certain
other "trade" magazines, whose technology sections will
tell you everything about a product except whether or
not it actually works! |
| |
| While our ratings
and evaluations may not always result in the best
theoretical method possible, you may be certain that
they will produce the easiest and most cost-effective
one! Our goal is to help you move more properties, not
to make you into a computer genius. For that reason, we
place a heavy emphasis on utilizing solutions that have
the lowest possible learning curve. It is our feeling
that the easiest solution for our members to learn is
usually the best one for them. |
| |
| Computers |
| Laptop or desktop
or both—what do we really need? Surprisingly, the
majority of us do not need the latest machines with the
fastest chips. The programs and tools that we use in our
business are relatively simple and can be run on a very
basic system. Learn exactly what you do and don't need
and what you should be paying for it. |
|
| Digital
Cameras |
| A must if you want
to excel in the REO Business. What they are, how they
work, different types & models, features you need,
and what you should spend. How to set it up so that they
pay for themselves in a few weeks. |
| |
| Printers |
| Color &
B&W, different types, models, features, and costs.
What you should have and what you should spend to get
it. |
| |
| Networking |
| Just as the
internet has allowed the national economy to skyrocket
to new heights, you, too, can achieve huge boosts in
speed and productivity for both you and your assistants
with the addition of an office network. Would you be
surprised to learn that you can network 2-4 computers
for less than $100 and that it's easy enough that you
can set it up yourself in under an hour? |
| |
| Electronic Transfer |
| The hottest new
concept in the industry, “electronic transfer” may be a
very complicated-sounding term, but it is surprisingly
simple to implement. Find out what it is and how it
works. Which banks and servicers are already using it.
How to use it as a marketing tool to get new accounts.
Best of all, it's cheap and easy to get started.
|
| |
| Fax
Machines
|
| This is the one
item that most REO brokers overlook and never really
think about. After all, why should they? The broker has
plenty of fax machines around the office, right? There
are plenty of reasons to have your own fax machine.
Here's what's out there and what you'll need.

Computerized BPO Forms
* For the exclusive use of NRBA members Join Today! |
The National REO Brokers Association provides products and solutions to make life easier for those engaged in the listing & selling of REO properties.
Here you will find forms created to the specifications of almost every major bank and servicer. Tired of the slow speed and awkwardness of typewriters, and of trying to fill in all those tiny blanks? Now you can produce BPOs in a flash. Save them, search and recall them at any time, and even send them to your client electronically.
|
|
Additional Bank Forms (Microsoft Word 97© or higher required.)
* For the exclusive use of NRBA members Join Today! |

| The NRBA Members Forum is meant to

other, give advice and counsel, and, most importantly, "network for business!" Let's keep the
comments clean and in good taste and, above all, no trashing
of other members or reps—it will get back to
