Is this a trend, a girl friend of mine just told me she got her first assignment, it's about 35 miles away. She was afraid to reject it because she did not know when the next one would come. I made that mistake last year when i first joined ocwen, should have never rejected - nothing ever since.

Take the assignment, you may need the kudos...

When did you get your recent IMB assignment? Anybody out there feel like they are holding back assets? Thoughts?

Yes, definitely holding back assets. i was getting several a week, many of them i had to reject because they were so far away but then the FDIC went in and the faucet was completely turned off. i finished my default school training more than a month ago. i'm really starting to wonder if i should have paid for the default training.

I've done it for both Wells and IMB... yes its a bummer to shell out the $... but I've more then covered the costs from the vendors requiring it. So long as the vendor requesting it is doing business in your area... I'd do it.

I just finished my default training today! Only the first two basic courses. You know... I'll admit I actually learned some stuff. It was very repetitive, I finished the advanced final exam in 2 minutes with a 97%. I took the course because so many companies are requiring it now. I just want to be ready just in case.

FYI - AMHSI is asking for the certification as well, since the former IMB VP is now with them. Train, Train, Train!!!

AHMSI has not notified me of any such requirement; where did you get that information?

AHMSI... I'm not set up with them... but a rep from there gave me an email address to do so... Have sent the request 2x without a reply. Any feedback on or offline would be great.

I will not be doing the Default School for PAS, IndyMac or AHMSI.
I currently have listings from two of these and recently closed a sale on the other. If they are satisfied with my work we keep going; if they set Default School as another requirement I am that much closer to retirement. It is an expense I will not incur.

I heard from the man itself at the 5 Star conference. He's running the show and he was very clear!!! It is only $500 that will give you more business.

As I indicated in balance of my post, I'm too close to retirement to make that a requirement. I'm already shrinking the area I cover geographically and if a few clients get lost along the way it will give me that much more time to do the rest of life's pleasures! I'm really not looking for more business.

$500 may not sound like much in your part of the world; where I am it can be what is left out of a minimum commission sale that sold co-broke and having a referal out of the listing side.

I heard you free and clear!

I have heard from other sources that AHMSI is hideous to work with...I dont know, I have no experience with them, can anyone confirm or deny? -Renee

mr. F,

if you are dropping out, why do you continue to offer your opinions? they come off to me as slightly bitter.

Maybe just because Mr. F. has these Opinions along with the Time and Willingness to Share them; for which I am Thankful. Everyone comes to these Topics with a different point of view, formed from a different set of Life Experiences. I read the Opinions of those who are Wildly Enthusiastic right along with those whose experience has rendered their opinion somewhat Skeptical or maybe even Jaundiced. Then I form my own. I wouldn't want to stifle any one of them. In a free Country, I wouldn't have it any other way !
