OMG!!! I'm getting SLAMMED with orders due to the floods!!!!

Never heard of RelsValuation. It appears that they are for licensed appraiers only.

Scott

no they are not. You can register as an agent or broker. Most of the orders I got are for flood inspections, I was told it's about 200+

Would you PM me the link?

I can't seem to find anything other than questions/requirements for appraisers. No mention or option for real estate agents/brokers.

Thanks!

Scott

Shhhhh.... just go go go... they're prop inspections are the easiest on the block. And they give you a reasonable deadline... expand your area. Pics all day reports all night. Hell maybe I'll fly out and spend a week in a cheap motel

Thanks! I was on the wrong site! I PM'd you as well, so disregard!

Scott

Hey Gary! I was kinda shocked when I asked how many, and he told it was due to the floods. I know the area very well and have family that has property in that region. When he told me 200+ I said send all you have! Yes they are property inspections, so I don't mind very easy to do, just get a system together and go! I'm renting a huge Dodge Ram 1500 to go around and take the pics. And Rels pays very fast!

GPS, if you don't have it already, buy one... well I guess if you know the area maybe you can do without. But even in areas I know well it helps me get a good route. I'd want a good system for identifying the pics too. I think my camera can ad a voice note to a pic, I've never used it...but taking that many I would.

Happy hunting!

I had a GPS system that I sold to another agent, since I now have a Blackberry with googlemaps on it...I sent the GPS system to her(in good faith thinking she would pay me) and the agent(theif) never sent me payment! What a crook she is! Plan on suing her...attorney working on it now, since it's out od State..

My "high tech" system for identifying the pics is:

I always take a "blank" photo in between properties. That way, I know that the blank photo is a separator. I just take a pic of the inside of my camera bag & it shows up dark. Works great for me. Of course, I have my list of properties pre-organized and in order prior to leaving the office.

I'll 2nd the GPS recommendation!!! I love mine and it makes it so much easier.

Good luck on the 200+!! Did they ask for a discount due to the volume or is it standard pay?

Scott

standard property inspection fee

I have extended my area on a number of web sites for BPOs & now need a GPS. Which one does anyone recommend? Thanks in advance for any info you may provide

What about having your property addresses written on index cards. Then after taking all pics of the property, take a pic of the index card as a separator between properties.
I wonder if we'll get slammed with BPOs here if a nice big hurricane rolls through this year.

I use a Garmin Street Pilot C320 & love it!

The Tom Tom is also good.

I used to do it that way until I bought the BEST camera for doing bpo's the SONY FD MVC-FD75. You can buy one on ebay under $100. It uses floppy disk....So each property I shoot has its own labeled disk and I never have to resize because of its low quality under 1 mega pixel.

This camera is my hot tip for the week....spend a $100 you'll be glad you did.

I stand by my Garmin IQue3600 because it doubles as my Palm and it's pretty cheap. Functions great too. (P.S. Notice a trend here??? Garmin is the name in GPS and fish finders)

Floppy disk?????

I had a computer that used those once.

your so right SONY FD MVC-FD75 works great. last one cost me 90 bucks.

Thanks for the GPS recommendation. It's my next purchase. Gas is getting too expensive to just drive around!
