| In case you have not heard yet, I am a direct consultant & reseller for the automation software. I use the automation software to do all of my own BPO & REO orders. I also use the AUTO-ACCEPT feature (That I mastered and share as a FREE Video Bonus with anyone who purchases my new eBook titled,“All You Ever Wanted to Know About Automating Your BPO Orders.”) as well as how to use the scheduled tasks that I mention within the eBook and within the FREE Video Bonus.
Since setting up the Auto-Accept feature within Countrywide I have doubled the total orders that I am receiving, plus I use it for other sites where I would have missed out on the BPO orders that it snags for me before I’d have a chance to retrieve them manually and risk being beat out by my competitors. On another note, I wanted to let you know that I have been hired to help numerous other BPO & REO Agents all over the U.S. to set them up and help teach them how to use any and all of the features of the automation software. I am able to take my training a step further by connecting with you for a remote access session where I can actually log into your computer (with your permission) and walk you through things while you watch and learn from the comfort of your own office or home computer. I realize that many of you simply don’t have the time, interest or desire to tackle this alone. So, I wanted to make sure you knew that I am here and available to help you! Here are the fees that I charge: 2. Personalized training session using remote access………..$39.99/hour 3. Custom macro creation………..$20.00 per macro. As an incentive to try my macro consulting service, I will provide you with one FREE macro when you order a minimum of 5. Feel free to give me a call to schedule your session or to get a personalized quote today! Warmly, P.S. CLICK HERE TO READ TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST CONSULTING SESSION CUSTOMERS! |
I wanted to write a quick note here because I know of a way that is guaranteed to get lots more BPO’s and a way to automate the data entry side of your BPO and REO orders. You can do all of this by using Automation Software. I talk in depth about it in my eBook and Video on the subject.
I also give step-by-step instructions on How to Use the Automation Software to Auto-accept More Broker Price Opinions orders for you. It works behind the scenes while you are working.
If you haven’t learned about this yet it is one of the most guarded secrets that many TOP Producing REO & BPO Agents use!

P.S. Happy New Year Everybody! I hope my lists helps you grow your BPO and/or REO business in leaps and bounds in 2009!
In the not too distant past, I too have been guilty of using multiple assistants to help me with my BPO orders. My BPO team consisted of this: two people to help me do the data entry side of the BPO orders, with one of my teammates helping by taking photos in a nearby county which was about 30 miles from where I covered. This helped me to expand the territory that I covered as well as have help with the side of my BPO business that I grew to dislike very much….the data entry side.
I had to learn the hard way about what works and what doesn’t. For me it was just too expensive and stressful to manage a team. I found that after almost a year and a half of contracting/outsourcing the data entry and some of the photo taking to others that my profit margin was greatly affected, even with having a steady, consistent flow and high volume of BPO orders.
In my top month, May 2008, we brought in a gross amount of $4,080 and we did over 70 orders that month. After paying all of the overhead and contractor expenses, which was around $1620.00, my net amount was $$2,460.
Although, this is great money considering that I had other people do the part of the work that was very time consuming and what I found to be monotonous (the data entry side), the amount of stress that came along with all of the bookkeeping and management side was over the top at times. So, for me it just wasn’t worth continuing along with this set-up. Then came PLAN B!
I went back to do all of the aspects of the BPO’s myself and quickly found that I dreaded doing the data entry side of my orders and was not looking forward to it, even though the money that I was getting now was more than when I was using outside help.
A few months ago I learned about a way to automate the data entry side of my BPO orders. Since using the software I am able to cut the total amount of time it takes me to do the data entry side of my orders to half. It typically takes me 20-30 minutes to fill in a full BPO order (3 Sold/3 Active and all the basic info), now it takes me around 10-15 minutes to complete the whole thing. This includes pulling the comps and organizing the data. The actual using and running of the automation feature within the software takes just seconds. So the hardest part it picking the comps.
To learn more about how you can automate your BPO and REO orders, I’d like to invite you to check out my website. I’ve just released a new eBook that is entitled, “All You Ever Wanted to Know About Automating Your BPO Orders.”The cost is only $49.99 for the eBook. It will pay for itself easily with the first BPO order you automate.
Do yourself a big favor and come check it out! Especially, if you are currently using an assistant to do the data entry side of your BPO and REO Orders.
Best Wishes,

I Might Get In Trouble For Posting This, But Am Willing to Take the Risk!
