Frank Patrick, Property Preservation and Trash Out Specialist, recently discussed how high foreclosure rates will continue through 2013, creating many opportunities for REO agents and brokers

Scottsdale, Ariz. – September 14, 2010 – Frank Patrick, foreclosure trash-out and reo specialist, recently wrote an article discussing how the REO agents and brokers should prepare for huge opportunities. Frank explains that Lender Processing Services (LPS), the country’s leading provider of mortgage processing services and the company that most of the largest U.S banks rely on for data, says the boom in REO listings is very far from over…and stated that the foreclosure crisis probably won’t be over until late 2013.

In the article published on http://www.ASREOS.com, called “REO Listings: Foreclosures Will Dominate Through 2013,” Frank explains how Kyle Lundstedt, managing director of LPS applied analytics, using 15 years of data (from 1996-2010) looked at the housing market bubble and the impact of that bubble bursting.

Frank writes, “He (Lundstedt) also said REO professionals need to be prepared for the massive amount of listings that will continue to come on to the market.  REO homes are some of the most sought-after values in real estate today, both by seasoned investors and first-time home buyers.”

“Besides the current huge number of REO homes on the market, Lundstedt also pointed to the fact that home mortgages that are 90 days or more delinquent, in foreclosure, or already in REO, will continue to rise,” continued Frank.
