What makes this event different from everything else?

REO Expo 2011 facilitated on-site training programs for realtors throughout the country; bringing together REO management departments and their local realtor network.  The meetings were insightful and allowed for additional communication and strategy updates between these groups.    Through continued focus on delivering a true value add program, REO Expo puts the real estate management and sales on the front-burner. 

Beyond this, our conference is open to all. No membership required. We believe the best way to move the REO and real estate industry forward is through a spirit of cooperation and openness.

But perhaps the biggest difference is this: our commitment to commerce. What you’ll see at REO Expo this year are innovations designed to help you do more and better business than ever before.

I’ve heard about the Pinnacle Awards. How do I attend?

That’s easy. Every registered attendee to REO Expo 2012 gains entry to the industry’s most revered awards program.

Is this conference rooting for more distressed properties?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Every reasonable real estate professional on the planet wishes we didn’t face the mess we now face—and every single foreclosure is a tragedy to a local neighborhood.  As an industry, we can hope this problem goes away—or we can roll up our sleeves and get to work bringing balance back to housing markets nationwide.

The mission of REO Expo is to provide a central resource for sharing knowledge, ideas and best practices that can help real estate professionals successfully manage what will surely be a high level of distressed real estate, whether through short sales or REO. Because success here is defined at the local and community levels, where it really counts.

Everyone involved in organizing, hosting, and sponsoring this conference supports this proud vision of restored communities.
