Brother..I feel your pain..truly I do. I keep telling people that Realtors could do 25-30% more business if they just answered the friggin telephone! More pictures..now you're begging..that would mean they would actually have to go out and see the property! It's absolutely amazing that people have money in hand and can't spend it because agents don't conduct "business". Maybe we can talk some business...tell me what you're looking for. We get leads in your neck of the woods from time to time and maybe we can do some work together. Email me at info@realestateradiousa.com and we'll talk.

Most REO listing agents ignore you and are unresponsive. Whenever it is convenient they might follow up on full price cash offers-thats if your lucky! Otherwise you will stay in the "ignore" mode. I actively pursue luxury REO's, $400k+ in the most desirable areas of Miami and even in this market you can expect the same level of customer service :( and pictures? LOL maybe 10% of REO listings have a picture, heaven forbid you might see a listing with 4 pictures-you hit the lottery! If only I could get some of these listings directly from the banks...I'm sure everyone in the industry would appreciate hungry, hardworking, customer service related, and proactive agents...and geez maybe you would actually see a listing with 16 pictures LOL...oh and wouldn't it be nice to get a call answered or returned within an hour or 2?

I have never even had a responce that bad from a bank! Luckily in my area, our main REO agent has employeed a Licensed Staff to assist him wiht processing all of these foreclosure properties. After hearing these horror stories I am very thankful for our seemingly frustrating process, as it is nothing compared to dealing with what is discribed here. What a disaster!

I get almost the same exact messages here. They must all go to the same no customer service training school. Seriously, these REO agents have far to many properties, they can't possibly keep up with them all. They can't address all the offers and many just take the first offer they get. Having multiple offers is a good thing for banks and the market place. Banks moan about their losses yet still continue to work with only a hand full of agents, don't negotiate and drive prices further and further down. Yet we keep throwing government money at them. Where is their incentive to get as much money for these properties as possible? I couldn’t agree more. I get almost the same exact messages here.