I have been putting off writing this blog for a few months because I wanted to be better prepared and to learn as much as I could about an extremely tight lipped tool that helps BPO and REO Agents fully automate doing the data entry side of their BPO orders.
It now has become painfully obvious to me exactly how TOP producing BPO and REO agents are able to do hundreds of BPO’s per week and earn tens of thousands of dollars doing a very high volume of BPO orders. I thought that it was because they had a big team set up and had a huge amount of volume of work. (I am sure this applies to some of these agents, but I venture a bet that the true TOP producers use this automation software and still use assistants to help manage all of their workload)
Before I go much further let me just tell you that if you are reading this blog and actually do BPO yourself, (no matter if you are brand new to the business or a seasoned pro) and you don’t already know about this tool then you will feel like you struck gold. At least that is how I felt when I first learned about it and it has helped bring out a new found enthusiasm for when I do the data entry side of my BPO orders.
Ok, I am not trying to keep you in suspense here, at least not intentionally, so let me jump right into the main course and drive right into what I like to call the ’meat and potatoes’ of my blog.
Here I go, I guess I have officially opened the ‘can’ and I am ready to ‘spill the beans’ onto the table so that I can share them with you. (Just so you know, what I mean when I write the analogy, “spill the beans,” this catch phrase pertains to a specific software application that is available online that you can use to help you set up a way that will automatically fill in the blank spots within your BPO forms.)
I won’t get into too much detail about the software itself here, but want to let you know the basics. There are two main choices of software and software providers that you can use to help you automate your BPO orders and even your monthly reports for your REO listings.
There is a FREE version of the software which is a bit more limiting and you can’t use it to fully automate filling in all of the data entry side of your BPO, but it fills in all of the redundant, very repetitive boxes. This feat alone saves tons of time and headaches by no longer having to ‘recreate the wheel’ each time you do a new BPO order.
The other version is one that you can purchase for around two hundred dollars and will give you free reign to fully automate almost all of the date entry side of your BPO orders and monthly reports. Plus you can easily have it tailored to meet your own specific needs very easily as well.
(One of the companies that offers the software to help you do this charges a hefty monthly subscription fee, I think that it is just too much to pay when there are other better choices available. (I know from my own personal experience that sometimes the hardest part about learning about something foreign and unknown to you that not everyone knows that they really have a choice in the matter).
See it in action for yourself, check out this video that I made of me using the software to help me fill in parts of my BPO order:
http://www.nicoleocean.com/automatebpos_video_screenshot.jpg
Here is a quick breakdown:
The paid version will allow you to:
**Almost all of the blanks within your form (including all of the data about your comps as well as the redundant questions you are asked on each form).
The free version will allow you to:
**Automate almost all of the redundant, repetitive questions that are asked on each BPO order, but you can’t fully automate all of the comp information using this version.
I also want to let you know that am in the process of writing a new eBook on this topic specifically. Plus, I use the software myself to help me do my own BPO orders. I can tell you that there is no other eBook available online right now about what it means to completely automate your BPO orders, what software to use to do it, a step-by-step guide into exactly how it works and how to make it work for you, plus even how order it. The eBook is titled, “All You Ever Wanted to Know About Automating Your BPO Orders.” Keep your eye open for it!
So, if you are like me and are completely feed up and tired of having to fill out the same boxes on each one of your BPO forms and want to break away from the monotonous side of doing BPO work then this software can be your savior. Best of all it will help you save time, frustration from doing repetitive tasks which will free you up to being able to accept more work and in turn make more money and so much more than sit at your computer plugging away all day doing your BPO orders. (I’ve been there and done that!)
If you are interested in finding out more about the eBook’s release date feel free to email me and I’ll add you to my pre-order list.
You can reach me at: 360-223-2482 or sales@nicoleocean.com
Alright, I’ve got to get back to my BPO orders now, but I hope that you enjoyed this blog as much as I enjoyed writing it! Let me know your thoughts, comments and questions!
I’d be glad to help assist you,

In the meantime, keep doing a great job with your BPO work!
Take a look at another real estate ‘professional’ who stole some of my very own customer testimonials to use on his website. Notice the second testimonial where it still has my name in it! The person who did this to me is David Miller of the Miller Realty Group in Wellesley, MA. He owns bpo-success.com and on top of everything he is a licensed real estate broker! Read more to find out what I’ve done to combat him infringing on my copyrighted material…….
