I find this one funny (except for the suggestions of doctoring photos to make them look like different ones).

We've had people (edited- NOT CC)call us to explain why we have "wood stove" for heat source or "gravel" for road surface. I guess in some areas, heating with wood sounds barbaric and they think gravel means the driveway (what driveway? you park there where the grass ain't growin'!)

Cool tarp! Maybe they can sell 'em on ebay when they're done...

Haven't had any problem with CC. They have not asked for any additional info on properties condition or value. Have done close to 300 inspection since hurricane. Only problem I have with them is new agent in area has someone sit by his computer all day doing refresh. This is starting to keep me out of the loop. The agent is online here and appears not to know what he is doing, he does not know the market and is always looking for the easy way out.

I've come to expect at least one clarification on every order. However, it is usually quickly 'clarified' and approved. They are very careful, and I guess that's why they do such business, and why we all scramble for their orders. We know they pay and pay quick. I don't mind a question or two.

Me Too!.... I got a clarification to "upgrade the condition!"


"A Diamond In The Rough!!!"--

I thought it was just me, that thought these clarifications were odd...

The way CC broadcasts their orders has only fed a race to the bottom with fee's and quality. They want fast and cheap but don't realize that quality isn't cheap or fast. They now offer $11 for PI's in my area and agents are still chasing them. I turned them down when they were $20, hell I wouldn't take a picture of my own home and e-mail it to them for $20.

If you want to work for CC stay logged into the website and check for new orders as often as it will let you. That's the only way to beat the e-mail system.

Miss Bea, you need to find a better market! LOL! Is this for real? The junker in the front yard is worth more than the house. And the landscaping needs attention!

Target, I wouldn't take a picture of my own anything for $20! Hilarious!

CC-I have never found a way to check for work on their site. Can you actually do this? reps I talked too always said that all orders go thru email only???

Angie, it (CCs web site) doesn't have a search feature but if you stay logged in or log in frequently, the order pops up on the site before the e-mail appears in your in box. The e-mail takes a little time to make through their system and once out in cyber space your e-mail provider takes a little time to put in in you in box. All the time the order is active waiting for the first person to grab it.

Wow!!What A beauty if all houses looked like that in my area appreciation would be up 20 percent and they would be selling like hotcakes!!
Maybe if they include the car in the sale the buyer would pay closing costs when they buy it.lol

Where I'm from we call those hunting shacks!

lol, that would go for mid to high 100's in my area

Ben, I need a "clarification!" :>)---

Did you read the post "Watch What You Say" in this forum, right above yours? Well, I quess I've cooked my goose with CC!!!

I know there is a CC person who lurks this board and I talk with him. I'm not shy about letting them know when I call that something was ridiculous. Should have heard me when they asked for a clarification on a BPO and the other agent didn't use real comps!

oooooh...maybe that's why I haven't received a request...oh well..to bad.

As a whole, I was enjoying the assignments and I thought that it would be a good sideline. But, then when they stopped sending out the requests, I started registering with other cos., and to date, never heard anything back from them. I have decided that I can't depend on this for income either. It's one thing to be in a competitive business, but this is a bit much. An agent here described how to go to the CC website, and catch the order before it gets sent to your email because you're losing time by catching in the email (seconds??) I need work, true, but I think this process of filling work orders is a bit demeaning. It reminds me of throwing a bone in to a pak of hungry wolves!!

I think I'll find something else to do real estate related for a sideline in between sales.

Any suggestions would gladly be appreciated. Sales are slowwww.

Around here, that would not even qualify as a storage shed
