I've tried customizing Top Producer as well to work with my REO listings...I just don't logon to it everyday to actually follow through on. That's something that i need to work on.

Experimenting with Mantikos. It does have a lot of pluses, however, one detraction that I have not found a solution to yet is setting up a recurring task for things such as drive by inspections and MMRs. You can schedule things starting from Day 0 and then an event on Day 30, however, if you want something to start at the beginning of the month it does not have that autmomatic capability.

The actions plans are customizable and tasks are assignable to different members of your team. The only other thing I noticed that bugs me is the last update happened in July 2004. It's a thorough system, however, and is web based. The first seven days are free on a trial subscription. We're doing the demo on REO Maestro this coming week. I'm curious to see how it compares.

Has anyone heard of Relay? It's currently being offered through our MLS system Matrix and looks pretty slick for transaction management. Anyone?

I have just started using REO Maestro. It looks pretty good so far, just takes some work to get set up on it in terms of loading info into the system. It keeps documents on my computer organized so I can find them quickly.

The only bad thing about them is:They control your database i.e. REO Maestro...it is a web driven software, I would like to own my information not the software provider.

I have recommended REO Maestro before and I will do it again. I am up to over 350 properties and could not have done it without this software application. I checked them all out and they have it all.

REO Maestro is not "web driven". you load it on your computer, but it somehow connects to the internet and works like its web drive. you get to pick where you store your forms, pictures, bpo's, contracts, etc. I keep them on my own server.

Actually part of it is web driven.

Part of it is web driven but it's not difficult to get that information from Maestro to your hard drive. The biggest detraction we saw to REO Maestro was the set up and getting web drive to work. We struggled with that application for a couple of weeks. After we got that under control, it became much easier to work with.

The pluses that I love about it are the MMR reminders (valuable) and transaction coordination (priceless). The monthly fee is what it is. I'd prefer a bit of software that we pay for once and it is totally offline (like an Agent Office) but since none exists at the moment this will do.

I have been using WinREO.net for a few months. We have many REO listings, and it is a good one. More functionality than Maestro, and a better price.

I have started using my reo office and so far it works well. I am having trouble keeping all my tasks straight for fannie - since there is no task list with them, and it has helped out big time. Cheap too.

I use ebrokerhouse.com for alot of things, inventory control, reimbursements, contacts, offers and now we are imputting our buyers and using it for "inventory" for the buyer's agents on our team. It really is developing into being a very powerful tool AND it's reasonable, less than $400 a year.