Copyright Infringement Issue
I first learned about David’s website at the beginning of October 2008. Just so you know within his website, he offers very similiar BPO products to mine. He is a reseller of the products that he offers, and is not reselling any of my products but instead is reselling another one of my competitors items. (To make things worse, I’ve also had an issue with copyright infringement also with this competitor as well as a handful of others).
So this is what I did to try to correct this HUGE ethical problem. I researched to find out who owned the website and got all of his information. I tried to contact him by phone two times right away to let him know I knew and require that he take down the offending material from his website. He was not available and didn’t return my phone calls.
I also send David a ‘Cease and Desist letter’ which is addresses what he is doing wrong, as well as my copyright certificate number and date issued. This letter is proper etiquette when dealing with someone who is infringing on your copyrighted material. I still have received no response to date from him.
I decided to take it to the next step without hiring an expensive copyright attorney (been there, done that). I filed a complaint to the Division of Professional Licensure in MA with their Office of Investigators. I would also have filed a complaint against him if he were a Realtor with his local Realtor Association, but go figure he is not a Realtor! That makes sense with his lack of having much ethics, morals and even consideration for my copyrighted content that I worked hard to get from some of my satisfied customers.
After checking up with them today after almost 1 month has passed since filing my complaint, they said that they have received it and still need to assign it to an investigator. Although it may take a few more weeks for them to investigate and address how they are going to handle disciplining David, my content is still active on David’s website and he is still infringing on my copyright privileges.
The saddest part is that this is not the first time someone has infringed on either the content on my website, on my eBooks or on copy that I wrote to promote my products on eBay as well.
In my next blog I’ll give you an indepth history of all of the people who have infringed on me since I wrote my first eBook “All You Ever Wanted to Know About Broker Price Opinions,” in January 2007.
Please feel to comment, I’d love to hear your thoughts…plus I’d like to invite you to read my next blog as well!
Kindly,

One of my past customers wrote me a note after questioning what the advantage was of joining my BPO and REO forum. After replying back to him about how my BPO forum is different……
**(I’ve got over 140 BPO and REO topics, over 995 comments. Plus I do not accept any outside advertisements like most of the real estate forums that are online today and lastly it is no longer a free forum where just anyone can access it. I’m looking for people who want to participate and share by having a positive, active voice) **
My past customer also made a mention of another real estate forum named www.agentsonline.net where some pretty negative comments were said about my decision to change the policy on my BPO and REO forum that is located at my website: www.nicoleocean.com
(Here’s a quick FYI here about the policy change: my BPO and REO forum at my website used to be free, it is no longer. Keep reading to learn more about why I decided to make the change and what my opinion is of the negative comments that were said about my decision on agentsonline.net)
I went on to tell him that “I do know what some people were saying about my decision about the forum and about me as a business owner/real estate agent and BPO trainer.
Unfortunately, most of the people that were complaining within BPO/REO and Foreclosure section of www.agentsonline.net were doing so because I revoked their membership to my forum and/or were unhappy because I changed my forum policy. Most of these very same people who commented were guilty of joining my forum to keep tabs, to take advantage without participating or giving back and in the end I feel are two faced. I’d rather not help those type of people.
Although, it was hard for me to hear such harsh criticism from people that I’ve never met or spoken to and vice versa, and most of these people didn’t purchase any of my products thus I feel couldn’t speak intelligently about the quality of my material, I accept it for what it is though, it’s their own personal opinion. I am completely ok with other people expressing their opinions, reactions and feeling towards my decision and if anything I am trying to fill a void with my forum because it has always been an accepting, positive and non-judgmental place for people to help each other and ask any question without fear of retaliation. I feel that the BPO/REO and Foreclosure section within www.agentsonline.net is filled with some extremely fearful, harsh and negative people who are afraid of anyone who will be their competition.
So I take this situation as a learning experience and am moving forward. I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished overall and feel blessed to have been able to share my knowledge of the BPO business to all those that have in turn gotten into the BPO and REO business and experienced very rewarding opportunities because of what they learned from me and my BPO products.
I hope that after reading through the posting for yourself and learning first hand about both sides of the story that you see the value of joining the forum. I would like to recommend that if you do join my forum that you should feel free to ask any question you want without fear or hesitation of experiencing any type of backlash!”
Thanks again for everything,
Nicole Ocean
