Frank Patrick, Property Preservation and Trash Out Specialist, recently discussed how the REO industry is currently one of the few growth opportunities in America.

Scottsdale, Ariz. – December 6, 2010 – Frank Patrick, foreclosure trash-out and reo specialist, recently wrote a blog discussing why training to become an REO agent is still an amazing opportunity for anyone needing a new career.  “There are so many REO listings that need to be handled, and there are going to be so many more in the coming months that REO agents and brokers are going to continuously be in high demand,” writes Frank Patrick.

In the blog published on http://www.ASREOS.com, called “The REO Inventory Grows – And So Does The Business Opportunity,” Frank explains, “The trick is REO sellers want people who know what they’re doing. And that’s why I founded ASREOS (the American Society of REO Specialists) a few years ago.  With over ten years of experience as a top national REO agent and coach, I wanted to put together the first REO professional association run by people who knew the REO business inside out.”
