I did the 'show and tell' on Friday with REO Maestro. It is an amazing program. My question to them was is it compatible with Quickbooks. My question never got answered due to the length of the training (2.5 hrs) and I had to go!! But it looks like something I could sink my teeth into and have it up and running in no time...well, maybe some time and effort. It appears to be something that can be set up in stages, which would work for me. I am still checking out Fergus Research. It, too, looks like a great program. Fergus has a 30 day trial period, too.

To all of you REO Agents looking for an affordable yet easy to use online software to manage those reo properties. I found a great application with no need to download small applications. Access the info from wherever. The price of this program is $99.00 per month with unlimited assistants and unlimited amount of properties. No other charges but a one time setup fee $49.00. You can send an email to info at myrems dot com . I think they are offering a reduction in price at $74.99 per month if you sign up for a year.

I agree with original post TazaREO looks like some good software for REO Management.

http://tazademo.com/FAQ.aspx

I just spoke with Larry Duffin at TazaREO and this software looks very good. They already have some national Property Preservation companies using the software. He has offered to put on a Webinar for forum members 12-11-2008 (Thursday at 9:00 PST), to demo the online software.

There is a setup fee and monthly fee involved, but for anyone handling more then 15 REOs or plan on grow in 2009, the usage of this software could warrant the costs involved.

He is limited to 15 people on the Webinar, so the first 15 to send Larry an email message <larry.duffin@tazacorp.com> will get signed up for the Webinar.

TazaREO offers (per my understanding)...

- Easy add new property (only 4 fields required)
- Setup tasks
- Setup vendor tasks with email notices and tracking
- Share file folders (upload and local file access)
- Photo file re-sizing
- Expense tracking
- Send-receive emails
- Allow remote vendors to upload photos and files into drop folders (within each property profile) with no login required.

And, a lot more... I suggest you sign up for the Webinar, if your interested in learning more.

We are currently trying to re-structure our team and looking for new software as well as tips on team structure. Is anyone willing to share tips on team operation and workflow issues? When we implement REO management software, do we need to hire a software manager? We have a team of 10, field people and vendors. Please help!!!

I checked out virtually every system out there including:

• Taza REO (good but too expensive)
• REO Maestro
• eBroker House (premature, needs work)
• My REO Office (premature, needs work)
• Aspen iAgent (OK w/low volume but gets costly w/volume)
• REO HQ (OK but you pay per user which gets very costly)

I ended up going with REO Maestro because it has a ridiculous amount of capabilities and was fairly priced. they will soon be adding a module to accommodate short sales too.

The problem I am having is that their support sucks. I cannot speak to anyone via phone or live chat. I have to submit a trouble ticket and wait till who knows when to get a response. I can understand not wanting to field phone calls from idiots who barely know how to shut down their computer but at least make live chat available from 9-5.

This is totally ruining it for me.

I am using WinREO.com to manage our large REO inventory. I find WinREO to be useful for assigning tasks to myself and team members. Takes a bit of time to setup all the rules, but once this is done, the system helps me manage my REO inventory and assistants.

its beginning to taste a lot like spam



new member and 100% of your posts are pushing WinREO




just saying ...


please carry on

Everyone uses something else. I like what I have. My friend uses Maestro. Does not want to try anything else. Hey... this is life. Nothing is perfect for everyone.

We have been managing anywhere from 75 to 120 HUD Homes a month since the beginning of September (we have been, in some for or another, an REO listing broker for about the last 5 to 7 years).. not as much work as say a Fannie, Freddie or some of the other banks, but still has a lot involved..

I looked at all of the ones mentioned above, including BC Connect (which was at the REOExpo in June) and they sound promising, lots of options including designing their software for iPads and Tablets. We are currently with Taza, and like it, but being new to using an actual task oriented system to manage everything, we didn't have any real knowledge of what we needed.

As a company we are still learning a lot and trying to manage everything, but so far Taza has been pretty good to work with. Very eager to add new functions and tweak the system. I think reasonably priced, $99 a month right now.

We are still tweaking the system for our uses but it is going well.

I would say try Taza, or BC Conncet, both seem to work well and have nice options. Also, both have connections to actual asset managers that use their system for tracking. You might end up with extra business out of it..

How about Broker Brain and EBroker House? Is anyone using these systems? Both have 30 day free trial offers and are supposed to be very simple to setup and operate. I've downloaded the Ebroker and have started to import my database, however I'm hearing that Broker Brain is the way to go. Any thoughts and/or opinions on these 2?

Mitch, welcome aboard. We are glad to have you as an eBrokerHouse member.

has anyone used TAZAREO and ebrokerhouse? And which do you prefer and why?

I used to use REO Maestro and it's great but I'm a one man show and I found that it took too much time to input everything and it became more trouble than it was worth. If you have a team it may be different though
