Anyone going this year?

It looks like it is alot of self promoting and self interest. What the heck is the Pinnacle Awards? Who votes? And The Pinnacle Award for the best bank goes to.....LOL.

I am definitely not going to this.

I'm going to attend the Evaluation Solutions Expo

I heard the Evalution Solution Expo that if you attend, you are entered into a drawing to receive your BPO check(s). Do you feel lucky?

Evalation Solutions Expo LMAO! LOL!

LMAO .... oh how funny

Boy, if I were new and having a hard time getting business I sure would go.

I think the old timers here are just trying to trick the new people into not going so they don't take their business away.

Or is it the other way around? ~ I forget

If REO Expo put together a panel including Eval Solutions, Cartel.....etc add your own choices, I would be in the front row. Sort of the same way I would watch a 20/20 interview with Charles Manson.

Nope not going. Just a bunch of money sucking payouts making conferences rich off of newbies.

If brokers/agents took that grand or more and used it on marketing they would get much greater returns.

Hello, all. I'm the CEO at HousingWire, the company that is hosting this year's REO Expo. I read some of the comments here and wanted to dispel some misinformation put forth by Papa Lou and a few others here.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Pinnacle Awards, you might want to check here: http://www.thepinnacleawards.com. The awards are voted on each year by real estate professionals nationwide just like you, and this year our survey universe consisted of more than 60,000 individuals. Our survey data each year spans millions of data points covering agent/broker perceptions of the REO firms they work with.

This is our second year of conducting this unique awards program, and it is the only independent awards program in the nation that gives real estate professionals a chance to rate the firms they do business with. Only 11 winners are recognized as Pinnacle Awards winners across categories such as: best overall outsourcer, best listing practices, best closing practices, and so forth. And again, those winning are based on the ratings provided to us by real estate professionals.

In other words, there is considerably more to this awards program than some here have suggested. It's a program I'm personally very proud of, as we started the Pinnacle Awards one year ago as a way to give real estate pros in this industry a voice they'd not before had. (We'll likely be expanding this program to include BPO ratings within the next year, as well.)

As far as the conference itself, please do check our conference website to see what we've lined up for this year: http://www.reoexpo2011.com.

Thanks much, and best of luck to each of you in building your own businesses!

We bit the bullet and signed up. Several of our outsourcers are having meetings so (since we have never been to REO Expo before) we decided to go.

Got a good deal on airfare and hotel combo so next year I can comment with authority if it was worth it or not.

Best wishes and hope to meet anyone else who is going. Shoot me a PM and we can set up a meet at some time and place.

Best Wishes

I am attending. Debated and debated between REO expo and Five Star and REO expo won this year. I'm going for the meetings too. So I guess I'll be seeing a few of you there.

I'll be going attending as well. Anyone staying @ the Sheraton Fort Worth Hotel. I hope it's not far. I always register way too late to get a room where the event is held at.

Hope to see you all there. Should we wear a white carnation so we can recognise each other.

Heads up guys..... Its super hot out here with no relief in site. Feel like temps are in the 100's. My car temp read 105 yesterday. Can one of you bring some rain with you?
