REO Asset Management companies handle the foreclosure inventory for banks and lenders.  So for example, Chase Bank hires an asset management company, and they will manage thousands of listings for the bank.  The company then divides and conquers, by hiring agents to market and sell the properties for the bank, thus creating the REO listing agent industry, which has become extremely profitable.  REO Agents know the key to success is forming relationships with asset managers.  Having a good contact can begin to drive ways of new business opportunities.  REO Brokers do well selling REOs for banks.  You’re given inventory to sell, and it happens to be the hottest inventory on the market, foreclosures, and you’re there to sell them, usually in 15-30 days.  It’s exciting to see an industry evolve, and as it grows and molds itself further, we will begin to see agents, brokers and vendors specializing uniquely in the REO field.
