Top Ten REO Agents in Sac Region

Today's front page of the Bee lists the Top Ten REO Agents in the Sacramento Region. With the exception of a couple of these agents, I HATE, I repeat HATE showing these agents' listings. It is near impossible to get someone on their "Team" to call you back. It's hard to even find out if your offer was ever received, until 5 days later when you get an email that says, "multiple offers, highest and best requested." At which point you give your highest and best, only to be beat out by the other 42 cash offers. Poor first-time buyers with FHA loans are delegated to short sales.

Okay, now I'm being a bit sarcastic and melodramatic, but all you non-REO agents representing buyers know exactly what I'm talking about. And all buyers, have heard all this repeatedly with each offer you put in by your Realtor.

Someday, the banks will no longer control every aspect of our market except to make loans. That will be a sweet day.
