Re: New Work open house/auction - Victoria

What do you mean by "open house" and "auction"?

Auction: Must mean bids are involved and I'm not thinking they will be the "highest" bids for the job.

Re: New Work open house/auction - Victoria

These are homes that have been foreclosed on and a person does preservation work, pictures of inside, and exterior, place bid on work that needs to be done on property. ie; this is with A 2 Z field services. You get paid for doing the initial assessment and evaluation. If your bid is to their liking you will also get that work. Use me as a reference. I have worked with this company a long time.

With NESCTC they work with the Auctioneer company. Which is usually Williams and Williams
You open the homes, turn on lights, open windows if necessary, and put out the sign up sheet, along with the flyers. When guess come you have them go in home and eval. for auction to see if they want to bid on home or not. Easy work. Pay is good for 4 hours of work. Then on auction day be available 2 hours before auction, open home, etc, assist with the auction if auctioneers wants you to help. Introduce yourself to them upon arrival. They will usually let you know if they need your help. Very easy work for 4 hours pay. Very good pay for the work involved. Check this company out I am sure you will be pleased with the customer service and their business tactics. Use me as a reference. That is how good they are, I would not tell you to use me as a reference if they were not a good company.

Re: Real Estate folks...I'm curious...how does this

I don't work with the real estate company on this part. I only do the eval. and assessments, pictures, etc. the homes are put up for auction I am done with the work. No notarizing involved or docs to print. This is just extra work for people if they are interested, since work is slow. Check them out or if you know someone who need to work. thanks

Things that make ya go hmmmmm.....

I was wondering the same thing, Brenda.
Now it sounds as if the poster is doing what equates to a BPO.
A BPO is a Broker Price Opinion, and are done by realtors.
But, I know many realtors who have non-realtors do much of
the work for a percentage of the fee.
From Answers.com:

Estimate of probable selling price of a residential property based on selling prices of comparable properties in the area or a drive-by inspection, often used by a mortgage servicer as an alternative to a full property Appraisal when a loan is placed in default or loan terms are modified. Also called comparative market analysis.

Re: TN....use what E&O??

Call the companies and ask them what type of ins. is required. This would be your best source. I don't really see what will happen unless a person got hurt or something like that while there at the site.

You said "Use your E&O"....I'd assume (which will get me in trouble every time) that you weren't referring to the Notary E&O Insurance that we all carry since that only covers notarial errors.

Re: Real Estate folks...I'm curious...Brenda...

I could be wrong but I think these are properties that are going up for foreclosure auction...no R.E. Agents involved at this point...it's the Court-Appointed Committee or auctioneer conducting the foreclosure sale. Prospective buyers are allowed access to the property to inspect an hour or two prior to the sale starting - they sign up to bid...

At least that's my experience and I think that's what she's talking about.

It clearly states on A2Z Field Inspections website that you

need to have General Liability and provides a link to get you a quote. Rules me out!

Re: Real Estate folks...I'm curious...how does this

As a Realtor, I can tell you this: in many cases, foreclosed homes don't have lights to turn on. Not because the electric service has been cut off, but because the lights aren't there anymore. They've been removed, along with the appliances, electric outlets, toilet, copper piping, etc...

Sounds like a cushy job the way it was described, but I stay away from foreclosures... too much of a headache.
