Ummm, I am one person who can tell you that I am a solo team that does everything myself and does not farm out anything! Now I suppose one could debate what is a high volume BPO broker? Since I am not seeing an actual number in your post, does that mean my 40-50 a week production qualifies as that in your opinion?

I do all this at a slight cost of having little spare time, but I gladly exchange that knowing that I am not living a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. At the same time I thank my lucky stars for that knowing that can change at anytime. My six day a week work ethic helps me to keep my production up, even at times of feeling a little burned out.

Shana, I sense that you are a very opinionated person. There is nothing wrong with that. Yet don't try to put everyone in the same category without really knowing them. It's what I would call that prejudice, as you are pre-judging them.

Please keep to the topic and play nicely or the post will be closed.

Thanks!

$100,000 / $56.50 (avg of 1 drive by at $49 & 1 interior at $64) = 1,770 BPOs / 365 days in a year = 4.9 BPOs/day -- and lots of you say you can do 7-12 BPOs a day (yeah, right) so there ought to be some people earning twice that.

Oh lets play nice folks and get back to being proferssional.

Everyone has to find their niche in this bussiness. Like any profession we have dirt bags/scam artist and we have professionals. Bpo's are not for everyone. Myself the retail side would drive me crazy (well more nutty then I am for doing BPO's for as along as I have). But doing the retail side being at the whim of a buyer or seller was not for me. Sure we all wish for the fee's us old timers at the BPO biz would get in the good ole days. We either move with them market or the market passed by. Of course ethicaly. It really comes down to a personal choice. To continue in this bussiness or not. But the choice of working with ethics has always been in place when fee's were great or peanut fee's, some had ethics & some did not. The key now is to work smarter, but still with ethics. I'm sure we all have had to retool our way of doing things. I remember a just 6-7 years back talking with several agents about REO's and how they would not lower themselves to handle a listing for the banks at an insulting $1000 minimum. It a choice to work or not work in this.
All of us in the REO/BPO side of things are not to be painted with a broad stroke of unethical dirtbags..

So now can we can we all now play nice agian.

Just my 2 cents.. we'll it was more like my dimes worth.
