They could send me 100 of those a day.

I don't think you need to go out to the house or anything else. The form looks simple enough. I would like them to send me 50 or so per day to make it worth my while...wishful thinking!

you'll can have mine. they want to steal access to what I pay big bucks for: license fees, MLS fees, local board fees, state fees, national Realtor fees...etc . From these responses, people are more desparate than I thought.

One can only hope this doesn't go "auto assign".......

One order should only take you five minutes. I'll take a dollar a min. I'm here to make money not pass it by. If I did one of these a day thats like a free lunch every day for 5 mins worth of work. Then it might lead to the BPO being sent to you on auto-assign.

I don't have a problem doing these.....just want the choice to accept or reject like they do when they blast......As an example, I got buried today in orders from 4 different companies.....would not have time to turn the $5 ones in 24 hours.....just give me a choice.....

If you do a high volume of BPOs, you know it never works out that way. There are always issues; I don't know what they will be but I am sure these type of orders will have some quirky issue that gets them sent back by QC. I remember thinking, "$50 bucks isn't bad you go drive , photograph and give a value on a property." Then I started to discover the problems that come up...the house doesn't have a number on it, the street sign is missing, your GPS can't find the address....so on. so on.....These "easy" orders may indeed turn out to be quick and easy. But maybe not. It is a further attempt by these companies to squeeze more and more out of field agents and pay less and less. People.....please don't sell your skills for a nickel!

Heh, I will do all of these they want to send me! This is as simple as opening up paragon & clicking on the listing history. Simple.

No, I am not desperate.

I can do these sitting at a stop light, for gosh sakes. Send me as many as my little computer screen can hold, please.

And no, I'm not desperate either - just savvy.

I'll take all they will offer.

I do a very high volume of BPO's. I have a team. Yeah a team. What issue can come up when your just looking to see listing history? If you know how to work your MLS I don't see any problems. If can see some I would love to hear them?

I see somebody on here knows how to make money. Good job TX. I love it!!!

By the time I hit submit on this post I could have had one completed and almost enough to buy a pack of cigarettes.

I will do them..As long as I am sitting here on the phone with somebody or waiting on something. But, I really doubt you will see too many of these. Maybe I am wrong ad we will...who knows. It is not a bigt deal one way or the other to me. I mean if they sent ten over I could do them while I am waiting on my wife to get ready for dinner...
